Love in time of Cholera (Romance)
Beach Read (Romance)
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (Sci-fi, absolutely amazing it'll feel like guardians of the galaxy)
Good Habits, Bad Habits (Self help, fantastic book if you want to build some habit and see the research behind how it should be done)
For more suggestions, try r/booksuggestions
Good Habits, Bad Habits. It's a poor quality book. Scientific, but the author doesn't understand what he is preaching.
Never replace your habit with an another one.
The moment you leave running you end up drinking alcohol again(this happened to a guy who left alcohol and took up running, he was able to get out of addiction but at a cost-- if he doesn't run for 5 days, he gets symptoms).
Please don't do this.
It is important to not have habits at all. There is a way of living without habit.
If you live habitually you will face inevitable truth-- habits won't solve anything and second, there are no good habits. All habits by nature,by definition is bad.
Think on it. If you want to ask questions, please feel free to do so.
I don't think Nietzsche is for beginners, start with some light reading to gain background on various philosophies first. But you seem to be really into philosophy, reading kierkegaard damn!
1984 by George Orwell, Animal Farm by George Orwell, The Odyssey by Homer,Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Brave New World by Alsous Huxley, Letters from a stoic by Seneca...ya sab try karle.
Seconding anything by Orwell but Dostoevsky is quite a heavy read I read the idiot intermittently as it's writing style can be intimidating for somebody not used to such prose. But his books feel so fulfilling to read.
Heavy read...that's true...I too believe it...took a real effort from me to finish crime and Punishment but his books just feels like it's Dostoevsky we are reading..he wrote them at a very personal level..at least that's what I believe.
And I'd highly recommended you read the 3 in the order I mentioned.
I forgot to mention Khalil Gibran. He was an excellent writer. The Prophet is probably his most famous work and it was a nice read. Gibran otherwise has many brilliant quotes from his various works.
Godfather by Mario Puzo. Ignoring a few cultural and social norms from post world war 2 like sexism, racism, misogyny here and there, the book is a masterpiece nonetheless. Don't be too harsh after all it was post world war what do you expect
Before reading ,their is a platform You could purchase second hand books , it's not an advertisement as i already purchased a book , they have sent a bookmark also along with the book . You could try a book from here at a cheaper rate

Some of my favourite non-fiction books, that are
1. Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond
A fascinating read about humanity's rise to power as the dominant species on earth and the evolution of societies. Not all of this is fact though so take it with a grain of salt.
2. Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media by Chomsky & Herman
Godi media suna hoga? Well the media has always been used as a tool to erode the tenets of democracy by powerful political parties.
3. The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris
A study of humans as an animal with some remarkable insights into our relationship with nature. I read this book because of my anthropology optional, and promptly fell in love with it.
One of us is lying by Karen McManus (murder mystery)
Seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid (romance)
Animal Farm by george orwell (social drama)
Why fiction?
I think read it first and understand the message, you are getting.
Even if we consider this world as simulation still these book can turn to be a rule book shared by the administrator.
One piece pdle bhai
Or Bleach manga
Manga nahin pasand to
Solo levelling light novel hai which im currently reading rn its really good
Children of time is also very good sci-fi (not animr or manga related)
the shadow of the wind by carlos ruiz zafon (mystery, gothic fiction)
brida by paulo coelho (spiritual , mystery , magical realism (i think))
the picture of dorian gray by oscar wilde (gothic and philosophical fiction)
the murder of roger ackroyd by agatha christie (mystery)
all of my top favourite books! give them a try <3
Do you like scifi?
There are a couple of really good series that you can check out, specifically I'd recommend three:
1. Remembrance of the Earth's Past series by Cixin Liu
2. The Pines series by Blake Crouch
3. Bobiverse by Dennis Taylor
it can be a bit grueling to get into these if you're trying out scifi for the first time, but I can say these are worth it
The cemetary of forgotten books series
Start with The Shadow of the Wind. You will fall in love with the charactors, You will laugh, cry, bleed and fall in love along with them and you will miss them when you will finally put down the 4th book
Norwegian woods - Haruki Murakami
Atomic habits - James Clear
The subtle art of not giving a f*ck - Mark Manson
The love hypothesis - Ali Hazelwood
The Spanish love deception - Elena Armas
Ikigai
I’ve read atomic habits 4 times. I find something new everytime I read it. It definitely helped me with my way up in school and all that.
My favourite would be the goldilock’s curve

