50 books SDSU loves

50 Books SDSU Loves

Looking for a good book? Love Library has 50.

To cap off the 50th anniversary year for Love Library, library staff created a list of “50 Books SDSU Loves.” Nominations were gathered from students, faculty and staff, and then the librarians narrowed the list to 50.

The list reflects diversity of the SDSU community. The top book, “Kindred” by Octavia Butler, was written by a Black woman and, as Amazon summarizes, “The visionary author’s masterpiece pulls us – along with her Black female hero – through time to face the horrors of slavery and explore the impacts of racism, sexism, and white supremacy then and now.”

The list also includes timeless classics, such as “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “The Great Gatsby,” and light-hearted options, such as “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.” Nonfiction works include “Becoming” by Michelle Obama.

Check out the full list!
