Can you recommend some good fictional technology books?

For a beginner, I'd recommend 'A Wrinkle in Time' by Madeleine L'Engle. It has elements of time travel and other - worldly technology in a story that's told in a very approachable way. 'Flowers for Algernon' by Daniel Keyes also deals with scientific experiments and the implications of intelligence - enhancing technology in a simple yet profound way. And 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry shows a society where technology is used to control emotions and memories in a way that's easy for new readers to grasp.

Sure. 'The Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett is a great one. It's set in 12th - century England and tells the story of the building of a cathedral. Another is 'Wolf Hall' by Hilary Mantel, which is about Thomas Cromwell in the Tudor court. And 'I, Claudius' by Robert Graves, presenting Roman history through the eyes of Claudius.

Sure. 'The Hunger Games' can be considered as one. In it, there are intense fight scenes where the tributes battle it out in the arena. Another one is 'Eragon', with many sword - fighting and magic - based combat sequences.

Sure. 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen is a great fictional book. It's a classic love story with interesting characters.

Sure. 'The Waves' by Virginia Woolf has some elements that can be related to the idea of surfing, in a more metaphorical sense. It's a complex and beautifully written novel.

There's 'High Fidelity' which has elements related to a fictional music - loving world and bands in a way. It delves into the main character's relationship with music and his own sort of 'fictional' view of the music scene which involves bands.

One excellent fictional regency book is 'The Duke and I' by Julia Quinn. It's part of the Bridgerton series. It's a charming story set in the regency period, full of romance, family drama, and the social mores of that time. The characters are well - developed and the plot is engaging.

One of the best fictional military books is 'For Whom the Bell Tolls'. It tells a fictional story during the Spanish Civil War. It shows the complex relationships among soldiers, the civilians, and the political situation. Also, 'The Forever War' is a great read. It uses a science - fiction setting to explore the nature of war, how it changes people, and the futility of some military actions.

One great fictional mythology book is 'American Gods' by Neil Gaiman. It weaves together various mythologies in a modern - day setting. Another is 'The Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series by Rick Riordan. It brings Greek mythology to life for young readers in an exciting adventure - filled way. Also, 'The Lord of the Rings' by J.R.R. Tolkien has elements of its own created mythology that is both vast and deeply immersive.

One great fictional diary book is 'The Diary of a Young Girl' by Anne Frank. It offers a poignant and real - life account of a young girl's experiences during World War II, even though it's fictionalized in the sense of being her personal diary. Another is 'Bridget Jones's Diary' which is a humorous take on a modern woman's life, her relationships, and her daily struggles. And 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker also has elements of a fictional diary as it contains journal entries that add to the overall atmosphere and narrative of the story.
