Because of school, most people read a book at least once in their life. Most of the time, students do not like to read these books and feel forced. Half the time, the books aren't even aligned with their interests. However, the thing most people do not know is that there are an endless number of books out there. There is something for everyone, but it can be hard to actually find what that is. These are the top five genres of books for high school students.
If you are into a murder mystery, spy stuff, and just mystery in general, then these are the books for you:
The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
The next genre of books is fantasy, where the unrealistic and magical make reading that much more fun:
Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
The name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
Adventure books are very popular. Getting lost in other people's stories, following their journeys, and just feeling like you are exploring their travels and adventures is what is so appealing about this genre:
The Odyssey by Homer
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
Moby-Dick by Herman Melville
The books that most people know and love are the classics. These are the books everyone knows and are extremely popular:
Battle Royale by Koushun Takami
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Now the final genre is romance. These are the heartwarming love stories that, yes, make some people sick. But, most of the time, if you give them a chance, you'll end up falling in love with the characters and the story:
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin
The Fault in our Stars by John Green
The Duff by Kody Keplinger
I really hope that you find something that sparks your interest and makes you love reading.
