From the author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2007) and the Booker-shortlisted Exit West (2017), Hamid borrows a clever conceit from Kafka's Metamorphosis to imaginatively consider race and racism through the character of Anders, a white man living in a small US town, who wakes up one morning to find his skin has turned dark. As Anders begins to face conflict in his life and relationships; and as more and more people follow suit, violence and unrest erupts on the streets. "For a novel that explores the functions and presumptions of racism, The Last White Man is a peculiarly hopeful story," writes The Washington Post. The Last White Man is "a short novel of very long sentences" that is, writes The Guardian, "[a] strange, beautiful allegorical tale… compellingly readable and strangely musical, as if being recounted as a kind of folktale to future generations."

Last Christmas in Paris is a World War I story and a love story told almost entirely through letters and telegrams, with sprinkles of Christmas mixed throughout and penultimate Christmas events at the end.

You have bewitched me body and soul and I love, love, love you." — Jane Austen, 'Pride and Prejudice'

Anne Tyler's 24th novel is "an extraordinarily rich portrait of a family in flux," according to the Evening Standard. "Tyler's set pieces seem undramatic, but her rhythms are masterly." The novel tells the story of the Garrett family across six decades, and like most of Tyler's works, is an ensemble piece that spans the generations, set in Baltimore. The story starts with a lakeside family holiday, where rifts emerge that are largely unvoiced, and that unravel in the lives of each family member as the years progress. It is "thoroughly enjoyable," says the Guardian, "and at this point any Tyler book is a gift". French Braid is "funny, poignant, generous… it suggests there's always new light to be shed, whatever the situation, with just another turn of the prism." (LB) Now in the seventh decade of her remarkable literary career, Margaret Atwood has written her third collection of essays that, says the i newspaper, "brims with enthusiasm and verve". Broadly looking at events of the past two decades, the range of subjects is wide – from censorship and Obama, to #MeToo and zombies. And there are insights into her own craft and the function of fiction. As the i puts it: "Atwood always makes the idea of big questions a little more digestible. You find yourself asking: what can fiction do? What can we do, generally?" The essays are full of a "droll, deadpan humour and an instinct for self-deprecation" says the Guardian. "Atwood remains frank, honest and good company." (LB) I am a book lover and I love reading books. My favorite genre is Motivation. I have read tons of books that have motivational content. Among them some books are amazing. And today I am going to talk about a book that I really like. This book’s name is ‘The Magic of Thinking Big’. The story is fictional and different.

I love other chapters too, but this one seems special to me.

There really hasn’t been a definitive book on the art and science of product marketing, and companies have struggled to bring a strategic approach to the discipline. But now there is! Put simply, I loved LOVED. You will too.” Facebook Marketplace is a classified ads section within the Facebook platform. It was initially launched in 2007 and featured categories such as job opportunities, items for sale, and housing for rent or sale.

The novel has already won two awards in New Zealand, and is now gaining wider praise. "The plot reveals are masterful," says The Guardian. "Auē has done well because it is expertly crafted, but also because it has something indefinable: enthralling, puzzling, gripping and familiar, yet otherworldly." (LB)Much of Nagamatsu's debut novel was completed before 2020, and its themes will strike readers with their prescience. Set in the near-future, a team of scientists in Siberia discover a mummified pre-historic female corpse they name "Annie", which holds a disease that sets off a catastrophic pandemic named "the Arctic Plague". Nagamatsu focuses on the human side of the crisis, leaping forward 6,000 years to reveal a society that has commercialised death, and the long-reaching legacy of past decisions. Expansive and genre-defying, it is told through discrete stories that slowly coalesce. "Like a Polaroid photograph, How High We Go in the Dark takes time to show its true colours. When they finally appear, the effect is all the more dazzling," writes the Guardian. It is, writes the New York Times, "a book of sorrow for the destruction we're bringing on ourselves. Yet the novel reminds us there's still hope in human connections, despite our sadness." (RL) There are so many reasons that are why I like this book. The first reason is it teaches me about life and reality. I get very serious when I read this book. I have read it almost 4 times and am still reading it again.

Told in a series of vignettes, After Sappho reimagines the lives of a group of notable feminists, artists and writers of the past. Among them are Colette, Josephine Baker, Virginia Woolf and Sarah Bernhardt, each of them facing obstacles and battling for liberation and justice. According to the Irish Times, After Sappho "delivers on its own promise with great stylistic power and verve ". The Guardian says:"[With] sentences crisply flat yet billowing easily into gorgeous lyricism... [After Sappho] is a book that's wholly seduced by seduction and that seduces in turn." (LB) The Magic of Thinking Big has been authored by David J. Schwartz. He is an amazing writer and wrote an amazing piece of the book. Before starting any business, you must read this book to grow your mentality. In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." — Jane Austen, 'Pride & Prejudice'Maybe...you'll fall in love with me all over again." "'Hell,' I said, 'I love you enough now.

Described by The Guardian in 2015 as "one of this country's great contemporary novelists," British writer and academic Hadley has been quietly producing works of subtly powerful prose for two decades. Like her recent novels, The Past (2015) and Late in the Day (2019), Free Love – Hadley's eighth – explores intimate relationships, sexuality, memory and grief, through an apparently ordinary-looking suburban family. But, Hadley writes, "under the placid surface of suburbia, something was unhinged." Set amid the culture clash of the late 1960s, the novel interrogates the counterculture's idealistic vision of sexual freedom, in, writes the i newspaper, "a complex tale of personal awakening and a snapshot of a moment in time when the survivors of war were suddenly painted as relics by a new generation determined not to live under their dour and hesitant shadow." NPR writes, "Free Love is a fresh, moving evocation of the dawning of the Age of Aquarius." (RL) generalized educational content about wills.
