November Book Recommendations

By Stuti Jain

As November comes to a close, here’s our weekly reading list!

1. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

A passionate, beautifully written (and incredibly quotable) story of all consuming love, Wuthering

Heights is a beautiful gothic novel for anyone who enjoys reading older works.

2. Animal Farm by George Orwell

An absurdly nostalgic, cynical, and satirical drama about a group of animals who run a political

party, Animal Farm is a must read for those who enjoy simple books with profound depth.

3. Nightfall by Issac Asimov

A short science fiction tale filled with metaphor and allusion, Nightfall is a brilliant, plot-driven yet

meaningful piece about a society that lives in total darkness, and their reaction when they come

across light.

4. The Flowers of Evil by Charles Baudelaire

A complex and emotionally rich work rife with intensity, pain, and longing, The Flowers of Evil is

an incredible Symbolist work for anybody who enjoys older poetry and is interested in European

classics!

5. The Dream of a Ridiculous Man by Fyodor Dostovensky

Quite possibly the best short story I’ve ever read, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man is (like all of

Dostovensky’s work), brimming with emotion, is descriptive yet precise with the language, and is

absolutely heart-breaking when you’re done.
