Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein when she was only eighteen. At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. Obsessed with discovering the cause of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature's hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein.
Frankenstein, an instant bestseller and an important ancestor of both the horror and science fiction genres, not only tells a terrifying story, but also raises profound, disturbing questions about the very nature of life and the place of humankind within the cosmos: What does it mean to be human? What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions are more relevant than ever.

The Letters by Mary Gitema
Eve’s Fruit: Peeled and Shared....
When God created Adam, He gave him a helper, Eve, in whom Adam would find all the
good and bad, as it turned out to be. But the good was supposed to surpass and mask the bad ones since they were to live together and procreate mankind. And for Adam not to see the bad side of Eve, if there was any, God created Eve and gave her a good structure, contour lines, unmatched beauty, and figure. Look at that shape of a woman,
those lovely faces, breasts, belly “bootylicious backline” good and shapely hips that drive men crazy, those rounded legs, soft skin and to crown it all, A PLACE WHERE THE MAN IMERSES HIS MANHOOD AND FORGETS EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS WORLD.
She possesses extraordinary bodily powers and enhancements, which she skillfully uses to seduce men, persuading them to act in her favor. They are endowed with so much flesh that therein lies an incredible pleasure of the body and mind, that when a man is in there, nothing else matters to him. Whatever was in Eve; the way she appeared and behaved, and what she did, is manifested in what our women do today, to us men. Adam still loved Eve, despite her entangling his relationship with God, and as is the case now, we are obliged to continue that closeness and love, as Adam
originally did, by loving, caring, and satisfying them sexually. The short, rounded, big buttocked women, the sweeter they are sexually and the more fuckable they are and look- In Kisii language they call it oboteteko, in Kikuyu Language –Niorekana, in Kalenjin language Kumoksei and in Luhya Language -Okhukhundwa. They are generally regarded as instantly attractive to the eye of a man and more so if she has a dark complexion with the added advantage of white eyes, as they say in the Kisii language, “amaiso emori engare” meaning eyes like those of a young calf(white): probably a week old or so. These short stout and dark ladies have cut a niche for themselves among menrounded legs, plump and always looking sexy and
also looking for sex. That way they walk like they are looking for it. I understand they give men a run for their money in bed because they are stocky and more compact in the vagina.

The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen
Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 2016
A profound, startling, and beautifully crafted debut novel, The Sympathizer is the story of a man of two minds, someone whose political beliefs clash with his individual loyalties.
It is April 1975, and Saigon is in chaos. At his villa, a general of the South Vietnamese army is drinking whiskey and, with the help of his trusted captain, drawing up a list of those who will be given passage aboard the last flights out of the country. The general and his compatriots start a new life in Los Angeles, unaware that one among their number, the captain, is secretly observing and reporting on the group to a higher-up in the Viet Cong.
The Sympathizer is the story of this captain: a man brought up by an absent French father and a poor Vietnamese mother, a man who went to university in America, but returned to Vietnam to fight for the Communist cause. A gripping spy novel, an astute exploration of extreme politics, and a moving love story, The Sympathizer explores a life between two worlds and examines the legacy of the Vietnam War in literature, film, and the wars we fight today.
The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
A brilliantly imaginative talent makes her exciting debut with this epic historical military fantasy, inspired by the bloody history of China’s twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic, in the tradition of Ken Liu’s Grace of Kings and N.K. Jemisin’s Inheritance Trilogy.
When Rin aced the Keju—the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at the Academies—it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who believed they’d finally be able to marry her off and further their criminal enterprise; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free of the servitude and despair that had made up her daily existence. That she got into Sinegard—the most elite military school in Nikan—was even more surprising.
But surprises aren’t always good.
Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Targeted from the outset by rival classmates for her color, poverty, and gender, Rin discovers she possesses a lethal, unearthly power—an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of a seemingly insane teacher and psychoactive substances, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive—and that mastering control over those powers could mean more than just surviving school.
For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The militarily advanced Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most of the people are complacent to go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away . . .
Rin’s shamanic powers may be the only way to save her people. But as she finds out more about the god that has chosen her, the vengeful Phoenix, she fears that winning the war may cost her humanity . . . and that it may already be too late.
