C Level Book Recommendations (List not finished)
Reading is not only great for developing English skills like grammar usage and vocabulary. It can also help you develop your opinions in many of the most important aspects of life. Here is a list of books I recommend to read for both their entertainment value, as well as the lessons that they will leave imprinted upon you.
1. Dracula by Bram Stoker. I had to read this book in high school and I never saw so many of my fellow students, many of whom hated to read, devour this book so voraciously. It is a thriller from beginning to end and I cannot wait to read it again someday.
2. Lord of the Flies by William Golding. From Wikipedia:Lord of the Flies is a 1954 novel by Nobel Prize-winning English author William Golding about a group of British boys stuck on an uninhabited island who try to govern themselves with disastrous results.
I am currently reading this book for the first time and I am simply flying through it. After finishing the first few pages, I knew I was in for something really terrifying. The feeling of helplessness and hunger for power really shine through in this incredible story of survival and society building.
3. Animal Farm by George Orwell. It is about a group of animals who rebel against the humans from the farm they live on and run it themselves with hopes of being equal, free, and happy. In the end, however, the new rule becomes a cruel tyranny of its own led by the pigs. This was another book we had to read in high school and Orwell, also being the author of 1984, does not disappoint with this incredible tale. Orwell wrote it to describe Stalin's betrayal of the Russian revolution.
4. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. From Wikipedia: Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by the English author Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley that tells the story of a young science student Victor Frankenstein, who creates a grotesque but sentient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment.
I've read this book twice and both times have been quite enjoyable. The story keeps the reader engaged and on the edge of their seat.
5. The Stand by Stephen King. Actually, this book comes with my HIGHEST 4 star Platinum Over the Moon Amazing recommendation. Just from reading the first page you WILL be hooked. God this book is awesome...
