10 books to read before I'm an unc
1. 1984 by George Orwell
Not gonna lie I was reading this book earlier this year when we were told to read a book for the AP exam but I put it aside. It offers profound lessons in terms of society and government, and each character is intricately crafted (according to the internet), especially that the main character is just a normal guy.
2. Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien
It appeals to me as a place where you can be transported into a fantasy world and forget about everything. Although it is lengthy, I think that only adds to the complexity of the story.
This book includes themes of morality and human nature. Many people rate it as highly valuable and I'd like to read it for myself.
4. The Little Prince
A short but valuable book. It might be considered a children's book but also is great for adults. This one I can finish for sure.
5. Van Gogh: The Life
There's a lot to learn from someone else's life, especially Vincent Van Gogh.
6. Apology by Plato
I once read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and it made me feel real smart and philosophical. It's a short dialogue, and I can feel like Socrates himself.
7. Boundless by Ben Greenfield
They say health is wealth and who wouldn't want to live a little longer or a little better.
8. All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
This is a great book that reminds us of the terrors of war. I have seen movies of war but I think a book will be significantly different and offer a different perspective.
9. Dune by Frank Herbert
This is like Lord of the Rings in which I'd like to read it solely for the storyline. I've watched both the movies and they were absolutely great.
10. I will teach you to be rich by Ramit Sethi
I plan on reading this book in hopes of fulfilling my millionaire dreams, or at least get a head start in personal finance and the money side of life.
In 10 years I hope I'm not sleeping on the street and unhappy with life.