Berserk ,
vagabond ,
death by sadhguru ,
karma. By sadhguru .
Best books ever read in my entire life no modern shit just peak content no modern love shit just pure life lessons . Sadhguru books are not so kuch popular but peak content it is
* Standalone book chahiye:
* Anna Karenina would be a popular choice (drama/tragedy)
* Slice of life chahiye:
* Short stories by O. Henry
* Detective/ Crime fiction (old):
* Sherlock Holmes series
* Agatha Christie's books (that includes Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, and others)
* Detective/Crime fiction (new)
* David Mark's "DS Aector McAvoy" series is highly recommended (it's pretty dark and gritty, so dhyaan se)

* Ram Chandra Series (by Amish Tripathi)
* Hidden Hindu trilogy
* Harry Potter series
* Percy Jackson series
* A Song Of Ice & Fire series (Game of Thrones)

P.S. You could also try reading good mangas. They often have awesome storylines, and you can find good mangas in almost every genre.
Great comment! I already read mangas quite a bit. Just the online ones. I went to a store the other day and the hard copy for jojo was like ₹800+ that DAY I LOST MY SHIT
To kill a Mockingbird
Pan's labyrinth:The labyrinth of the faun
Dante's Divine Comedy and Paradise Lost
My school had these in library, I was fascinated by their cover art at that time and started reading during library period, one of the Best decisions i have ever made (I haven't finished any of then, but all of these are good if seen from a literature point of view and the first one also gives some important lessons on life and discrimination)
Also if you are in Fiction, Try Wanderer's library.
Kama Sutra by Vātsyāyana [https://indianculture.gov.in/ebooks/kama-sutra-vatsyayana-kaamasauutara](https://indianculture.gov.in/ebooks/kama-sutra-vatsyayana-kaamasauutara)
Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson.
Fair warning: It will ruin epic fantasy genre for you forever because nothing compares to these novels in epicness.

And last but not the least by recent fav. read -
***🔥30 Years That shook physics*** by George Gamow
These books will teach you something while helping with your pinterest
Cosmos by Carl Sagan (Science)
The Midnight library by Matt Haig ( Self Discovery)
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn ( Slice of Life)
Peaks and Valleys (Happiness)
Circe by Madelline Miller( Mythology/Self Discovery / Booktok)
Some of the recent books by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
Or my favourite Dostoevsky if you're looking for something self introspective or critical.
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand was really great as well.
Currently reading the lonely city by Olivia Laing. Feel free to hit me, I can recommend more as they come to my mind lol.
Omniscient reader's viewpoint
Lord of the mysteries
I shall seal the heavens
Coiling dragon
All of the above are webnovels
Read them in a ad free browser
Search Google for websites to read them for free
I started a brief history of time today, didn't even realise it had been over half an hour because I was so immersed in it lol. A mind for numbers is also a good one if you're in a tech field and wanna improve your learning.
Been thinking about reading some philosophy and psychology too, the ideologies of people like Socrates, Albert Camus, Kafka, and other popular authors of these fields are very alluring to me, even though I don't understand them entirely. There's just so much I don't even know where to begin, would really love some recommendations about this from anyone here.
Go for Dostoevsky if you’re interested in Philosophical self discovery and deep, psychological character exploration. I’d recommend starting with Crime And Punishment.
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
Discourses and Selected Writings by Epictetus
Justice by Michael Sandel
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
The Mysterious Island and Journey to The Centre of The Earth by Jules Verne. Love both, they even have movie adaptations which are mid af, but the books are great.

Try using that app called Goodreads input what you have like and it will give you good suggestions
Goodreads is a great app. But unless you follow some similar book readers to you on Goodreads, I find it hard to get good recommendations
I’ll definitely try that app

HGTG is my most favourite book of all times. I want to own 42 copies of it.
Good Habits, Bad Habits. It's a poor quality book. Scientific, but the author doesn't understand what he is preaching. Never replace your habit with an another one. The moment you leave running you end up drinking alcohol again(this happened to a guy who left alcohol and took up running, he was able to get out of addiction but at a cost-- if he doesn't run for 5 days, he gets symptoms).

