Reading is one of my favorite hobbies, and I always make sure to take notes while reading to help me remember important points and quotes. Here are 9 selected book notes that I have compiled:
1. "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.
This classic novel explores themes of racism and injustice in the American South. One of the most memorable quotes from the book is "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
2. "1984" by George Orwell.
This dystopian novel paints a bleak picture of a totalitarian society where freedom is nonexistent. One of the most chilling quotes from the book is "Big Brother is watching you," which serves as a warning about the dangers of surveillance and government control.
3. "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
This novel captures the glamour and excess of the Jazz Age in America. One of the most famous quotes from the book is "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past," which reflects the idea of striving for a better future while being weighed down by the past.
4. "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen.
This classic romance novel explores themes of love, class, and social expectations. One of the most iconic lines from the book is "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife," which sets the tone for the story.
5. "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger.
This coming-of-age novel follows the rebellious teenager Holden Caulfield as he navigates the challenges of growing up. One of the most memorable quotes from the book
is "I'm quite illiterate, but I read a lot," which captures Holden's complex character and his struggles with phoniness in the adult world.
6. "To the Lighthouse" by Virginia Woolf.
This modernist novel explores themes of time, memory, and the complexities of human relationships. One of the most poignant quotes from the book is "What is the meaning of life? That was all—a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark."
7. "Beloved" by Toni Morrison.
This powerful novel tells the story of Sethe, a former slave haunted by the memories of her past. One of the most haunting quotes from the book is "Definitions belong to the definers, not the defined," which speaks to the idea of reclaiming one's own identity and narrative.
8. "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy.
