<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett</h2>

<p class="has-text-align-justify">Beckett’s play, Waiting for Godot, is a masterpiece of absurdist fiction. Practically nothing happens in the play, and the characters don’t develop. Their hope for a meaningful life results in the absurdity the play encompasses, the hope never arriving and the plot not escalating. This work is a definitive must-read for those interested in absurdist theory and fiction.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Hitchhiker book series by Douglas Adams</h2>

<p class="has-text-align-justify">Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a Nobel laureate and has won several awards for his groundbreaking works of magical realism. The novel is set in an imaginary town of Macondo and is multi-generational in its subject matter. Relying on repetition, mysticism and homonyms that characterizes the characters and the plot, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a class apart when it comes to fictional writings.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://yodoozy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/best-quirky-books5-min.jpg" alt="7 Best Quirky Books That You Need To Add To Your TBR!" class="wp-image-24272"/></figure>



<p class="has-text-align-justify">Ella Minnow Pea is an epistolary novel(a novel in letters) set on an imaginary island off the South Carolina coast. The eponymous protagonist, Ella Minnow Pea, is a young 18-year old who fights a council that is trying to ban certain letters of the alphabet. This book is delightfully enchanting in its narrative and transports us to a utopian world that is now being messed with.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Strange Library by Haruki Murakami</h2>

<p class="has-text-align-justify">Even though this novella by Murakami is for children, we have enjoyed it just as much as adults. The protagonist, a child, is imprisoned by a sheep man in a local library that the former visited only to get something to read. This little book is one of our favourites. Let’s read it and hope that the sheep man doesn’t eat our brains that will be “nice and creamy with knowledge” !</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert ; Louis Stevenson</h2>

<p class="has-text-align-justify">First published in 1886, this Gothic novella has been a favourite for over a century now. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is about a London legal practitioner, Gabriel John Utterson, who’s investigating the strange occurrences between his friend, Dr.<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Jekyll_and_Mr._Hyde_(character)"> Jekyll</a> ;and the evil Hyde. The novella was such a hit that the phrase &#8220;Jekyll and Hyde&#8221; has come to mean persons with an unpredictably dual nature: outwardly ;<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good">good</a>, but sometimes shockingly ;<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil">evil</a>.</p>
