What are the best books with a good story?

I would recommend 'The Lord of the Rings' by J.R.R. Tolkien. It has an epic story of Frodo's journey to destroy the One Ring. The world - building is amazing, and there are so many great characters like Gandalf and Aragorn. 'Harry Potter' series by J.K. Rowling also fits. It's about a young wizard's adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, full of magic, friendship, and battles against the dark forces. 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho is a great choice too. It's a story of a shepherd boy's journey to find his personal legend.

I think 'Jane Eyre' is an excellent one. The relationship between Jane and Mr. Rochester is full of depth. Jane is an independent and strong - willed woman, and their love overcomes many obstacles. Another good one is 'Call Me by Your Name' which has a beautiful and bittersweet love story set in Italy.

Some of the best story books in 2017 include 'The Power' by Naomi Alderman. It's a thought - provoking story that explores gender dynamics in a unique way.

For beginners, 'Writing Down the Bones' by Natalie Goldberg is a good start. It encourages you to just start writing and find your voice. Another one is 'Zen in the Art of Writing' by Ray Bradbury. It gives some basic yet important ideas about storytelling. And 'Elements of Style' by William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White helps with the fundamentals of writing which are crucial for telling a good story.

The 'Harry Potter' series by J.K. Rowling is also excellent. It's a magical adventure filled with friendship, courage, and the battle between good and evil. The world - building is extraordinary, and you get completely immersed in the story of Harry and his friends at Hogwarts.

One of the best books on story is 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It tells a complex and tragic love story set against the backdrop of the Jazz Age, with richly drawn characters and a beautifully crafted narrative that explores themes like wealth, class, and the American Dream.

Another good one is 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen. It's a classic love story set in the 19th - century English society. The relationship between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy is complex and interesting. Austen's writing is witty and her description of the society and its norms adds depth to the good story.

One of the best books with a great story is 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee. It tells the story of Scout Finch growing up in a racially divided town in the South. The story is full of lessons about justice, morality, and human nature. Another is 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It's a story of love, wealth, and the American Dream set in the 1920s. And 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen is also wonderful. It follows the relationship between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, filled with social commentary and romance.

Another one is 'All the Bright Places' by Jennifer Niven. It follows the relationship between Violet and Finch, two teens dealing with their own mental and emotional struggles. Their love is a journey of discovery, both of themselves and each other, set against the backdrop of beautiful and sometimes dark places.

Another good one might be 'The Royal We' by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan. It's a fictionalized take on the relationship between Prince William and Kate Middleton, filled with charm, humor, and of course, a love story that many could relate to.
