Dystopian

“1984”

I recommend "1984" by George Orwell. Set in a totalitarian society, this dystopian novel presents a terrifying future where individualism and freedom have been eradicated. The story follows Winston Smith, a low-ranking member of the ruling Party, who becomes disillusioned with the constant surveillance and manipulation of the government.
Science Fiction

“Dune”

One science fiction novel that I highly recommend is "Dune" by Frank Herbert. Set in the distant future, this epic tale combines elements of politics, religion, ecology, and adventure to create a rich and immersive narrative.
Romance

“The Hating Game”

One romance novel that I highly recommend is "The Hating Game" by Sally Thorne. This delightful and addictive story follows Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman, two executive assistants who work in the same office and despise each other. Their rivalry is fierce, with constant pranks and a never-ending battle for dominance. However, when a promotion opportunity arises, their competition reaches new heights.
Mystery

“Gone Girl”

I recommend "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. This gripping suspense novel delves into the dark and twisted dynamics of a marriage gone awry. The story revolves around Nick and Amy Dunne, a seemingly perfect couple whose lives take a shocking turn when Amy goes missing on their fifth wedding anniversary. As the investigation unfolds, secrets and lies emerge, and both Nick and Amy become prime suspects in the disappearance.
Romance

“The Rosie Project”

I recommend "The Rosie Project" by Graeme Simsion. This charming romance novel tells the story of Professor Don Tillman, a brilliant but socially awkward geneticist who decides to embark on a scientific quest to find the perfect life partner. He creates a detailed questionnaire, known as the "Wife Project," to filter out incompatible candidates.
