Well it's been a 月 または so since my last "10 Books" article, so as promised, I'm back with もっと見る suggestions. I want to point out that these are my personal opinions, and I stand behind every book I add to any list. I 愛 science fiction and ファンタジー and I wanted this 一覧 to reflect some of the 本 I believe anyone can enjoy whether these are their お気に入り genres または not. I intend to add 10 new 本 to every list, so if あなた feel one is missing, please refer to my other lists as I may have already mentioned them. As always, I welcome your comments!
1. Ender's Game によって Orson Scott Card
Ah, Ender's Game. After A Wrinkle in Time (which, I apologize, is not one of my favorites) this is often "a child's first sci-fi." This is an inspiring type of story about a young boy born at a disadvantage in a futuristic world. This is actually the first in the series, but I don't think I'll ever get to the others as the first one truly stands alone in my opinion.
2. Dance Dance Dance によって Haruki Murakami
What can I possibly say about Murakami? When あなた read his books, あなた feel almost as if they were written for you. I was in 愛 with this book from the very first sentence. And I can hardly explain why. This one doesn't delve too deeply into the abnormal, but it definitely has some elements of the fantastic.
3. Animal Farm によって George Orwell
Though I am もっと見る of a ファン of his 1984, Orwell's Animal Farm is a marvelous introduction to allegory and human (or animal) nature. This book subtly コメント on Communism through the guise of a farm animal revolution. It also has one of the best endings of all-time.
4. Howl's Moving 城 によって Diana Wynn Jones
I first have to admit that Howl's Moving 城 is one of my absolute お気に入り movies. The book surprised me によって being just as good. They are both very different and I would highly recommend either one または both. Just be sure to go into it with the mindset that the differences between them are good ones.
5. Luthiel's Song: Dreams of the Ringed Vale によって Robert Marston Fanney
This is actually the first book in a series, but I have only read this first one so far. It seems like a typical kind of ファンタジー from the outside, elves and other strange creatures fighting an evil somewhat invisible enemy. But it's so much もっと見る than that. Nothing is quite as it seems. I think people who like LOTR または エラゴン would enjoy this book.
6. Neuromancer によって William Gibson
I'm told Gibson used to be one of the key players in science fiction and the genre itself owes him a great deal. This is the only one of his 本 I have ever read and it is definitely a straight up sci-fi. It reminds me slightly of Blade Runner, but of course the plots are nothing alike. I can't really explain why I enjoyed this one so much, but it certainly pulled me in.
7. ウォッチメン によって Alan Moore
This is the first (and probably last) graphic novel I've ever read. I'll admit it gets a little long in the middle, but it's really a fantastic story. Having the 画像 to follow really makes the novel もっと見る vivid and really sets the tone and mood. I have never been big into superheroes, but this one is definitely worth your time.
8. Coraline によって Neil Gaiman
It feels wrong not to include a Neil Gaiman book, so I'm going with my お気に入り one: Coraline. I actually saw the movie first and like it slightly better. But the two things are very different, so it's entirely possible for me to like both for separate reasons. The book was haunting and left my ハート, 心 thudding. It's the kind of story that really sticks with you.
9. Galapagos によって Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Vonnegut is my お気に入り author, so I'm sure his 本 will appear fairly often on my lists. I 愛 his two most 人気 本 of course (Slaughterhouse Five and Cat's Cradle), but Galapagos is worth mentioning. I've never in my life met another person who has read it. It's the story of a post-apocalyptic type world chronicling the surviving humans in the Galapagos. It's very funny and flows in Vonnegut's usual humorous style.
10. Wicked によって Gregory Maguire
I've heard people say both good and bad things about Wicked, but I simply adore it. I read this one while I was studying in Spain, oddly enough. It was one of the two 本 I'd brought with me, and rather than letting it last me a longtime, I ravenously tore through the book in a 日 または two, forgoing outings to the ビーチ and instead opting to stay in ベッド with my awesome, hard-to-put-down book.
