Answer:
1.- On The Road
So, I read this during an interesting time in my life- I had just quit a sport I had put four years of time into, washing hours of hard work down the drain. After quitting football, I was aimless; My dream throughout high school was to be that athlete, and it didn’t work out. One day, I opened up Jack Kerouac’s On The Road. The prose was infectious with energy, the characters reminded me of myself, trekking from New York to San Francisco to Denver and back again, seemingly with no object or motive other than to go. The beatnik ideology struck me, and still does. Kerouac has a unique writing style that makes you forget that it’s just a book. The ending was fairly powerful for me as well: “I think of Dean Moriarty, I even think of old Dean Moriarty, the father we never found. I think of Dean Moriarty.”
2.- The Great Gatsby
One of the few teacher-assigned books I actually enjoyed, Fitzgerald’s writing style makes this book just as much as the plot itself. I haven’t seen as powerful writing as the last page of Gatsby, encapsulating the themes and symbols of the novel into one great, powerful ending, the ending basically ending up being my inspiration to start writing. You also get a nice look into the lifestyle of the 20’s, the good and the bad of that time period.
3.- The Stranger
My first legitimate reading of philosophy, this is a really well written book and a good introduction into Camus’ works and absurdism. I connected with the theme of being crucified if you didn’t conform to what society wants you to be. That’s not to say conformity is some big, bad evil that we should stray away from, To not be afraid of criticizing outdated constructs of society is what I got out of it.
4.- The Idiot
Dostoevsky is a really, really good novelist. He tends to ramble a bit, and specifically in The Idiot, he takes on some odd viewpoints on the Catholicism, but his writing on life and religion is so poetic. You also get a look into Dostoevsky the man, with Prince Myshkin, the main character of the book, going into the psyche of a man who was 5 minutes away from execution, only to be given a reprieve before he is killed, a scene very similar to what Dostoevsky experienced before being sent to Siberia. Some of my favorite passages come from this book and I particularly empathize with the themes.
5.- War and Peace
Called the greatest novel of all time by many and called the “Russian Iliad” by Ivan Goncharov, it is a flawed but great novel. It is a narrative of tremendous scope, going over many characters, cities and countries, revolving around Russian aristocracy and the Napoleonic wars. It was more philosophical essay than traditional novel though, with the last 50 pages of War and Peace not naming any characters- the book ends on Tolstoy concluding his criticism on how history is recorded and the incessant focus of generals and leaders in war rather than the army themselves. I was immersed far more in the narrative itself of Pierre, Andrey, Nikolay and Natasha than Tolsty’s criticisms though, so this ending was disappointing for me. Still, War and Peace gets the nod for me as one of my favorite plot lines in literature.
