• You shouldn't user variable/function names that are already defined in Python. Your class ReadingList has an attribute list. This is a bad idea as there list keyword can clash with your definition

But this would get quite complicated, moreover, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to inherit Book from Library. Hence it is a good idea to keep Library as a separate that will merely control the books.

    def __init__(self,book_list = []):
        self.book_list = book_list

    def new_book(self,book):
        self.book_list.append(book)

    def remove_book(self,name): # book is the name of the book
        for book in self.book_list:
            if book.name == name:
                self.book_list.remove(book)
                break
