While there are indeed millions of books published 5 stand out from the rest making them a must read. Following are the top 5 books to read before you die.
5) Charlotte Bronte's masterpiece Jane Eyre comes in at number 5. Jane Eyre is about a plain faced, always honest, orphan girl. This book covers the many aspects of Jane's life starting with her childhood spent at her cruel aunt and cousins' home then later her experiences with school and friends then her time as a governess at Thornfield Manor. The book then covers her time spent with the Rivers family and then covers her time spent reuniting with her one true love. Jane Eyre, although plain and oft times discouraged and neglected, pulls through and makes a life out of the trials and tribulations that try to pull her down. Filled with heartache and destruction yet hope and fulfillment this book is perfect for the young or old, man or woman. Although written many years ago, Jane Eyre has proven to stand the test of time and capture each readers thorough attention and imagination even at this present day and age.
4) Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Many, many people don't like this book yet I found it to be pretty inspirational and thought provoking. Lord of the Flies is about a group of British boys who get deserted on an isolated island when their plane crashes. Between learning how to survive and getting along the boys have many challenges to face and overcome. The essence of this book is about the fight between good and evil. Two leaders rise to the challenge (Ralph and Jack) and many of the boys have to choose who they will follow. One is evil yet another is good. This book was written during the Cold War. Detailing how men can so easily fall into savagery and evil is the point blank message that Lord of the Flies tries to send out to its readers.
