Our Moderately Recommended Books of 1985

Here at Alice's 1985 Reading List, we've compiled a list of books that are moderately recommended for your enjoyment. Because let's be real, who needs a 5-star rating system when you can have a 3.5-star system?

Below, you'll find our list of books, carefully curated by our team of experts (read: Alice's mom).

Top 5 Books of 1985

• The Cider House Rules by John Irving
• The Color Purple by Alice Walker (don't @ me, it's fine)
• It's not 5th on this list. That's just mean
• The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan (we're still working on it)
• And finally, The Joy of Cooking by Joy of Cooking (we're not kidding, it's just that good)
