items I see why reading can be boring to some people. But choosing proper book matters. Here are the list of books, which i have enjoyed reading and left a great impression overall.
Memorable read FOR SURE! The way Orwell captures the lifestyle of a crowd, who is blinded by the lies is terrifying but at the same time interesting, that makes the reader see the similarities between the plot and a reality.
Nineteen Eighty-four
Another classic! In my opinion, no less than 1984. I love the storytelling. It’s creepy, vague and at some points emotional and gut-wrenching too. The plot is similar to 1984 and it shows that every individual strives for glory. It is full of details...
Animal Farm by George Orwell
I remember reading this book on the way back home, in the train. At that time i had had read quite a few books by Christie, but the way it started, i knew it was something exceptional. And i was no wrong. No Poirot and Ms Marple. The 10 guests are ki...
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
Jaw-dropping experience. The protagonist is fighting his alter-ego, after committing a serious crime - murdering two females. The story is incredibly sad and is a MUST read
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Really strange story! But amazing! Gregor Samsa turns into a “horrible vermin”, and is dehumanized. The novella explores the themes of isolation and obligations we have as humans, that can affect on our mental wellbeing. Highly recommended!!
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
Check out who and what inspired the great writers - Orwell and Bradbury (maybe huxley too)😉
We by Yevgeny Zamyatin
The novel came out three months before the suicide of its author - Sylvia Plath. This book is also about suicide… and is worth a read, just because of the fig tree metaphor.
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
This emotional and heartbreaking story highlights the cruelty of the totalitarian regime.
Flight from the USSR
The metaphoric novel, which hints to the totalitarianism and its downsides🐀
The Plague by Albert Camus
A classic for a reason!! Love the storytelling and the idea of the novel. Ending left me empty, but not disappointed .😔
White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Novel, that covers the themes of war and its consequences, power of friendship, human behavior and mind.
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
Another dystopian novel, which highlights the importance of books. 451 Fahrenheit is the temperature at which book paper spontaneously ignites and burns.
Fahrenheit 451
