Best Books To Read Before You Die
Reading books is heavenly anytime. If you are a bibliophile, there is no better joy and comfort than reading a bestseller. When you talk of bestsellers, there are millions of them. Under such circumstances, it can be a challenge to choose the best ones to read. Nevertheless, you should try to get your hands on the following books during your lifetime. Here are the eight best-selling books to read before you die.
1. Pride and Prejudice
If there is any book that you can read over and again, it has to be ''Pride and Prejudice.' Jane Austen's satire on the class structures and expose on the conservative marriage market of the Georgian era is surprisingly applicable to the modern era as well. The film based on this novel is also an all-time classic.
2. Beloved
The USA has a rich cultural history, but much of it is tainted by slavery. Toni Morrison, the author of ''Beloved', brings out USA's tainted past beautifully in the book. Not surprisingly, the coloured author received the Pulitzer for this masterpiece.
3. Frankenstein
Frankenstein is, indeed, the literary world's first sci-fi book. Mary Shelly brings out crucial aspects of human life in the plot that revolves around an obsessed scientist named Frankenstein and the monster that he creates. The beast seeks love from everyone, but all it got was dread and hate. Though it is a piece of fiction, it brings out the ethos and pathos of life in full measure.
