When people are asked about their favorite books, they usually mention something very popular or classic, like «To Kill a Mockingbird» or «Pride and Prejudice». But there are thousands of other books that have had a huge impact on how we perceive literature today. What book, other than the popular or classic ones, would you choose as your favorite? Why?

If I had to choose a favorite book that is not considered popular or classic, I would choose «The Alchemist» by Paulo Coelho. This book is not only beautifully written, but it also has a profound message about following your dreams and finding your true purpose in life. Throughout the main character’s journey, he learns valuable lessons about life and discovers that the true treasure he was searching for was within himself all along.

One of my favorite books is «The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao» by Junot Diaz. It’s not as well-known as some of the classics, but it’s a powerful and unique novel that explores themes of identity, family, and the immigrant experience. I love the way Diaz weaves together different perspectives and timelines to tell the story of Oscar and his family, and his use of language and pop culture references adds an extra layer of depth to the book. Overall, I think it’s a really important and impactful work of literature that deserves more recognition.
