'The Great Gatsby' by Scott
Fitzgerald is a magnificently written
book consisting of credible characters
portraying a range of personalities. The
plot unfolds through a narration by Nick
Carraway and follows the mysterious
Jay Gatsby in his pursuit of happiness.
The descriptions of the parties you will
read about will successfully transport
you back to the hot summer of the
1920s, evoking vivid imagery and
cadence. This marvelous book should
be in the must read list.
My all-time favorite book is the Holy
Book, Qur’an. No other book can ever
be compared to the Qur’an because its
author is the Creator of all the authors on
this earth. The Qur’an contains the words
of Allah, sent down 1400 years ago and
is preserved to date. It is sent for the
whole of the humanity and tells us the
way of life, so that we may prosper in this
world and the Hereafter-the eternal life.
The Qur’an gives spiritual benefits and
psychological tranquility by the manner
in which it is recited with measured tone.
I recommend that everyone reads i t.
The book that I first held and read
still remains immortal as my favourite. It
seems just like yesterday when I was all
set to escape the tedious realism of life
and surrender myself to the adventure I
held in my hands - the riveting escapade
of Suzanne Collins, 'The Hunger Games'.
Adventure, action, thriller, mystery,
conspiracy, love, and betrayal – the book
had it all to intrigue and entrance forever.
I can still clearly recall the day I turned the
last page of the book and felt a little as if I
had lost a friend.

Every time I read R. L Stine’s 'Night
of the living Dummy', it makes the hair
on my skin stand and has ever since
become my favourite book. Stine’s
books always have a sinister plot and
this really excites me. Although his
books are all fiction, the way he writes
makes it all seem so real!
Who did that? Why did he do such a
thing? Will Holmes ever solve this case?
When these questions hit you with the
unease of suspense, your curious mind
would self-trigger to an extent that the
inanimate texts of a book will capture
your absolute attention. Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle’s 'The Speckled Band'
is a must-read for readers who enjoy
mystery.
Books! Unfortunately, not many people
understand the importance and the ability
books have to transport you to another
world. It is hard to pick out one book as a
favourite, but one I found interesting was
'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'. The
trilogy had so much meaning that it made
me want to read the book again and
again because it was that good.
