Top 20 - A List of MUST Read Books


A List of MUST Read books - by an avid reader
Friends, foremost, this list is not exhaustive as I plan my last activity in life being reading my own autobiography! I love reading and being from ICSE board schooling, I started my share of Shakespeare books when I was 12 years old.  I guess those amazing stories of Romeo Juliet, Macbeth, The Tempest, and Taming of the shrew, just laid the groundwork in making my mind hungry for more. I like reading all sorts of books, novels, be it fiction, non-fiction, romantic, sci-fi, thriller, crime, fantasy and the works. This list is the first of its kind I’ve made, and I’ve only named here the quality yet fun reads so that even the beginners into the reading world can buy these the next time they go to landmark, Amazon or Crosswords, and say thanks to me once they’re done with the last page.
I’ll mention the genres of the book and the author along with the title and the price (wherever I can remember). I hope you enjoy reading this article, as well as the books mentioned.
I am planning to write detailed reviews on individual titles soon. I request all the readers to please comment here on what you think is the best book from this list, and any other you think is worth a mention in the category of light fun reads.

Please note, the list is not in any order of ranking.
