Can you recommend a few from the list of best novel books?

Sure. 'The Hunger Games' trilogy by Suzanne Collins. In this series, Katniss has to survive in a brutal arena where she's pitted against other tributes. It's a fight for life in a very dangerous and controlled environment. Another is 'Alas, Babylon' by Pat Frank, which shows how a small town tries to survive after a nuclear war.

Well, 'Origin' by Dan Brown was also a best - seller in 2017. It's a thriller that follows symbologist Robert Langdon as he tries to solve a mystery related to human origin. It has all the elements that Dan Brown is known for - fast - paced action, historical references, and mind - boggling puzzles.

Sure. 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is a great choice. It gives a view of the racial tensions in the American South in the 1930s. Then there's 'The Red Tent' which is set in biblical times and focuses on the female experience. Another good one is 'The Other Boleyn Girl' which delves into the Tudor court and the relationship between Mary and Anne Boleyn.

Sure. 'The Kite Runner' is a great choice. It takes us to Afghanistan and shows the changing country over time, with themes of friendship and redemption.

Sure. 'Hyperion' by Dan Simmons is a great pick. It has a fascinating story structure with different characters' tales woven together. Each character's story is unique and full of mystery and science - fictional elements.

I would also recommend 'Foundation' by Isaac Asimov. This series focuses on psychohistory, a fictional science that predicts the future of large populations. Asimov's ideas about society, technology, and the long - term development of civilization are truly remarkable in this work.

Sure. 'The City We Became' by N. K. Jemisin is a great pick. It's a unique urban fantasy that uses New York City as a character itself. It has a diverse cast and explores themes like gentrification, cultural identity, and the power of a city.

Sure. 'The Ministry for the Future' by Kim Stanley Robinson. It's a thought - provoking book that deals with climate change and possible solutions in a fictional future. It's a great read for those interested in environmental and future - related topics.

A third book could be 'The Lost Symbol' by Dan Brown. It continued his trend of writing fast - paced, mystery - filled novels with lots of historical and symbolic references. The story is set in Washington D.C. and follows the adventures of Robert Langdon as he tries to solve yet another mystery.

Sure. 'La La Land: The Novel' was on the list. It was based on the popular movie and allowed readers to further explore the world and characters of the film.
