One highly recommended science fiction book is 'Dune' by Frank Herbert. It has a complex and immersive world-building with its desert planet Arrakis and the valuable spice. Another is '1984' by George Orwell. It's a dystopian science fiction that warns about totalitarian regimes and surveillance. 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams is also great. It's a humorous take on space travel and the meaning of life.

There's also 'In the Ring'. This book is all about a boxer's journey from being a nobody to a champion. It has some really interesting characters aside from the boxer himself, like his trainer who has his own backstory and motives. It's a great exploration of the boxing world.

The book tells the story of two boys at the school, Elwood and Turner, and the horrors they face.

Another is 'The Nightingale' by Kristin Hannah, which focuses on two sisters in France during World War II. It shows their different ways of resistance against the Nazis.

I highly recommend 'The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle' by Stuart Turton. It's a mystery - thriller with a unique time - loop concept that keeps you on your toes. 'A Column of Fire' by Ken Follett is also great. It's a historical fiction that continues the Kingsbridge series and is full of political intrigue and complex characters. And 'The Alice Network' by Kate Quinn, which is set during World War I and II and tells the story of female spies.

I really liked 'Educated' by Tara Westover. It's a memoir but has elements of fiction in how she tells her story. It's about a girl growing up in a very strict and isolated family in Idaho. She overcomes many obstacles to get an education. It's an inspiring and eye - opening read.
