Top 10 Favorite Books
Reading has always been a passion of mine, and over the years, I’ve come across some truly remarkable books that have left a lasting impression. Here’s a list of my top 10 favorite books, in no particular order:
1. Dune by Frank Herbert

A chilling dystopian novel that delves into the dangers of totalitarianism and the loss of individual freedom.
3. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
A tale of love, ambition, and the American Dream set in the roaring 1920s.
4. Wool by Hugh Howey
A gripping post-apocalyptic tale set in a vast underground silo, where secrets and lies challenge the fragile balance of survival and trust.
5. Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

10. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick
A mind-bending sci-fi noir that questions the nature of humanity and consciousness through the story of a bounty hunter pursuing rogue androids in a post-apocalyptic world.
As you can tell a lot of these books have some similar themes like post-apocalypic and dystopian worlds, which I’m not sure what that says about me but there is something about completely flipping reality while also keeping the story grounded in some semblence of could this actually happen entrigues me.
Happy reading! ```
