Alright /lit/, let's play a little game.
You're dying, you can only read three books. After you finish the third book, you're done. What three books would you want your last books to be?
>inb4 Don't Read.
I would read Bram Stoker's Dracula, 1984, and Labyrinths.

tl;dr Three books you want to be your last to read
