Here are the TOP 20 most interesting books for your attention. Read and enjoy...
- Hurry to Love (1999)
Nicholas Sparks
The genre of the book is a love story.
It is generally accepted that only female authors succeed in romance novels. “Hurry to Love” is an exception in this specific genre. Sparks' book won the love of readers around the world and became one of his most popular works.
The story of a touching and incredible love between a priest's daughter Jamie and a young man Landon. A book about a feeling that intertwines the destinies of two halves only once in a lifetime.
- Foam of days (1946)
Boris Vian
The genre of the book is a surreal love story.
A deep and surreal love story based on real events from the author's life. The allegorical presentation of the book and the unusual plane of events are the highlight of the work, which for readers has become completely postmodern with a chronology of despair, spleen, and shockingness.
The heroes of the book are gentle Chloe with a lily in her heart, the author’s alter ego is Colin, his tiny mouse and cook, friends of lovers. A work full of light sadness that everything ends sooner or later, leaving only the foam of days.
The novel has been filmed twice, in both cases unsuccessfully - no one has yet succeeded in conveying the entire atmosphere of the book without missing important details.
- The Hungry Shark Diaries
Stephen Hall
The genre of the book is fantasy.
The action takes place in the 21st century. Eric wakes up with the thought that all the events of his previous life have been erased from his memory. According to the doctor, the cause of amnesia is severe trauma, and this is the 11th relapse. From this moment on, Eric begins to receive letters from himself and hide from the “shark” that is devouring his memories. His task is to understand what is happening and find the key to salvation.
Hall's debut novel, consisting entirely of puzzles, allusions, and allegories. Not for the general reader. This is the kind of book that people don’t take with them on the train; they don’t read it “on the run,” but slowly and with pleasure.
- White Tiger (2008)
Aravind Adiga
The genre of the book is realism, novel.
A boy from a poor Indian village, Balram stands out from his sisters and brothers by his reluctance to accept fate. A coincidence of circumstances throws the “White Tiger” (approx. a rare animal) into the city, after which the boy’s fate changes dramatically - from falling to the very bottom, his steep rise to the very top begins. Either a madman or a national hero, Balram tries his best to survive in the real world and escape from his cage.
The White Tiger is not an Indian “soap opera” about the “prince and the pauper”, but a revolutionary work that breaks stereotypes about India. This book is about that India that you will not see in beautiful films on TV.
- Fight Club (1996)
Chuck Palahniuk
The genre of the book is a philosophical thriller.
An ordinary clerk, exhausted by insomnia and the monotony of life, by chance meets Tyler. The philosophy of the new acquaintance is self-destruction as the goal of life. An ordinary acquaintance quickly develops into friendship, culminating in the creation of a “Fight Club”, the main thing in which is not victory, but the ability to endure pain.
Palahniuk's special style launched not only the popularity of the book, but also the already well-known film adaptation with Brad Pitt in one of the main roles. A challenging book about a generation of people for whom the boundaries of good and evil have blurred, about the insignificance of life and the race for illusions, from which the world is going crazy.
A work for people with already formed consciousness (not for teenagers) - to comprehend and rethink their lives.
- Fahrenheit 451 (1953)
Ray Bradbury
The genre of the book is fantasy, novel.
The title of the book is the temperature at which the paper burns. The action takes place in a “future” in which literature is banned, reading books is a crime, and firefighters’ job is to burn books. Montag, who works as a fireman, reads a book for the first time...
The work that Bradbury wrote before us and for us. More than fifty years ago, the author was able to look into the future, where fear, indifference to others and indifference completely replace those feelings that make us human. No extra thoughts, no books - only human mannequins.
- Book of Complaints (2003)
Max Fry
The genre of the book is philosophical novel, fantasy.
No matter how hard it is for you, no matter how unsuccessful life turns out, never curse it - neither in your thoughts nor out loud. Because someone near you will happily live your own life for you. For example, that smiling girl over there. Or that old lady in the yard. These are the Nakhs who are always near us...
Self-irony, subtle banter, mysticism, unusual plot, realistic dialogues (sometimes too much) - time flies by with this book.
- Pride and Prejudice (1813)
Jane Austen
The genre of the book is a love story.
Time period: 19th century. The Bennett family has 5 unmarried daughters. The mother of this poor family, of course, dreams of marrying them off...
The plot seems to be hackneyed to the point of “eyesores,” but for hundreds of years Jane Austen’s novel has been reread by people from different countries again and again. Because the characters of the book are etched into the memory forever, and, despite the calm pace of events, the work does not let the reader go even after the final page. An absolute masterpiece of literature.
A pleasant “bonus” is a happy ending and the opportunity to sneak away a tear from sincere joy for the heroes.
- Golden Temple (1956)
Yukio Mishima
The genre of the book is realism, philosophical drama.
The action takes place in the 20th century. The young man Mizoguchi, after the death of his father, finds himself in a school at Rinzai (approx. Buddhist Academy).

Not a single wrinkle on the now eternally youthful face of the protagonist, and his portrait, according to his wishes, ages and gradually dies. And, of course, you have to pay for everything in this world...
