The Stranger is a short but powerful novel written by Albert Camus, first published in 1942. It tells the story of a man named Meursault, who seems emotionally distant and disconnected from the world around him.
The story begins with the death of Meursault’s mother. Unlike most people, he does not cry or show sadness. This shocks others and makes them judge him. Later in the story, he gets involved in a violent situation and kills a man. During his trial, the court focuses more on his cold personality than the actual crime. In the end, he is sentenced to death. The book ends with Meursault accepting his fate, realizing that life has no clear meaning — and that’s okay.
The main theme of the novel is “absurdism” – the idea that life is often without meaning and humans must accept this without relying on religion or traditional beliefs. Camus shows that people are sometimes punished not for what they do, but for not behaving the way society expects.
I would only recommend The Stranger to people who are really interested in existential philosophy, or who want to read something different and challenging. If you like fast-paced stories, strong emotions, or realistic characters, this book may not be the right choice.

As Mr Clear said this book teaches us about how to build new habits, how to keep them stable, what are the tiny steps we can do to become the person we are seeking for, how to talk to ourselves in order to believe in ourselves...
Each chapter starts with real examples of the people who have been in that situation related to the topic of each chapter.
I personally enjoyed this book because I have been trying to use Mr. Clear's insights
He mentions "It's remarkable the knowledge you can build if you don't stop learning."
"Disciplined" people are better at structuring their lives in a way that does not require heroic willpower and self-control"
For instance, he suggests leaving your phone in a different room until lunch, which is something I have started doing as well.
Additionally, he notes, "We are more likely to repeat the behavior when the experience is satisfying."
The most important takeaway for me as a reader is to utilize the knowledge I've gained, share it with others, and teach it to those around me. I always start with my family and partner, and I find that when I do, I reinforce my own understanding even more. So, dear reader, I encourage you to start this magical book and believe in its wisdom!

James Clear Atomic HabitsI recently listened to the audio version of '1984,' and it left a profound impact on me. The themes of power and oppression resonated deeply, making me reflect on how those in authority often show their dominance by irritating and torturing their own people.
As a twenty-year-old woman, I realize there is so much more for me to learn from this book. I feel the need to read it again to better understand the world around me and the complexities of human behavior in the face of totalitarianism.
They say that to truly grasp something, one must revisit it multiple times, and I believe this is especially true for '1984.' I look forward to diving back into its pages and uncovering new insights that will help me navigate my understanding of society and power dynamics.

The Stoner by John Williams, it is lovely to go through ups and downs of Stoner's life as an English professor from the start of his journey till the end
If you are interested in American English literature
This book can help you in your reading and writing (especially the English students) and the love which is going on in the story makes you more interested in reading, so you won't get tired I guarantee that :)
Just in case my partner is also reading the same book so I can't wait to see his point of view
These are some parts which I chose from the book:
He said slowly, "you must remember what you are and what you have chosen to become, and the significance of what you are doing.
These are wars and defeats and victories of the human race that are not military and that are not military and that are not recorded in the annals of history remember that while you're trying to decide what to do."
In his forty-third year old William Stoner learned what others, much younger had learned before him: that the person one loves at first is not the person one loves at last, and that love is not an end but a process through which one person attempts to know another.
