The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
Genres: Fiction, Drama.
It's been a while since I've read this book, but it's still one of my personal favorites and i will always recommend it. This book is well written in every sense of the word, be it the character development or the words chosen to describe certain situations in the book.
P.s Just check out the book, I suck at writing reviews.

Well the book is set in 1970's Afghanistan, it's about two best friends, and how one wrongs another and then later on in the book tries to redeem himself for it by trying to find his friend's son and taking care of him.
Tbh it's a lot more than this, but i really dont want to give spoilers unless you want them.
Book : Life after life Author : Kate Atkinson Genres : Humour, Alternate History, Historical Fiction.
Review: Even though I haven't completely read this book, but I suggest for people that read historical fiction and enjoy reading alternate history, its like alternate universe but not really. This book is a pretty good take on historical era that it deals with and doesnt just focus on history but also the lives of the characters in detail, to the point that you sometimes get jealous of the main character because she was able to live her life again and again until she got it right or until she fulfilled her purpose, the purpose she was supposed to deal, or whether she decides not the deal with that purpose and live selfishly, and only for herself. All in all it was beautifully described and worded, so give this novel a try even if you havent read historical fiction before. I bet this novel could get you into historical fiction!
Book Blurb:
What if you could live again and again, until you got it right?
On a cold and snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd is born to an English banker and his wife. She dies before she can draw her first breath. On that same cold and snowy night, Ursula Todd is born, lets out a lusty wail, and embarks upon a life that will be, to say the least, unusual. For as she grows, she also dies, repeatedly, in a variety of ways, while the young century marches on towards its second cataclysmic world war.
Does Ursula's apparently infinite number of lives give her the power to save the world from its inevitable destiny? And if she can - will she?
Welcome to the terrifying world of Calculus, where numbers haunt you, and derivatives creep up like shadows in the night. Imagine opening the book, and before you know it, you're staring down a slope, trembling at the thought of limits approaching infinity. This isn't your typical high school math class—oh no—this is the stuff of nightmares.
Our protagonist, a naïve student who simply wanted to learn about curves and motion, soon finds themselves trapped in an endless loop of integration by parts, their sanity slowly unraveling as partial derivatives twist their mind into knots. Every time they think they've solved the equation, a sinister chain rule pops up from the shadows, whispering, “You forgot this term...”
But it doesn’t end there. As you dive deeper into this literary horror, you’ll encounter the truly monstrous figures: Euler, Leibniz, and Riemann. Together, they construct a terrifying maze of theorems and unsolvable integrals. Can the protagonist escape with their GPA intact, or will they be consumed by the infinite limits, forever wandering in the purgatory of unfinished problem sets?
At its core, Calculus is a spine-chilling thriller that toys with your mind, making you question everything you thought you knew about simple algebra. Much like the best psychological horrors, it starts off slow, lulling you into a false sense of security, only to hit you with a second-order differential equation that knocks the breath out of your soul.
𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐛: What if every mistake you made in Calculus dragged you deeper into an abyss, a world where infinity isn't just a number, but a realm of eternal suffering? Step into the horror that is Calculus—and be prepared to lose your limits... and your sanity.
