<p>I want to read some books this summer that will make me become a deeper thinker and inspire my essays. Can anyone give me some recommendations?</p>
<p>Honestly, anything that suits you.</p>
<p>It doesn’t have to be a philosophical, it doesn’t have to be fictional, it can be whatever your heart desires. </p>
<p>You become a better writer when you discover you. The only way you can do that is by reading what you want to read, not books that you think will transform you into the second coming of Pluto.</p>
<p>I am an extremely avid reader and I’ve read quite a collection of novels this year that I absolutely fell in love with.</p>
<p>The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger
The Crucible by Arthur Miller
1984 by George Orwell
Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
Candide by Voltaire</p>
<p>These are all fantastic and very thought provoking novels that I absolutely assure that you will love. Plus, a vast majority of these novels are classics that you should be well associated with (Assuming you haven’t already read them).</p>
