1984
George Orwell
A dark and gripping read. The relationship between Winston and Julia adds a human element to the political allegory.
Thinking, Fast and Slow
Daniel Kahneman
The anchoring effect chapter alone is worth the price. I catch myself falling for it constantly now.
Dracula
Bram Stoker
The count climbing down the castle wall like a lizard is an image that haunts me to this day.
The Midnight Library
Matt Haig
The multiverse concept applied to one person's regrets. Simple but effective storytelling.
Jane Eyre
Charlotte Brontë
The St. John Rivers section drags but serves an important purpose - showing Jane what she doesn't want.
The great gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The party scenes are vivid and the tragedy is palpable. A snapshot of an era and a warning about excess.
The Catcher in the Rye
J. P. Steed
I understand why it's important but I just couldn't connect with Holden this time around.
Frankenstein o el Moderno Prometeo
Mary Shelley
The most important horror novel ever written. It asks: who is the real monster? The answer is always the creator.
Wuthering Heights
Emily Brontë
Everyone in this book is terrible and I couldn't stop reading. That's Emily Bronte's genius.
The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit
J.R.R. Tolkien
Sam is the true hero and I will die on this hill. His loyalty and courage are the emotional core of LOTR.
