Adult Fiction Outside of a Dog Booklist

"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."
—Groucho Marx

We are frequently asked to recommend literature to folks, and while there's nothing better than taking the time to know what a person likes and recommend for their tastes, we've definitely settled on a number of books that are our personal favorites. This list is meant to promote books that will help you branch beyond the latest New York Times bestseller, and expose you to books that will enlighten and edify you.
