To kill a mockingbird - I have only just started reading the book but based on the first few pages, it seems to have a plot that is based on a real life scenario that occurs in America. The plot seems to be more complicated than other books which is challenging.
Book: superhuman by Michael CarrolIt is a good book with a complex storyline which makes it interesting to read
Hunter S. Thompson's 'Hell's Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw motorcycle gang' is a gonzo-journalistic piece written by Thompson as a piece on the characters and activities of the Hell's Angel MC. It is very well written and very entertaining.

Nineteen Eighty-Four is a really good book as it explores a dystopian England, named 'Airstrip 1' throughout the novel. It follows the story of Winston Smith who challenges the Socialist party's ideologies and social standards. He fails to conform to society and instead tries to discover a world outside the boundaries of his own, leading to his demise.
V for VendettaV for Vendetta is a gripping book about a masked man by the name of V. For me this book has an interesting plot and keeps me entertained throughout the novel. The hidden identity of V leaves me, the reader, on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend this book.
V For VendettaThe book is interesting as it is a graphic novel and allows the reader to physically see the scenes. The plot is occasionally difficult to follow, but generally understandable, and it focuses on the idea of personal accountability and freedom. Overall, it is a engaging story and a good read.
The Rosie project is a human interest novel exploring the relationships of a socially challenged man and his search the find a wife.

The book I am reading currently is the Feynman lectures on physics. I would highly recommend for anyone who enjoys sciences or even just a new way of looking at the world. It is the most incredible set of explanations of the basic principles of physics by the most infectiously charming and lucid teacher of it. It has a great conversational tone and is thereby quite readable.
