items I’m a passionate reader and have read many books over the years. Reading is more than just a hobby for me — it’s a way to explore ideas, understand people, and think deeply about the world. The books I’m sharing here aren’t just popular — they’re pow...
i like how 1984 directly shows the danger of totalitarian regime. Book is chilling,thought-provoking and still feels relevant today. And the concept of Big brother or doublethink really stick with you.
1984 by George Orwell
Animal farm is one of my favorite book because it simply but sharply shows how power can corrupt. It’s about animals, but it’s really a warning about politics, control, and how revolutions can betray their own ideals. It’s short, smart, and still rel...
Animal Farm by George Orwell
Fahrenheit 451 is one of my favorite books because it clearly shows how dangerous it is when people stop thinking for themselves. The story is about a future where books are banned and firemen burn them. It’s not just about burning books—it’s a warni...
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
The Metamorphosis is one of my favorites because it says so much with so little. A man wakes up as a giant insect, but the real story is about how people treat you when you no longer fit into their world. It’s strange, sad, and makes you think deeply...
Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis
I love The Trial because it captures the feeling of being trapped in something you can’t understand or control. The main character is accused of a crime but never told what it is. It’s a powerful symbol of unfair systems and how society can crush ind...
The Trial by Franz Kafka
This is one of the deepest books I’ve ever read. The Brothers Karamazov is about family, belief, guilt, and freedom. It asks huge questions — about God, justice, and love — all through the story of three brothers and their murdered father. It’s inten...
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Crime and Punishment is a favorite because it dives straight into the mind of a murderer — not just what he did, but why, and what guilt does to a person. It’s dark and psychological, but full of meaning. It changed the way I think about right and wr...
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Lolita is one of the most beautifully written books I’ve read — even though the story is very uncomfortable. I like it because it shows how language can charm and manipulate. It’s complex, disturbing, and powerful in how it makes the reader think and...
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
I really admire The Idiot because it’s about someone truly kind and pure living in a world that doesn’t know how to treat him. Prince Myshkin is different — not because he’s stupid, but because he believes in goodness. It’s a tragic but touching stor...
The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky
This book is one of my favorites because it explores the dark side of beauty and vanity. Dorian never ages, but his soul does — hidden in a painting. It’s elegant, poetic, and has such a strong message about the masks people wear.
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Steppenwolf spoke to me on a personal level. It’s about feeling like you don’t belong — like there are two sides to you that don’t fit together. It’s deep, emotional, and helped me understand more about inner conflict and identity.
Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse
This book is a dream. I love Kafka on the Shore because it blends reality with fantasy in such a magical way. It’s mysterious, poetic, and full of strange beauty. Every time I read it, I feel like I’ve stepped into another world.
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
I love After Dark because it’s quiet but powerful. It takes place in one night, following people who live in the shadows of the city. It shows the beauty and sadness of being awake when the world sleeps — a short but haunting read.
After Dark by Haruki Murakami
Rashōmon is one of my favorites because it’s short but full of meaning. It shows how people change their morals to survive. It’s set in a ruined city, where a man has to choose between right and wrong in a harsh world. It really makes you ask: what w...
Rashomon and Other Stories: Akutagawa, Ryunosuke
I love In a Grove because it plays with truth and lies in such a clever way. It tells one crime from many points of view — and none of them match. It makes you think about how truth is never simple, and how people see the world in different ways.
In a Grove: Akutagawa, Ryūnosuke: 9798531025401
