7 Masterful Books To Quote On Your Social Media Feed

As much as I hate the word “content” (since it is so generic), it is true that social media is a place for sharing information and debating topics.

You may find it difficult to think of enough material to quote or discuss, but with these books you will have plenty to choose from. The following are the books I’ve enjoyed most in recent weeks and months.
