10 Best Fiction Books

My top 10 best fiction books that have had the greatest impact on me, my work, my worldview, and my life in general.

About fiction books

Even though I read fiction much less than anything else, I think it’s an important part of our lives.

Such books allow us to look at life from a different angle and to see everyday problems from a new perspective, which sometimes leads to quite useful insights.

Fiction also has the ability to inspire action and immerse us in different cultures and time periods. All of this ultimately broadens our world view and makes us more educated and well-rounded.

Below is a list of the best fiction books in my opinion. The order of these books in the list is not important. So you can choose and read the books in any order you like.
