Mansfield Park by Jane Austen

And because of Fanny’s grounded nature, kindness, and unwavering principles, characters like Henry Crawford, Sir Thomas, and even Edmund, who faltered due to temptation, changed their views and behaviors.

Historical fiction books like Mansfield Park (historical because we are already in the 21st century) require patience to understand Fanny’s cautious nature. It is unpredictable and nuanced. While Mansfield Park is not one of the bestsellers fiction books of Jane Austen, like Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, it is complicated and courageous. 

The substance of the novel is layered beautifully in the surroundings of Fanny Price’s life, which is a stark and shocking contrast to her simple character and her superior understanding of people’s feelings. And that, readers, is exactly what makes her a Jane Austen heroine. 

To end, Jane Austen is an expert in satirizing the narrow mindset of society that believes that marriage is the ‘ultimate achievement’ for young ladies, as it is associated with good fortune and a position in society. 

It is a must-read by Jane Austen’s fans who can easily understand the humor and sarcasm behind her words and for those who are interested in exploring Bestsellers and fiction books from the 19th century. 

And if you want to read this book, you can buy it from Booksophile, one of the best-selling websites for historical fiction books and online law books.

Escape into a World of Fiction: Our Top Picks for Must-Read Books

Fiction books have always been a popular form of entertainment and escape for readers. From classic literature to contemporary bestsellers, fiction books offer a wide range of stories and genres that can captivate and transport readers to different worlds and perspectives. In this blog post, we will be discussing some of the best-selling fiction books of all time, as well as some of the most popular contemporary bestsellers.

One of the most popular and enduring fiction books of all time is "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. Published in 1813, this classic novel tells the story of the Bennett family and their interactions with upper-class society in early 19th century England. Pride and Prejudice, Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austen’s beloved classic Pride and Prejudice. When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

Another classic novel that has stood the test of time is "The Call of the Wild by Jack London. Published in 1903. The Call of the Wild is the story of a dog in the frozen Yukon told from his point of view. But this brilliantly told tale of a canine hero is in fact a graphic picture of the great gold rush to the Klondike in 1897. Brutal and fierce on one hand, it is also a story of tenderness and loyalty between man and beast and remains one of the best-selling books in American.

Moving on to more recent times, "Paradise Lost: The Greatest Epic Poem by John Milton. Paradise Lost is written in blank verse and was originally published in 10 books in 1667. The second edition was published in 1674 with 12 books (books 7 and 10 each were split into two parts). It was one of the best fiction books of the 17th century. 

Another recent bestseller is "The Sign of the Four by Arthur Conan Doyle. The novel, which was published in 1890, is set in a post-apocalyptic world where children are forced to participate in a brutal annual event called the Hunger Games. The novel explores themes of sacrifice, survival, and rebellion and has sold over 100 million copies worldwide. This thrilling best-selling fiction has all the signatures of Doyle’s writing – a gripping, easy yet difficult, and fast-paced story. Arthur was able to add a lot of things in just a few pages. The story opens with a revelation that Holmes had been heavily dosing himself with cocaine almost three times a day. It was as if he was either injecting drugs or solving cases – there was no in-between. 

The War of the Worlds: A timeless masterpiece by H.G. Wells The War of the Worlds is one of the oldest best fiction books to portray the battle between humans and hostile extraterrestrials.  

This science fiction was written long before books were adapted extensively into feature films, resulting in one of the most realistic and stimulating sci-fi books ever published on extraterrestrials where the content and plot weren’t purposely moulded to suit a film with special effects. 

The World of the Wars by H.G. Wells, first published in 1897, describes events following an uncanny invasion of Martians on our planet Earth. Depressing, inhuman, & crippled monsters land on Earth like meteorites before turning into grotesque fighting machines on tripods.You can buy this book at Booksophile online fiction bookstore. 

These are just a few examples of the many best-selling fiction books that have captivated readers for generations. Whether you're looking for a classic novel or a contemporary bestseller, there is a wide range of fiction books available to suit any taste. So, pick one of the above mentioned books and get ready to lose yourself in a captivating story.

