Contemporary Era(post 60s): The English Patient? All the books coming to mind are like 1950s :(</p>
<p>Lol, it’s for personal choice? I could have given like 30 books for contemporary that were in the 50s 
Why the category’s anyway? Just go to a B&N and look at their classics section; that’s what I did about 5 years back and so have read 3/4th of the books there since</p>
