1984
George Orwell
Important and well-written, though the middle section drags a bit with the book-within-a-book.
Thinking, Fast and Slow
Daniel Kahneman
The most important non-fiction book of the 21st century. Kahneman deserved every accolade.
The Midnight Library
Matt Haig
Heartwarming and well-paced. Some of the alternate lives felt a bit surface-level but the message resonates.
Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen
Well-crafted but the pacing felt slow to me. I can see why it's beloved though.
Dracula
Bram Stoker
Harker's journal at the start is pure suspense. You know something is wrong but Harker keeps rationalizing.
Moby Dick
Herman Melville
Melville's humor is underappreciated. The book is genuinely funny in places between the existential dread.
Dracula
Bram Stoker
The first third set in Transylvania is incredible. The pace slows when they get to England but picks up again.
Jane Eyre
Charlotte Brontë
Jane's moral backbone is admirable. She walks away from love because her principles demand it.
The Catcher in the Rye
J. P. Steed
Better when you're young and angry at the world. As an adult I see Holden with more compassion and sadness.
Frankenstein o el Moderno Prometeo
Mary Shelley
Nature vs nurture, the ethics of creation, parental responsibility - all in a gothic horror novel from 1818.