Why Should You Read Old Books?

Your favorite writer just launched another thriller book, but your best friend suggested ordering a world classic, unabridged version from the Booksophile bookselling websites. So, why should you go back in time and order rare, old books from book-selling websites?

This same question was in our minds before we read Paradise Lost, the Call of the Wild, and Beyond Good and Evil.

In an article, Jean-Paul Sartre emphasized that authors shouldn’t think about future generations but write for their own time.

The books of the modern world simply address the challenges of modern life, and that makes it more urgent to read the year’s best books. They not only provide pleasure but also understand 21st-century readers. Not least, you will sleep better knowing that you have done your part to keep up with the current literature and scholars.

While that’s true, we still emphasize people reading old books. Old books are the foundations of learning, gaining familiarity with music, art, and history, and getting acquainted with new languages, cultures, and world literature. These books actually provide the ideas and works that shape human civilization.

So, the question remains, is it important to read old books? Should you order from an old bookstore website?

Yes, not only for the sake of reading but also for developing your vision, for growth, and for improving knowledge. Old books have a personality, and they add to your personality. Today most books are adulterated with dark humor, modern-day chaos, technology, and relationships abuses.

But an old book, particularly the first prints ordered online from book shopping sites like Booksophile, are goldmines for pure literature.

While the main reason for you to read an old book is that you want to read (and it also makes people think that you are smarty-pants), other reasons why you should be reading more books from the previous century are:

They enrich with knowledge before the pre-technology era — knowledge that new books won’t have or may not be presented accurately.

Reading an 18th-century novel is literally traveling through time. You can jump from 2023 to 1550 in a matter of a few minutes. And you get to play each character in the book and visualize how they lived, loved, and learned.

Reading old books take you back to simpler times when things were more than Facetime and creating reels.

Old books give an excellent view of a specific period’s social and political construct and people’s behavior, mentality, culture, and literature of an era gone by. Reading one will give you an idea of how things have affected society and social norms today.

Best Place to Buy Books Online

Reading a book means escaping from reality. Old books are no different. Online book shopping sites like Booksophile have thousands of books from the centuries gone by, written by famous authors like Jack Landon and Jane Austin. You can browse and order books online from one of these bookselling websites.

We recommend Booksophile as one of the best site to buy books online because they assure quality and originality.

Nash proposing to Libby

Hey, guess what? I wrote another fic. Why? Because I have no job.

Disclaimer:

Mentions of Nash Hawthorne, Libby Grambs and Alisa Ortega. Minor cursing.

English is not my first language. I'm sorry if there's any mistakes.

Word count: 9K (IT'S LIKE THE SHORTEST I CAN, OK?!)

While growing up, all Nash craved and dreamed of—whole heartily, soul consuming and passionately— was his grandfather approval. He just wanted to know that he did enough, that he was enough. All the old man lessons he kept in mind, so he would not make any mistakes the next time. Be perfect. Better. Stronger. That's what Tobias always praised. But it didn't take long for him to discover who his grandfather, the man he admired, was. And after that, how could he learn about what being extraordinary really meant from a man who was worse than the devil? The respect slowly started to go away, giving room for the need to stay away from. From his money. His house. His horrific lessons that Nash memorized, who seemed to age like milk in his brain, leaving the dreadful spoiled smell behind. Eventually, he just put in his head that his lectures were full of bullshit that he did not need. But he knew, deep in his soul and heart, that he would never forget one, no matter how much time passed by. It just didn't go away.

