I have been listening to different fictional, non-fictional, comic/graphic novels, poetry, and audiobooks in my free time (I'm always free) and even while playing games. For a long time, I've been writing down the names of the books, but I've forgotten most of their content. Here is a list of those books with short descriptions, without categorizing them into specific genres:
Books
Animal Farm - George Orwell (Allegorical, Satire Novel)
It was my first novel. In this short novel, animals on a farm are used to show how revolutions can start with good ideas but end up in unfair rule. It is a story about power, control, and corruption. It was satire to the Russian Revolution but applies to every revolution.
The Kite Runner – Khaled Hosseini (Fiction, Drama)
This book stayed with me for a long time. It's about two boys in Afghanistan and how one mistake changes their friendship forever. The writer uses simple words in this novel.
Fahrenheit 451 – Ray Bradbury (Science Fiction, Dystopian World)
This novel imagines a future where books are burned. While reading, I felt how dangerous it would be if people lost the freedom to think and question. It's short but very powerful.
A Thousand Splendid Suns – Khaled Hosseini (Historical Fiction / Drama)
After reading The Kite Runner, I stumbled upon this emotional story about two women in Afghanistan whose lives are shaped by war and society. It's about friendship, survival, and hope.
1984 - George Orwell (Dystopian / Political Fiction)
I read this after Animal Farm. This classic dystopian novel shows a world under total government control. It's a cautionary tale about surveillance, truth, and personal freedom.
White Nights – Fyodor Dostoevsky (Romance / Fiction)
This short romantic story tells about loneliness and unexpected love. It's descriptive, emotional, and reflective, perfect for a quick read.
Rich Dad Poor Dad – Robert T. Kiyosaki (Non-Fiction / Self-Help)
My first self-help book (I could have watched 20 minutes of video explanation). This book talks about money, investing, and thinking differently about wealth. It's full of practical advice and real-life examples.
To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee (Fiction / Drama)
I have both read this book and watched the movie based on it. The story talks about growing up in the American South, facing prejudice, and learning empathy. It's a powerful tale of justice, morality, and courage.
Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka (Novella / Fiction)
How could I forget this book? I am a hip-hop listener and heard his name many times and watched some videos on "Kafkasque". I read this unusual story about a man who wakes up one day transformed into a giant insect. It's a strange and thought-provoking tale that explores isolation, family, and human nature.
