The Kite Runner is a masterfully written book that is set in a nation that is about to be destroyed and tells the unforgettable, heartbreaking tale of the unexpected connection between a rich child and the son of his father’s servant. It discusses the influence of reading, the cost of betrayal, the potential for forgiveness, as well as the influence of dads upon their sons—their affection, their sacrifices, and their falsehoods.
The Kite Runner is the first Afghan book to be published in English. It recounts a grand tale of family, devotion, and friendships against a never-before-told historical backdrop, evoking the expansive canvases of nineteenth-century Russian writers. The catastrophic history of Afghanistan during the past 30 years is the focus of this narration, which is outdated in style. The Kite Runner is a unique and potent debut that is equally engrossing and sensitive on an emotional level.

The third book written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, was released in 1925. It chronicles the tragic tale of self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby and his pursuit of Daisy Buchanan, a wealthy young woman he once loved, in Jazz Age New York. The narrative of the book is provided by Nick Carraway, who describes the happenings of the summer of 1922 after moving into the fictitious Long Island community of West Egg. He resides there among the newly wealthy, while his cousin Daisy and her violently wealthy husband, Tom Buchanan, reside across the water in the more affluent community of East Egg.
Nick eventually receives an invitation to one of Jay Gatsby’s glamorous parties as the summer goes on. Nick extends an invitation to Daisy to fulfill Gatsby’s wish, and there they rekindle their romance. Tom meets Gatsby at the Plaza Hotel as soon as he learns of the affair. Gatsby claims that he and Daisy have always been in adoration and that she has never loved Tom despite Daisy’s attempts to calm them down. As the altercation intensifies, Tom divulges what he discovered during an inquiry into Gatsby’s affairs: that the man had made his money by dealing in illicit booze. Daisy has abandoned her desire to divorce her husband, and despite Gatsby’s best efforts to the contrary, his case appears doomed.
Daisy, who just knew that Tom was engaging in an affair, does not know who Myrtle Wilson is until she is hit and killed on the road. Daisy is terrified as she continues to drive, but onlookers notice the car. George Wilson, Myrtle’s widower, arrives in East Egg the following afternoon. Tom informs him that Gatsby killed his wife. Wilson visits Gatsby’s home and shoots both the man and himself. Following the Buchanans’ departure from Long Island, Nick plans Gatsby’s burial. Fitzgerald regarded The Great Gatsby as his finest work when it was first released, yet the novel was neither a critical nor financial triumph.

The Alchemist is a phenomenal book and the narrating is lovely. The selection of words is faultless, brimming with insight and reasoning. I completely cherished it. The story is exceptionally charming and overflows with confidence which I believe is vital in our lives. The book shows that the excursion to your fate is all around as significant as the actual predetermination. I love the way the book underscores the significance of confidence, trust, and otherworldliness through the tale of a conventional kid. I think this book requests to everybody since we as a whole have dreams and once in a while we simply believe somebody should let us know that they might work out. Overall,”The Alchemist” is an exceptionally interesting fiction novel and it merits space on everybody’s shelf.

William Golding, a British author who won the Nobel Prize, published Lord of the Flies in 1954. The story follows a bunch of British youths’ unsuccessful attempts to rule themselves while stuck on a deserted island.
The story revolves around a gang of schoolboys who get lost on a desolate island. However, don’t allow the young cast to fool you into believing that this is a kid’s book. I had no idea Lord of the Flies was as dark as it is, and I was shocked by some of the things that happened.
The young lads initially make an effort to emulate the island’s tidy adult society. To ensure that any passing ships can see the smoke coming from the island, they band together just to keep a fire going. However, without any adults there to watch over them, the lads start to act violently, cruelly, and brutally in an effort to live.
In the end, I gave this book a 3 out of 5-star rating since I was generally unimpressed and let down by the plot. For young adults who want to read a classic psychological survival thriller, this book’s brief length is ideal. Personally, I don’t think I’ll read this book again because I found most of the tale to be really boring. Although it was intriguing to observe how the mind can evolve to survive such a challenging circumstance and turn it into a game. I think you’ll also enjoy reading this book if you have any interests in sociology or psychology.

Nineteen Eighty-Four is a unique masterpiece that ranks among the 20th century’s most influential books; as its dystopian purgatory becomes more real, it gets more menacing. The dystopian social science fiction book Nineteen Eighty-Four by English author George Orwell serves as a warning. It was Orwell’s ninth and last book that he finished during his lifetime, and Secker & Warburg released it on June 8, 1949.
The 1949 publication of the book features political satirist George Orwell’s terrifying portrayal of a totalitarian, bureaucratic world and one poor stiff’s quest for identity. The novel’s genius lies in Orwell’s prescience of contemporary life—the pervasiveness of television, the linguistic distortion—and his capacity to provide such an in-depth depiction of hell. It has been compulsory reading for students from the moment it was published and is one of the scariest books ever.

Animal Farm, a satirical allegorical novella by George Orwell about a farm, was first released in England on August 17, 1945. It depicts the tale of a band of farm animals who rise up to confront their man farmer in an effort to establish an animal-friendly society.
Animals that have been abused and overworked on a farm take over. They went out to construct a paradise of advancement, fairness, and equality with fiery idealism and passionate slogans. The setting is therefore set for one of the most incisive satiric tales ever written—a sharp-edged fairy tale for adults that charts the progression from the revolt against oppression to totalitarianism that is just as dreadful. As Animal Farm was initially published, it was thought to be directed toward Stalinist Russia. Today, it is glaringly obvious that George Orwell’s masterpiece has a meaning and a message that are still fiercely relevant wherever and whenever liberty is attacked, regardless of the cause.
John Steinbeck wrote the novella Of Mice and Men. It was published in 1937 and tells the story of George and Lenny that make an unusual couple. George is “small and quick and dark of face,” but Lennie has the brains of a kid despite his gigantic bulk. Regardless, they are just like family to me.

George R.R. Martin’s “A Game of Thrones” depicts the story of numerous feuding families and their fight for control of the seven kingdoms. The plot, which takes place in a far-off but vaguely familiar medieval Europe, draws comparisons to England’s “War of the Roses” while also introducing a number of distinctive fantastical features. The politics of the Iron Throne, a metaphor for the complete and total power a King wields in a feudal political system, are followed by the reader as they go through the novel. The reader also follows the perspectives of 8 other characters, which change as the chapters progress.
The King agrees to appoint Eddard “Ned” Stark as the hand of the king as he journeys north to Winterfell to meet with his dependable vassal and friend. Ned reluctantly follows the King down to the South, but as the scheme develops, Eddard discovers a secret that the King and some of his closest advisors are unaware of. War rages in Westeros after the death of the King and the destruction of Eddard’s home, with various figures staking claims to the Iron Throne.
After finishing J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, I decided to pick up this book, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Fantasy aficionados frequently assert that Tolkien’s writings are the literary pinnacle of the genre, but I now lean toward disagreeing. The book, in my opinion as an intermediate to the advanced reader, was well-written and interesting. But I would say that the book progresses a little too slowly for my tastes. Some people might grow bored with its plot, especially in light of the series’ enormous number of books. The choice of outdated terminology also contributes to this effect because certain readers may find it difficult to follow up.
Overall, I’d suggest that anyone who enjoys reading medieval-fantasy books should give this one a shot. It’s true that reading it will take some time and that it’s not an easy task, but after persevering, I discovered that I enjoyed every page even more than the one before!