5 years later

Nash was 22 years old, and he just came home from a long trip around the country. He tried working at different jobs, since he wouldn't use his grandfather money to keep him alive and under a roof. Tried being a mechanic, because he understood a lot of cars and motorcycles. Chef, since he knew a thing or two about cooking. Worked at Target for a long period, for the reason that he simply liked his costumers. Makeup artist, 'cause why not? At the time, he found it more enthusiastic to work as a bartender, serving all kind of drinks and listening to people's stories. However, he usually had a hard time trying to get a job, since he even refused to use his real last name and had to use a fake ID. Fortunately, he knew how to convince someone that his name really was Nash Ortega. Maybe he could change after his marriage with Alisa. Sure, she was having a bad time accepting the fact that he wanted her to move on from his grandfather and get others clients, but she probably would give in. She loved Nash and already said that she wanted to have a life with him, so there was a high chance that they would make it through. Of course they would. Just because it was a minor argument, that didn't mean they wouldn't work out as a marriage couple. They would, and Nash was more than pleased to state that he couldn't wait any longer to runaway from the billionaire with the love of his life, Alisa. The woman he could only think 24/7. The one he always saw first in the mornings. The one and only he thought about having a family with. His heart pounded faster and harder just at the thought of his new life with his incredible wife. In fact, it beat so fast that it was the only thing he could hear at the quiet tree house. He took a moment to analyze it better. The Hawthornes were know for being magnificent when it came to luxury, always having really expensive and glorious things. Their own house and the others old man's properties were an example of it. But the tree house was out of curve, without anything really rich and embellished. It was like a normal tree house, the magic was on the memories. That's when Nash heard footsteps behind him, too fragile and languidness to belong to any of his brothers. Without turning around, he felt a light but firm hand on his shoulder. “It's beautiful, isn't it?”, the old man asked, and Nash couldn't keep himself from feeling a really pure disgusting feeling of his grandfather. Of everything that he had done. Yet, the Nash that once saw him as a father felt love. “It could be yours, all yours, if you choose to stay with Alisa.” His grandson threw his head back, laughing really hard. “Trying to manipulate me again, Tobias?”, he emphasized his name. No “grandfather” or “old man” for him today. The devil stood still, not appearing offended by his word or apologizing to his grandson. But the secret was that he would never say sorry to any of them—ever. He would die before it. “You're consistent, Nash,” he replied. “Resisting even when I offer you everything. That's what I love about you.” Nash snorted, “We both know that it isn't going to be me.” Tobias looked at Nash's eyes, his expression never giving a hint about his thoughts.

“Maybe you really aren't. But who cares? You decided years and years ago that you hated everything that was related to me, and you've been running away from me since them. And you have the audacity to say in front of my face that I'm manipulating you!”. The old man smiled, amused. “You took a decision years ago and stood with it, without any hesitation.”, he looked at Nash. “That's what you should do if you want to help people. I know you don't want my money, but don't hesitate, Nash. Never hesitate when making decisions to save someone. Be consistent, hard to deal with hesitation.”, he looked away. “If you don't be, the consequences can destroy you completely.” Nash felt like the old man was talking about his own experiences in life, but he didn't give a damn at the time. Or at least pretended to. He wasn't really good at pretending, if everything always came back to haunt him.

——————————————————————————

Looking at the ring he just bought to Libby, this memory came back. Nash wasn't made for hesitation. He always thought about the right decision to make, and he stood with his decision no matter what. It was hard to change his mind. When he broke free from the old man, he was confident about it. When it came to his brothers, he was sure about every single decision. Even when he proposed to Alisa, he was more than certain about it. Of course, he was ignorant enough to think that Alisa would give up on the old man. She didn't, and it was terrifying to think about the things that Tobias did. The things he took away from Nash. But this time he wasn't there, which meant that he couldn't take Libby away. He was hers and this would never change. He was sure about everything that was about her, so why he got so nervous and insecure just by looking at the ring? Probably because he didn't know if she wanted it too. Libby loved Nash, but what if it was too early to take this step? What if it was the wrong kind of ring? What if the place wasn't adequate? And the most horrendous question: what if she wanted it, but not with him? There were so many doubts, and he didn't like to be so. . . Scared. That's it, Libby managed to get him scared. And unsure. But that's what he would find in a marriage life. Sometimes, being married isn't a straight road, and it's definitely not easy and secure. It was more like being in a road full of multiple turns and confused, mysterious and even scary streets. But once the streets are crossed, the rest is lovely. Not easy, but worth it. And Nash was ready for it.

