What’s more lovely than discovering a list of books in a library book with the heading “Just in case you need it?”
Perhaps, it’s reading those books with someone who needs them.
“The Reading List” is a beautiful story about the importance of reading.
As a life-long reader, I was very moved by this story which highlights impactful novels and ordinary people.
Sweet, sad, saccharine at times, but so uplifting it has a way of touching your heart.

“It was strange, the idea that this book wasn't just for him, it was for everyone. All these people who had taken it out before him, people who would take it out after him. Every reader, unknowingly connected in some small way.”

Wouldn’t that be a great surprise! Finding a list of books you’ve never read before. Sounds like a sweet story.
