Siege is very good.
The Siege of the City is a unique satirical in the history of modern Chinese literature. Author Qian Zhongshu 1910—, a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu, graduated from the Department of Foreign Languages of Tsinghua University in 1933, and later studied in Britain and France. "The Siege of the City" was written in 1944 and completed in 1946, when the author was living in Shanghai, hearing about the brutality of the Japanese invaders, "two years of sorrow and sorrow" "Siege of the City, Preface", and at the same time tenaciously "accumulation" of his own perception and thinking on life and academics put into writing, and successively completed the ** "Siege of the City" and the academic work "Tan Yilu".
In the preface to the first edition of The Siege, the author described his creative intentions: "I want to write about a certain part of modern society, a certain type of character. Referring to the content of **, it can be seen that the author deliberately expresses the appearance of modern Chinese upper-class intellectuals.
Through the emotional, marital and love entanglements between the protagonist Fang Hongjian and several intellectual women, and through Fang Hong's encounter all the way from Shanghai to the mainland, "The Siege" depicts the hesitation and emptiness of some Chinese intellectuals in the context of the Anti-Japanese War with a comic satirical tone. The author explained the meaning of "besieged" through the mouth of ** characters, saying: This is derived from a French idiom, that is, "besieged castle".
People outside the city want to rush in, people in the city want to escape. The whole plot of ** is the siege and escape of young men and women in the intellectual circle in the love entanglement, and at a deeper level, it is to show the situation of some intellectuals trapped in the spiritual "siege". And this is the profundity of the theme of "The Siege".
The Siege of the City shows a subtle observation of the world and human conditions and a superb psychological depiction art. The author portrays the reserved and hypocritical character of the talented female character Su Wenjun, and the hidden city behind the small jasper-style Sun Roujia is supple, which can be described as a faint candle; The analysis of Fang Hongji's complex personality mentality, who is shrewd on the lips but cowardly in his heart, not uninformed but inactive, is even more tortuous. The description of "The Siege" is full of mocking comedy from beginning to end.
The basic plot of ** revolves around Fang Hongji, ** many characters, and most of the scenes are also shown from Fang's point of view, Fang's ridiculous attitude of watching people and reading the world, and the mocking tone of the author implied behind him, which is staggered and blended, making the satirical technique of "The Siege" unique.
The narrative of "The Siege of the City" is not completely close to the character and plot clues, the author often obliquely comes out, talks about the past and the present, and cites the facts, novel metaphors, and warning sentences, which emerge one after another, so that the knowledge capacity of ** language is greatly increased, but sometimes there are too many branches, and there is a slight suspicion of showing off knowledge.
The Siege of the City was first published in Shanghai in 1947 and revised by the People's Literature Publishing House in 1980, with the addition of a "Preface to Reprint" written by the author. Qian Zhongshu's wife Yang Jiang once wrote "Remembering Qian Zhongshu and the Siege of the City", which has a very interesting account of the writing of "The Siege" and the relationship between some characters and prototypes in **, which can be referred to.

Although the book is very old, and I forgot to talk about high school or junior high school, I remember that I felt very positive after reading it at the time, and I had the urge to live like them, and I am now a junior like you, and I want to be inspired at any time like you
In addition, "Love at Harvard" was quite blood-boiling after watching it at the time, but this is a Korean TV series.

I saw that someone has already recommended foreign literature for you, and there are a few more common ones. If you want to read suspense, I highly recommend Stephen King's book, he mainly writes thriller suspense**, this book is very exciting. You can also take a look at Dan Brown's.
It's all good-looking. Recommend "Story Vending Machine", "Angels and Demons", "The Da Vinci Code".

Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, a classic within a classic.
-
People with different interests and hobbies have big differences in the standards or concepts of "good books", and you should specifically name which aspect of the book so that others can know where your needs are.

I don't know what type of books you like, but based on personal experience, I recommend you some inspirational ones, I recommend reading "Youth Hegemony" written by Japanese authors, also known as 50 things that young people in their twenties must try.
If it is the ** category, I recommend Lu Yao's "Ordinary World", which tells the struggle of China in the sixties and seventies, and Huoda's "Muslim Funeral" is very good.
If the chicken soup is Carnegie's "The Weakness of Human Nature".
West Point "No Excuses".
"Letter to Garcia" and "Sheepskin Scroll" in the executive category
There is also the easy-to-understand "Who Moved My Cheese".
Or the biographies of some successful people.
Historiography: "Historical Records" and "Zizhi Tongjian".
Martial arts first recommended the works of Gu Long and Jin Yong, and then Liang Yusheng, Wo Longsheng, Ni Kuang, Wen Ruian, and Shangguan Qingyun.
Poetry "Book of Songs" and "Six Hundred Tang and Song Poems".
Of course, the anthology of the great writer Lu Xun is more classic, but it is a little difficult to understand!