Libby spent her entire life in Connecticut, and now that she had money and a food truck business, she wanted to travel to places that once were only part of an unreachable dream. Like Paris. Nash had the idea, and he planned everything for the two of them: booked a hotel, searched for restaurants that made her favorite foods, localized the most famous places that sold flowers—just in case— and he had every single day planned. Well, at least the second day had to strictly follow the plan.

They arrived late at night in Paris, Nash still feeling terrible from the flight, ate dinner and slept. Nash woke up at 5:00 am, anxiety not letting him sleep for long, and they left at 7:00 am.

The Eiffel Tower. Notre Dame. Palais Garnier. Louvre Museum. Champs-Élysées. Nash took her to visit all these places, loving to see the admiration in her face. He has been to Paris before, therefore there wasn't anything he hasn't seen—at least at the most famous locations. Even though he did not like expensive places, he really wanted to give this experience to Libby before proposing. And by the end of the day, they were exhausted. It was impossible to feel his toes, but he had to ask the important question to her. They were standing on a cliff, staring at the Eiffel Tower—which was pretty, he had to admit. “Nash, why did you randomly take me to Paris?” Libby asked, and he froze, unable to even look at her. But she glanced at him. “I know you would eventually take me to travel, but why right now?”

He gathered himself, his heart pounding fast. “I love you, Libby. You deserve to have a day like this one every day for the rest of your life”, he picked her chin, looking in her eyes. “But I brought you here today because I wanted to ask you something.” He dropped her chin, searching for the ring on his pocket. “You saved me in so many ways, Libby. You fixed what I thought could never be fixed. You loved me for what I am, and I want to be with you until I die. So,” he picked the box, “I really want to know.” Opening it carefully, he revealed the ring. If he wasn't shaking, sweating and so god-damn nervous, he would've noticed Libby's shy smile and her hands shaking. She was blushing, like him. Kneeling, he asked, “Lib, will you marry me?” Her smile grew more and more, happiness dominating her completely. She shook her head and said out loud, “Yes, Nash. I'll marry you. I love you so much.” Lib managed to say the last part with a quavering voice, tears falling down her cheeks. He got up from the ground, and she hugged him really tight, both with bright smiles. Nash kissed her like his life depended on it, like he was made for it and for nothing else, a soft and lovely kiss. His lips held an unspoken promise: “I will fight for you, love you, and always choose you. I'm yours, and I'll do everything I can to make you happy.” And they stood there, kissing, with happy tears in their eyes.

Review Ramble: The Fault in Our Stars

I keep thinking back to when “The Fault in Our Stars” was at its peak in popularity, and you had dual cultures where some people adored it, and others made memes out of it. And while there's definitely a lot of conversations to be had about the genuine criticisms of the novel and John Green, a major fraction of the criticism it got was just a classic case of people dunking on anything that teen girls like. It’s a romance novel about two cancer afflicted teenagers falling in love and their journey through their last days. I have yet to see a discussion on how the story impacted chronically ill communities. Especially the youth. Everyone really took heart to the cliché teen romance rather than (what I think) was a significant subject of the story.

Why should you read it?

The story talks from the perspective of a patient with terminal cancer who talked about what it was like to be depressed at the hands of being constantly sick, how love and friendship is intertwined and how it feels for it to be limited, how every regular human chore or activity is something so different, and what that means for the people around her. Shows you how it feels to have numbered days and that sometimes your bucket list will stay unfulfilled- not because you have a given time, but because you find greater joy in the first few checkdowns on it. All of that just because you’ve been granted a smaller infinity than others. Makes you cherish every moment because you are supposedly I’m hoping, someone with a bigger infinity. On the contrary, just because the lead characters are cancer patients, doesn’t mean it’s not as relatable to others. The story moves in such a realistic manner that anyone can relate to it, understand and feel it. Friendship, love, anger and regret- we’ve all felt these feelings. There’s inclusivity for all. And honestly I don't think that this story and narrative should be taken for granted and be marked as overrated or basic romance considering how little these kinds of stories get told, especially from the perspective of a young person.

