          5 THESE BEST BOOKS YOU SHOULD READ BY NOW

        Seeing the movie  scene    doesn't count!!! If you         scoop off these  in school,     take a closure and grownup   look.

1. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

We know, it’s long and the Russian names are complicated, but seriously it’s a good book to read: if you can follow thousands of pages of Game of Thrones and the rest of the Ice and Fire series (which we love, by the way) then you can handle the challenge of one of the greatest novels of all time. War and Peace is set in the years before, during, and after Napoleon’s invasion of Russia. Tolstoy brilliantly chronicles the world of a crumbling aristocracy—on the battlefield, in society, and at home.

2. The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Pulitzer Prize-winning author McCarthy is one of our greatest living prose stylists. His post-apocalyptic novel, The Road, in which a father and young son struggle to survive, is made all the more profound by its brevity. It’s a good book to read that’s both quick and stays with you. Intrepid readers undaunted by a more ornate, challenging, Faulknerian style should also read McCarthy’s masterpiece Blood Meridian.

3. The Odyssey by Homer

this one’s technically an epic poem, not a book, but we think it still counts. As an epic poem, The Odyssey was recited, or sung, for years and years before it was written down. It tells the (fictional) story of Ancient Greek war hero Odysseus’s perilous 20-year journey home from the battlefield. He outsmarts a Cyclops, chats with dead people, and endures the repeated wrath of a seriously angry sea god before finally arriving home. The second-oldest known work of Western literature has stood the test of time. The Conn brothers re imagined The Odyssey in the American South in the comedy O Brother, Where Art Thou? starring a young George Clooney. Plus, some of the best scenes in the popular Greek myth-inspired kids’ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians were also inspired by Odysseus’s journey.

4. The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

I think everyone knew about this book. Its a masterclass invention.This fictional, but meticulously researched, thriller will make you wish you paid more attention in art class. A murder at the Louvre museum leads symbologist Robert Langdon on a high-stakes treasure hunt through Europe with the police on his tail. It’s got just the right mix of page-turning action and brainteasing historical information. This is one book that (Tom Hanks’s coolness notwithstanding) is way better than its movie adaptation.  The Da Vinci Code‘s mind-bending “what if” questions will stay with you long after you put it down.

5.  Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

When a rich American businessman is killed on a train, it’s up to detective Hercule Poirot to figure out which of the passengers is responsible. Published in 1934, Murder on the Orient Express‘s conclusion still stuns readers. In 2017, this famous whodunit was made into a hit movie starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Penélope Cruz, Josh Gad, and Judi Dench.
