Red Rising is a very exciting science fiction story about a future human civilization on Mars. The society is divided by color, with Red being the lowest class, usually working in mines beneath the surface of the planet, and living their whole lives without ever leaving.  The Golds are the ruling class, and take advantage of the Reds' work and live extravagant, lavish lives on the surface. Darrow, the main character, eventually joins the Red resistance and goes undercover as a Gold to try to make things more equal for the Reds and the other classes of society.  But will they discover him??

Anyone who enjoys science fiction, adventure, or even stories about revolutions would like Red Rising.  I highly recommend it!

The Giver is the first of a series of four books. The community in the book entered into a state of "sameness" many years ago, which eliminated all agency, diversity, and uniqueness. One person in the community, The Receiver, holds all the memories from before sameness to guide the community. When Jonas, a young 12 year old boy, is chosen to be the new Receiver, he is trained and given memories. Will Jonas be able to handle the truth about the past and his community?

A reader who enjoys utopian and science fiction will enjoy this book because it is about a futuristic society that is 'perfect' and more advanced in almost every way, but without technology (because it was written in the 1930's).

Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is a memoir written by Yale Professor Amy Chua, who describes the story of raising her two daughters strictly using universally influential Chinese parenting. Enter Louisa (nicknamed Lulu) and Sophia, who played violin and piano. Practicing incessantly and obtaining the role of concertmaster/Carnegie Hall respectively, a rebellious and questioning (according to Chua, ‘western’) side begins to emerge in both of them, asking the much debatable question - is Chinese parenting necessarily the best? By the end, you’ll definitely have the answer like I did, with moments that will make you laugh, think hard, and which you can eventually use to expand on a greater truth about human nature.

A reader who enjoys getting to learn about different experiences and critical thinking would definitely love this book because of the debatable, yet extremely interesting, story, and also because of some of the hidden symbolism that you may not notice with a first read. Overall, I think any reader would enjoy this, because of a real story - these kids aren’t superhumans from another planet. They’re just like you and me, something that I kept in mind every time I closed the book!

Hope you enjoy this read like I did!

The Paper Menagerie is a collection of short stories written by Ken Liu; these stories are in no particular order, and may seem like radically different science and historical fiction tales at first, but have connecting morals and symbolism (if you hunt for hidden puzzle pieces in the book, it can provide for an excellent re-read). There are several stories to choose from - The Bookmaking Habits of Select Species takes you on a fictional joyride through parts of the Universe, excitingly examining how many species ‘make books’ and pass information on to further generations. Things take a darker, more shocking turn in The Literomancer, where a Chinese-American girl with parochial views meets a man near a Taiwanese camp in the 1960, not knowing his Communist background. An Advanced Reader's Picture Book of Comparative Cognition, no matter how strange it seems, is a father's way of teaching his son about love - all, of course, while the Earth is dying (Liu had to, right?). So, what exactly are the “morals and symbolism” behind this? That’s for you to find out.

A reader who enjoys plunging into short science-fiction, historical-fiction, and mythical stories would love this book because of how easily you are sucked into an extremely detailed spiel, and also because of the several aliens, solar sails, samurai, black holes and moving origami (in short - really cool beans)! If you’re a scavenger of hidden details, philosophies, and symbolism - you’re in luck, because as mentioned, there’s a lot of that in store as well.

Enjoy reading these!

Siddhartha, by Hermann Hesse, is a read about a young man and his spiritual journey, and how the people he met and the places he went to affected his heresies and behavior in so many ways. The novel takes place during the time of Gotama Buddha and his enlightenment; the plot revolving around that event. Enter Siddhartha - a boy who is thought of very highly by family, friends, and community alike, but is very cynical and curious about his surroundings and the meaning of life. His desires to become a Samana, or a wandering ascetic, worry his parents due to the amounts of patience and sacrifice required, but ultimately, Siddhartha’s quest for peace pushes him and his friend Govinda into following the Samana ways. They end up leaving home, but separate when Govinda discovers the Buddha and his practices; none end up becoming Samanas. Siddhartha follows his own path and meets new people - a merchant, a woman, a ferryman, even Govinda shows up - and his thoughts and change of perspective on love, foolishness, suicide, and religion provide for an incredible read. I won’t talk about the rest of the book, as Siddhartha's final decision - a culmination of his many thoughts - truly is amazing.

A reader who enjoys simple yet eye-opening books, historical fiction, or just a short, two-sitting read would like this book because of an interesting story (with interesting characters too) that is short and smart, that also teaches a lesson at the end - the whole story is about finding true peace in life, amidst mixed opinions about meditation, religion, and the modern concept of ‘the good life’ which many have come to terms with.

Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline, is a science fiction brimming with so many pop culture references and Easter Eggs that even after the six years of its release, Cline says fans haven't found all of them! The story is set on our dying Earth in the year 2044, where 18-year-old Wade Watts spends almost all of his time in the OASIS, a virtual reality headset, that allows him to live in a universe full of planets based off of video games, music, and television of the 80s. One day, when the creator of the headset dies, he leaves his extravagant wealth - and control of his company - in one 'Easter Egg' hidden inside OASIS. Several 'gunters' (truncated 'egg hunters') begin deeply analyzing clues and hints given by the creator, for over five years. And when Wade, known as Parzival in-game, finally deciphers the first clue, the race begins; this lands Wade with other intelligent players, and also a lucrative, super evil company hellbent on obtaining that fortune. What happens next? Perfect Pac-Man scores, Stargates, DJ wizards with zero-grav dancefloors, antimatter bombs, and even Mechagodzilla. You heard that last one right.

A reader who enjoys science-fiction, adventure and pop-culture will love this book because of the diverse, rich, and ultimately relatable references that each page of the book is full of. Regardless of your age or knowledge on the topics and several cool games, music, and shows, there will be something to explore, learn and laugh at for everybody. It also teaches valuable lessons about friendship, love, and how to beat a game of Joust more easily.

I hid a reference in this post, actually. Can you find it?

The main character has a way of making everything, no matter how good or bad, seem dark and atrocious even when he tries to look at the bright side of life. It's also a short read with relatively easy vocabulary that has you entertained from the first sentence.
