But looking back those were the glorious years of our lives. We were just building the base for our future years and didn’t get lost in the race of life. When the going gets tough we think, “What wouldn’t we give up to go back there”? Lucky for us the world of books allows us to glimpse into those wonderful days we spent.

1 To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee
The most unforgettable novel from our school days. A timeless classic set in the sleepy Alabama town of Maycomb during the period of great depression (1929-1939). It teaches various important lessons in a subtle tone. Atticus Finch one of the main protagonists takes a courageous stand against racism and decides to fight a battle for a wrongly convicted person. Scout, Jem, and Dill provide a comic relief in rather busy and scary circumstances. It often reminds the good old days we once spent on summer vacations and school days
1 Harry Potter Series – J.K. Rowling
We boarded the Hogwarts Express along with Harry Potter and his friends in 1997 and reached our destination only in 2007. J.K. Rowling managed to keep us hooked for 10 years (not including the movie world). The magical school world of Harry made our school days extra special. It is a total package from our favorite teacher to the least favorite and the friends we make for life and the way our dreams shape up into reality. Our school life is simply “mischief managed”
1The Adventures of Tom Sawyer – Mark Twain
Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn, precocious twelve-year-old children out in the world for adventure. This book is a great American classic. The boys are adventurers, dreamers, tricksters in simple they sum up the phase of “Boyhood”. The trouble makers keep us laughing and guessing what their antics will lead to. This book reminds people of the hay days often.
1The Great Gatsby – F. Scott Fitzgerald
A great classic from the jazz age, a perfect
look into the 1920’s in America. The Great Gatsby showcases his world through
his rose tinted glasses but behind those glasses he goes through every emotion
a normal human being does. He is a dreamer and he is relatable to every teen
who looks forward to a life with no struggle and only celebrations. The novel
eventually shatters the tinted glass and sees right through deception.
1 Jane Eyre by Charlotte
Bronte
The story is set in the Victorian era and it
is a perfect thriller. It has probably one of the most unimaginable twists and
turns. The novel though set in the 19th century it has some
progressive thoughts for the age. The tale has a balance of love, suspense,
thriller and laughter perfectly balanced. The title character Jane Eyre,
despite going through so much in life still shows perseverance and the will to
move forward. It is a classic read.
Read them and get the glimpse of the world we once lived in. Pass it on to the younger generation to let them see the world they live, through a different glass.
