But that shouldn’t stop you from continuing to strive towards developing a wider perspective on life. Books are a great source of other people’s experiences and wisdom. To help one along the path to 35, these books will make you think, giggle, cry, provoke discussion, and appreciate everything you have in life, whether you are in your twenties or just about to turn 35.