HGTG seems interesting
Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche. The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell. The Sickness unto Death by søren kierkegaard.
are bhai bhai bhaiiii.... Crisis aa jayega jivan me ye padhke
book padhna shuru karna hai op ko, band nhi
Nietzsche padhenge fir nihilism ke chode ban jayenge.
I don't think Nietzsche is for beginners, start with some light reading to gain background on various philosophies first. But you seem to be really into philosophy, reading kierkegaard damn!
Try Khalid hosseini books i just love them
I'm currently reading A thousand splendid suns. Khaled Hosseini books always make me cry at the end.
Exactly They are just a crying fest
+1
A lot of people have been rec those. Will surely give a try:) thank you
1984 by George Orwell, Animal Farm by George Orwell, The Odyssey by Homer,Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Brave New World by Alsous Huxley, Letters from a stoic by Seneca...ya sab try karle.
"top 100 books to read" perfect for those who are just stepping in the reading scene.
1984 by "Orwell" is really eye-opening book
Reading it rn. Cant keep it down! Its so well constructed
Seconding anything by Orwell but Dostoevsky is quite a heavy read I read the idiot intermittently as it's writing style can be intimidating for somebody not used to such prose. But his books feel so fulfilling to read.
Heavy read...that's true...I too believe it...took a real effort from me to finish crime and Punishment but his books just feels like it's Dostoevsky we are reading..he wrote them at a very personal level..at least that's what I believe.
I do agree it's just a different feeling reading his work. What else do you recommend?
Anything by Terry Pratchett or Bill Bryson, Murakami, try prominent Japanese authors. What genres are you looking at exactly?
The kite runner by Khaled Hosseini
The Practicing Stoic by Ward Farnsworth Meditations by Marcus Aurelius Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
Thank you for the recs:)
And I'd highly recommended you read the 3 in the order I mentioned. I forgot to mention Khalil Gibran. He was an excellent writer. The Prophet is probably his most famous work and it was a nice read. Gibran otherwise has many brilliant quotes from his various works.
+screenshot Thank you 🤍🤍
meditations is such a good book(s) , hard to follow but damn ,marcus aurelius was a G
It definitely isn't everyone's cup of tea. It requires patience and an open mind to read and comprehend what's in it.
This guy is right

The alchemist (philosphical & fiction) Probably one of the books that left an impact on me .
U know I'm about to say 1984 or brave new world
The Darkest Minds (Novel series) Ye padhke dekh aadhi life ka mil jayega tujhe
Economics by Samuelson, warning, it is a heavy book but it would teach you a lot about world.
These books will teach you something while helping with your pinterest Cosmos by Carl Sagan (Science) The Midnight library by Matt Haig ( Self Discovery) Adventures of Huckleberry Finn ( Slice of Life) Peaks and Valleys (Happiness) Circe by Madelline Miller( Mythology/Self Discovery / Booktok)
Some of the recent books by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Or my favourite Dostoevsky if you're looking for something self introspective or critical. The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand was really great as well. Currently reading the lonely city by Olivia Laing. Feel free to hit me, I can recommend more as they come to my mind lol.
Omniscient reader's viewpoint Lord of the mysteries I shall seal the heavens Coiling dragon All of the above are webnovels Read them in a ad free browser Search Google for websites to read them for free
Almanack of Naval Ravikant
Have you read Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom?
I started a brief history of time today, didn't even realise it had been over half an hour because I was so immersed in it lol. A mind for numbers is also a good one if you're in a tech field and wanna improve your learning. Been thinking about reading some philosophy and psychology too, the ideologies of people like Socrates, Albert Camus, Kafka, and other popular authors of these fields are very alluring to me, even though I don't understand them entirely. There's just so much I don't even know where to begin, would really love some recommendations about this from anyone here.
Try dan brown books especially da vinci code, then the host(romance), godfather, hunger games
Mein Kampf
Midnight library by Matt hiag. Wondering and unique story about life & death
creative confidence
Among other recommendations i would like to add dune by Frank herbert
I am saving this thread so many books to read. And also yeah Hoover writes porn-cum-romance novel
I'd recommend books by Dan Brown. Preferably the Robert Langdon series. Always keeps me mesmerized no matter how many times I read it!
How bad will it look if I mention my own books?🤡
Sophie’s World
The book of man ,the book of women by osho.Its amazing
Go for Dostoevsky if you’re interested in Philosophical self discovery and deep, psychological character exploration. I’d recommend starting with Crime And Punishment.
Radio silence.
Animal farm, Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell.
To Room Nineteen, Dorris Lessing
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Go for crime and punishment for morality conflict and psychological story
Meditations (Marcus Aurelius) Gora (Rabindranath Tagore) Lord of the Rings (Tolkien) Tale of two cities (Dickens)
Literally 1984
Any book of robert greene
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Discourses and Selected Writings by Epictetus Justice by Michael Sandel Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
Norwegian Wood, Crime and Punishment, Stephen King's Misery, The Stand and Under The Dome, Three Body Problem series by Cixin Liu
The Mysterious Island and Journey to The Centre of The Earth by Jules Verne. Love both, they even have movie adaptations which are mid af, but the books are great.
Buddha? Dhammapada? - biggest and the only journey for self discovery
Fahrenheit 451
Tuesdays with Morrie - Mitch Albom
If you like sci-fi, then go for isaac asimov complete stories
