Finding your first book might be boring and confusing since you are unsure which one to read first. There are two reasons why this happens; first, you have no idea what genre you are interested in or how to read it, and second, your English is okay okay, and not strong enough. Well, In the first place, it happens to every reader. To help you solve your problem, I've compiled a list of five books you should read if you're a beginner or simply want to fill the time. Considering I don't know what genre you like or what interests you more, I've included novels from several genres. I wrote about the author (in case you're curious about who wrote this amazing book), a little about the book (what you'll read and what it's about), genre (everyone has a different interest), and the best quote ( from the book which I personally like).

The lavish parties are an attempt to integrate into her world. Gatsby is more fascinated with Daisy than in love with her, and he is doing all he can to get her to fall in love with him.

Author-  Robert T. Kiyosaki is an investor, entrepreneur, and educator whose views on money and investment contradict common thinking. He has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people all across the world think about money. Robert has earned a reputation for straight-talking, sarcasm, and daring in conveying his point of view on why 'ancient' advice - find a pretty decent job, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify - is 'bad' (both outdated and flawed) advice. His book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" is an international best-seller that has led the New York Times bestsellers list for more than six years.
Book-Is there anyone out there who wants to be an entrepreneur? This one is dedicated to you! As the name says, there are two dads.

In the book, Robert T. Kiyosaki describes how both of these men influenced his views on money, investment, and finances. The book debunks the misconception that becoming rich requires a high income and shows the difference between working for money and having money work for you. If you're a newbie, put this one on your to-do list. If you're interested in finances, this book may teach you a lot. It's also a good book to read.
Genre- Personal finance
Best Quote- “In school, we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk.”
