A Gentleman in Moscow
9Amor Towles
Superb! Didn’t quite know what to expect when I started reading this one but it immediately swept me away to romantic Russia and there began an absolutely fantastic tale.

The Beach
9Alex Garland
I generally don't read books twice, but made an exception for this one after two decades. A brilliant, modern classic with a Kafkaesque flavor, dark but delightful, taking you on an unforgettable journey to Thailand. The movie is good, but the book is great.

The God Delusion
10Richard Dawkins
Behold, it’s a revelation (pun perhaps intended)! A game changing book on my journey through reason, ideas, theology and generally how the world works. A mandatory read examining religion and its role in society.

Why Rekky?
Good recommendations have always come from people.
You don't trust a Google result for your next book. You trust your friend who reads everything, or that person online whose taste is always spot on.
But finding those people — and keeping up with what they love — has never had a proper home. Until now.
Rekky is where people share short, honest recommendations. No algorithms deciding what you see. No AI-generated fluff. Just real opinions from real people, short enough to actually read.

Why books
Books are the original recommendation.
Long before algorithms, before star ratings, before “people who bought this also bought” — there was a friend pressing a book into your hand saying “you have to read this.”
That's Rekky.
