Do not know which book to read? Refer to the list.

The famous edition of the Daily Telegraph put forward a version that anyone who, talking to any interlocutor, queen or taxi driver, would like to flash education and erudition, should read only 110 specific works.

To read an interesting book, you need to choose it from many others. For this you need to know the theme and content of the work. In this list 110 works are divided into sections: "Books that changed the world", "Books that changed you", "Classics", "Poetry", "Detectives", etc.

If a person does not know which book to read, he can take a philosophical treatise. One of the books of the first section is Leviathan, a philosophical work by the British thinker of the 17th century Thomas Hobbes, devoted to the study of the origin and problems of the state. Leviathan was a biblical monster, symbolizing the forces of nature, subordinating man to himself. In Hobbes, this powerful image is used to depict state power, a god, but "mortal."

Hobbes creates the theory of the formation of the state, starting from the statements about the presence of people before it emerges "in a state of war against all", which he considers natural, and that "man is a wolf to man."

Being on the verge of extermination, people were forced to give up a number of their rights and freedoms in favor of the state and conclude with it an unofficial social contract, according to which everyone entering it has the right to freely enjoy the remaining rights and freedoms. The powers to regulate relations between citizens for whom his will is law is transferred to the state. Hobbes's theory is clear and understandable, free from superstition, it does not use dubious theoretical concepts, so the philosophy of the philosopher is still relevant.

For a person who has discovered a list of 110 treasured works, the question of which book to read goes away. From the second section, you can take the product of Douglas Adams, whose name was translated in different ways. "A guidebook for travelers on the galaxy hitchhiking" - perhaps, a verbatim and the most accurate translation, although the large-format film version has a brief and more modern version of the title: "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." It is better not to confuse and know what book to read before watching a movie.

It all started with the fact that Arthur Dent, the protagonist of the novel, learns that they are demolishing the house in which he lives. Rushing under the bulldozer, Arthur tries to save his home. They want to destroy the house, because it interferes with the construction of a new high-speed road. From this occupation Arthur distracts his friend Ford Prefect, informing him that he is an alien. In addition, he said that in a few minutes the planet Arthur will be destroyed, because it is located on the site of the construction of a hyper-spatial high-speed way.

A moment before the destruction of the Earth, the friends find themselves on the alien ship of the wagon, the most powerful race. Unable to withstand the torture of the worst of the universal poetry, Arthur and Ford are in outer space, where they are taken by another ship. Friends, joining the company of a two-headed imperial president without authority, another surviving resident of the Earth and an old robot, go in search of the planet Magratha.

If the reader likes a fantastic genre and he does not care which book to read in his spare time, then "Guidebook ..." he should like. This humorous fiction of British Adams has done a lot of noise in its time.

In 1979, according to the edition of the Sunday Times, Douglas Adams's novel "A Guide to Hikers traveling around the galaxy" was recognized as the number one bestseller. And in 24 years, in 2003, from the two hundred best books on the BBC version, the novel took the fourth place.

As for what book to read to the girl, then, firstly, the recommended list is large, there is one to choose from, and secondly, it all depends on its tastes and preferences.