This book holds a special place in my heart:

I bought mine sometime in 2016. Throughout my teen years till now, as the book grew older with me in my shelf and the more I reread it- the more I feel a circulation of grief, gratefulness and love. The dialogues exchanged among the characters touch your heart and make you think, make you relate. It’s so special to me because it’s my first book- the book that now has got me saying “I love to read books”. For me, it was spectacular. I could ramble about it for hours. If I had my way, I'd stop right here and tell you to go buy it instantly. Give it a read and fall in love with Hazel and Augustus.

Should you read other John Green books? Yes, definitely.

John Green is a stunning writer. His books are fairly easy to read for beginners with youth as a strong target audience and have a way of making you keep reading them. The combination of teenage humor, the crafting of epic awkward situations, and the emotions that are perfectly captured. It is the perfect recipe to make you read it one go, making you cry and laugh at the same time.

Some more John Green recommendations: “Looking for Alaska”, “Paper Towns”, “Will Grayson Will Grayson”, “An Abundance of Katherines”, and “Turtles All the Way Down”.

⭐

Two of my favorite quotes from the novel:

"Grief doesn't change you Hazel, it reveals you"

"That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt."

On the Origin of Species – A Classic Scientific Literature by Charles Darwin

If you love science, the human race, and the evolution of humankind and other species, and like reading Dawkins, Robert Wright, Pinker, and Sagan’s works, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection by Charles Darwin could be your ‘The Book.’ 

Published in 1859, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggles of Life (Yes, that’s the complete title of the book) is one of the best non-fiction books of all time based on scientific theories. 

The book is a seminal work, widely recognized as one of the most poignant writings on the area of biology and an important paradigm shift in the history of modern science that lays down the foundation of evolution. 

Darwin was one of the greatest authors, English naturalists, and geologists of the 19th century who dared to write non-fiction books based on his scientific studies. In the book, Darwin claims with scientific evidence that all species evolve over time through a process called natural selection. It contrasts with the term artificial selection, which is intentional, whereas natural section is not. 

 The author argues that everything in the world, including animals and plants, climate, and physical environment, are mutually interdependent. He explains that all living beings have different characteristics, traits, and habits. And that only certain variations have the ability to survive and reproduce better than others, passing on their characteristics to the next generation. And this natural process leads to a gradual but significant change, resulting in the diversification of species. 

This book is available on all book-selling websites that sell historical fiction books and non-fiction. Darwin supports his claims and arguments with a large amount of evidence, including his observation of domesticated animals, the distribution of species worldwide, and fossil study. 

All in all, On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin is a lovely touch to daily life. You can take pleasure by immersing yourself in the 19th-century world of this naturalist. 

Despite receiving many positive reviews and negative criticism, the book is still one of the most widely read and studied historical non-fiction books of all time. It is also one of the most searched books on bookstore websites. 

The theory of evolution in the book, claimed by Darwin, has become the foundation of modern biology and continues to be a crucial element of research to this day. 

Darwin explains complicated scientific terms simply and elegantly, charming readers without a science background. Besides, the implications he has made to understand the diversity of life on earth are absolutely genius. 

Anyone who’s interested in the history of biology, the natural world, and science must read this book, as it can create a profound impact on your beliefs and the way you understand this world. The unabridged version of the book is available on the Booksophile bookstore website. 

Booksophile is a reservoir of historical fiction books, online law books, memoirs, and non-fiction, published and printed in the 19th and 20th centuries.

"1984" is a dystopian novel by George Orwell, published in 1949. The book is set in a future totalitarian society where the government, known as "The Party," controls every aspect of citizens' lives. The story follows the protagonist, Winston Smith, as he begins to rebel against the oppressive regime and seek a sense of freedom and individuality.

The society depicted in "1984" is characterized by strict government control of information, language, and behavior. The Party uses pervasive surveillance and propaganda to manipulate and control the population, eliminating dissent and maintaining their power. Winston's attempts to resist the Party's control and find meaning in his life ultimately lead to his downfall.

The book explores themes such as the dangers of totalitarianism, the importance of individualism and freedom, and the power of language and communication. It has become a classic of dystopian literature and is often cited as a warning against the dangers of authoritarianism and government overreach.
