Top Ten
Books That Make You Think (About The World, People, Life, etc.)
This is my favorite book of all time. Absolute
favorite! Number one. Best. If I were to pick one book to save from apocalypse, this would most definitely be it. Ugh. I just LOVE this book so butterflying much! If
you haven’t read it, I command
advise you to pick this up immediately. It’s one of those books that
stays with you forever and never leaves your heart or mind completely. It’s
breathtaking how well Lee has described human nature and how gorgeous
meanings can be found behind these complicated thoughts. I just love, love, love this
book. ♥
This book definitely got me thinking about the
choices we make or don’t (want to) make and consequences thereafter. It’s all
about choices in this novel and I literally thought about it afterwards
for at least two days and couldn’t get my thoughts out of this tornado that
was going on in my head.
Yes, it’s a children’s book, but it’s full
of philosophical and suprisingly simple, but extremely important thoughts on life and people. I love it! It’s a
very short book and there are beautiful illustrations beside these smart ideas and thoughts. What an absolute joy to read!
I feel like as opposed to previous eras where
one could easily become sufficient in a
chosen vocation, nowadays you’re nothing without a paper, stating
you’ve finished Uni and gotten not only BA (more known as unfinished Uni
degree) but MA as well, in your hand. In this book the male protagonist doesn’t own a passport so
even though he is the best surgeon and saves lives on a daily basis, he cannot
contribute to the society in the light of day since he is an immigrant. He is
nothing without a piece of paper and I feel like our society is drifting towards that direction, too. No paper proving to have a degree from Uni (usually) equals no future.
I absolutely adore this book and it’s one of my favorite of
all time. Have read it like at least 5 times and every time I do, I find
something new to think about. Pride is one of people’s worst enemies, I know
it’s mine. I don’t like to ask for help or feel like I’m failing. Who does? I
don’t think there are that many people who do. Moreover, prejudice is a nasty
beast, too, if you ask me. Judging a book by its cover or by other people’s
opinions is quite ofthen the case in life.
Man, how I love this book! Contemporary YA fiction
is exciting and easy to follow, but a lot of the times it falls short on a
deepful meaning behind the words. PoR has a very special place in my heart. I’m
so unbelievably stubborn and it's easy to relate to Lake since she is stubborn, too. She puts Will through tests
and the poor guy is doing his best to keep up with everything and prove to her that
she is THE one for him and vice versa. When the final 1/3 of the book started, I was taken aback by a
huge shock and Oh. My. Freaking. God. It was intense and got me thinking about
life in general for days after I finished reading it.
I am not actually a fan of this book in general, there were just too many things that bothered me, but it got me
thinking about family problems and how we don’t take time to listen to each
other, are so hung up on work, school and solving big problems that we don’t take notice of the
small ones right in front of us that are in desperate need of our attention. In addition, the ending was a huge shock and I
just wanted to stab this book in the heart with my tears.
I always think of this book when
someone talks about time travel. What if it really is possible? What if by
choosing to do one thing you could change many lives? What if that changes the balance of the whole
world? It’s crazy to think about and this book leaves you breathless with the writing
style, plotline, ideas and everything else possible.
It’s such a great contemporary YA book and in addition to
falling in love with the characters, after reading the book you feel like
you’ve been to a class of life. Definitely got me thinking about our existence,
love, life etc.
It’s a great example of how the society is obsessed
with reality TV, looks, wealth, fame etc.
We are so hung up on material values that quite often we don’t even realize what
actual wealth is: loving someone, being loved, home, support, kindness, selflessness, bravery. I
love the hidden meanings behind the words and different scenes. I think one can
define this piece of work as a satire of the modern society. In addition to a gripping story with kick-ass characters it gives you a lot to think about.
What did you think? Did any of these books made it to your top ten list? Would you add any books to mine? What would they be? Leave me a comment and a link to your TTT and I'll stop by and check out yours :)
