Book Recommendations

I thought I would tell you about my favorite books and recommend them to you! One of my favorite books is A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. I read this book in the fall. It is one of my favorites because I feel like we can learn a lot about society and morality from it. It is a dystopian books about a criminal, named Alex, and his group of "droogs"(criminals). He gets betrayed by his group and arrested and the government tries to "cure" him of his violent ways. It really makes the reader think, "how far is too far?" I think it is a very interesting plot and makes the reader think about many different things. Also, the book is told from the point of view of Alex, which puts an interesting twist on the story since you get to see it from the criminal's eyes. It makes you think, "is Alex really a criminal, or is he a victim?" I recommend this book to anyone who likes classic literature. I think this is a book everyone should read at one point of their lives, but people who enjoy literature will like it and understand it the most.
Another one of my favorite books is The Road by Cormac McCarthy. This is a story about a boy and his dad traveling on a long road in a post-apocalyptic world. Their home was destroyed and they have to decide where to go next. It may seem like a boring book, but the things that you see them go through are very intriguing. The book also has interesting syntax. There are no quotation marks used, even when a character is speaking. I think this makes the books a lot more interesting, because it can show that even though they are talking, there is no one out there and no one can really hear them. The kind of things the father and son go through are very emotional and help bring them closer together in this world. They have to decide what is the farthest they will go for their survival. I recommend this book if you like books that have strong emotional content. This book about a father and his son experiencing a post-apocalyptic book may not sound so emotional, but the interactions between them and other people are really emotional. This is one of my favorites because of how emotional it is.
