Thank you for the mention Namrata -- this was a really nice gesture. :)

Most of the books that I love and recommend are also in your recommendation list -- big fan of Agatha Christie, Chitra Banerjee and Perks of being a wallflower (one of my all time favorite movies).

And if someone wants recommendations on Hindi Indian comics then, I'm your guy

1. Pick up Baankelal -- any title would do. This is funny, witty and will have you hooked due to tis catchy phrases and dialogues

2. Fan of action? Pick Nagraj, Super Commando Dhruv, Doga from Raj Comics

3. In English funny comics -- pick Angry Maushi by Abhijeet Kini

I hope this helps!

Thank you for the recommendations! I really believe comics will be a great start to inculcate reading habits.

Just finished The Forest of Enchantments and oh my god, the rage I felt! Sita’s voice hits so hard. It’s heartbreaking, powerful, and stays with you long after the last page.

I know right? I was enraged too. Also, try reading Palace of Illusion someday.

I am yet to read Forest of Enchantments. I have heard from some of my reader friends that it's even better than The Palace of Illusions.

Excited to read it soon.

I recommend The Palace of Illusions for anyone who is in for some incredible storytelling. The author has done a brilliant job with the storytelling.

Some more recs for beginners would be:

~Any book by Fredrik Backman ~any Japanese fiction preferably What You Are Looking for is in the Library,

~ Tuesdays with Morrie

~ Little Women

I have read Tuesdays with Morrie. It will be a great first read for people who love hearing insightful conversations.
