1) One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez's multi-generational spanning magnum opus was a landmark in Spanish literature. But this books describes magic realism at its best. Both funny and moving, this book made me reflect for weeks on the inexorable march of time.

2) The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (1925)

Hypnotic, tragic, both of its time and completely relevant.

3) Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

In this novel the technology was becoming advanced and people were choosing simpler forms of entertainment like televisions and radio. Books were no longer favored because the contents are the same for fear of offending some groups. The book didn’t state why the books are banned, but it may be to censor the people from certain truths; and to give the people equal levels of knowledge (by burning all the books, no one can be more knowledgeable than the other).

4) Nineteen Eight-Four by George Orwell

oh, if you are book worm then you probably know George Orwell for his outstanding classic books, many are quiet famous like The Animal Farm and many more. In this book it describes that A world in total control by the government. You’re enslaved by their policies and have nothing to do but obey. Freedom of expression is prohibited and even thinking differently would send you to jail. Nineteen Eighty-Four gave me a glimpse of that kind of world a Totalitarian world. Despite living in this nightmare, the hero of the story, Winston Smith, fought tooth and nail to find out the truth and rebelled in the government. He fell in love with a like-minded person named Julia, but the government eventually found out their secret affair which led to their imprisonment. 1984 is the depiction of Nazism and Stalinism and Winston represented the civilians and their pursuit of freedom.

Will we rise and challenge those who seek to shape our future or sleepwalk toward conditioning by technology.!?

One of literature's steeliest heroines, in her short life Jane Eyre has overcome a traumatic childhood only to be challenged by secrets, strange noises and mysterious fires in her new home of Thornfield Hall.

11) War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

War and Peace is a historic novel centered upon the French invasion in Russia in 1812. Tolstoy created a novel so real from the original events that it was as if you’re living right into the story. Even the names used in the story were based on Tolstoy’s family, only altered a little, so that the Russians can relate well. Although the book is about war, it shows underlying concepts like searching for the meaning of life. The characters in the story came very close to death that upon recuperating from the accident, they began to question their purpose. I ask myself the same question every once in a while to assess my way of life and improve myself.

After being expelled in prep school for having low grades, Holden wanted to be the “catcher in the rye” someone who prevents children from falling off the cliff, which can be a metaphor for adulthood. He wanted to stop his sister Phoebe, and every child, from growing up, being an adult and saying goodbye to their innocence. Who can blame him? If only all of us can be as innocent as children forever, there’ll probably be no hate in the world.

14) Moby-Dick by Herman Melville

This is great American novel with great characters, wonderful language, thick with the Bible and Thomas Browne, and has the best opening sentence ever. When you will read this novel you will be like what not to like!!
