List of books that you NEED to read !
Reading I feel is one of the finest habits that one can develop. A habit that one ‘should’ develop. So here’s my list of 10 books that you should read, definitely if you’re in your twenties. (in no order)
Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky, this revolutionary book will transform how you view society. You will be enveloped in a constant conflict of whether to love or hate the protagonist, Raskolnikov.
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami, this book was my first step into Japanese Literature and i have never looked back ever since! It revolves around 15 year old Kafka Tamura who runs away from home with no definite aim and Nakata, a man in the last stage of life, who also happens to be able to be able to speak to cats. The book ends with both the stories clashing together. A brilliant read.
Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett, the play with existentialism as the main theme is one of my favorites of Beckett’s works.
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchel, who can deny the brilliance of this grand love story between Scarlet O’Hara and Rhett Butler.
City of Djinns by William Dalrymple, in this work of non-fiction the author portrays my favorite city, Delhi, in the most enticing light. You cannot help but fall in love with this historical city.
Pride and prejudice by Jane Austen, get lost in 19th century England, fall in love with the unfeeling and cold Mr Darcy and enjoy the sarcasm and wittiness Elizabeth Bennet.
Gora by Rabindranath Tagore,is a story set in the disruptive times when the Bengali society in Kolkata was starkly divided into the traditional orthodox Hindus and the modernized, liberal thinking Brahmos.
Onitsha by J.M.G Le Clezio, tells the story of Fintan, a young European boy who travels from Bordeaux to the port of Marseilles to sail along the coast of Africa to the mouth of the Niger river to Onitsha in colonial Nigeria with his Italian mother in the year 1948.
Mary by Vladimir Nabokov, the popularity of Lolita has shadowed how brilliant Mary is. Lev Glebovich Ganin is a Russian émigré, now living in a boarding house in Berlin, where he discovers that his long-lost first love, Mary is now the wife of the rather unappealing boarder next door, and that she will be joining her husband soon. Does he get to meet her? You will have to read to find out.
The Outsider by Albert Camus, mother died today, or maybe yesterday, I do not know. A book with an opening like can definitely not be anything short of a masterpiece.
YES
