5 awesome books that I recommend

In the beginning reading novels was something that felt like was forced upon me. In school days, instead of reading a course read a novel for a term. Thus, the examination was based on the novel and mainly what we too from the book. Our assignment was basically finishing the chapter that we couldn’t finish in the class. So, the idea of reading novel was never something that came to me from my self-interest. Growing up I used to read the entire book written by Roald Dahl. The best part about the Roald Dahl books was that it had a sense of humor which was appropriate for age that he had written for. One of my all-time favorite books is also of Roald Dahl called “The Twits”.

So, the main intention of this blog is recommending 5 best books that I have read until now and I absolutely loved. Let’s start with the list shall we?

1. The Twits

The Twits remained my favorite book for a while because this was the last book I read of Roald Dahl. This book is full of humor and prank. The Twits is about a couple known as “The Twits”. To be honest I don’t remember all the details of this book, but I can assure you that I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book because this couple continuously play prank on each other. The best part that I can recall is where Mrs. Twits to take revenge on her husband puts worms from the garden in her husband’s pasta and tells her husband that this is the new kind of pasta she bought. While you love the couple for their prank on each other you will hate them for mistreating the animals. Therefore, this is a must read. You will be able to finish this book within an hour because you will enjoy it so much that you will ask yourself to read more and of course it is a very thin book.

2. Seto Dharti

Seto Dharti is the first and the only Nepali novel that I have read. It is a wonderful novel written by Amar Neupane. The language is in Nepali and most of the words are complex to understand but the writing of Amar Nepali is truly amazing.

The book is about a very prevalent issue in Nepal of Child Marriage. The story revolves around a young girl Tara. This book left me in tears in some of the part. When you read you will able to relate with me in the part where the poor little girl is unaware that she is getting married. The story majorly focuses on how Tara lives her life as a widow and how she handles all the responsibility of the household after her mother dies at a tender age. However, the best part about the book is the first narrative by the author which gives you the hint as to where the story is heading. The book is about the brutal life girls had to live in ancient and still in some of the rural areas of Nepal.

3. The giver

The Giver written by Louis lowry is the only book where I remember every part of it distinctively. The giver is about a Utopian society. A Utopian society is a society which perfect or nearly perfect. As you dig deeper in the book you will be able to actually find out that it is dystopian. The story revolves around a character Jonas who is chose to be the next giver after the reigning giver resigns. The giver here is a person who holds people’s memories, pain, joy and other emotion. Basically people are not able to feel pain, joy, and have memories. They can also not see colors. The society where Jonas lives is a society where you cannot choose your profession and your profession. If a twin is born, the one which weighs less is killed. So, when it is time to give people their jobs, Jonas becomes the next Giver. So, the book than focuses on the truth Jonas learns. The question is will Jonas escape beyond the boundary of community or will he remain as a Giver in the Society? To find the answer you must read the novel.

4. Bloodline

Bloodline a book by Sydney Sheldon is a book full of suspense and mystery. As you read on the book you will be able to create a face for every character because the writers’ description will compel you to. The story will literally be in your head like a movie where you can even imagine the dress the character is wearing at the particular moment.

I still have the picture of Anna Roffe wearing a red gown in my head because the description is so captivating.

Roffe and Sons is a big empire. The bloodline of Samule Roffe is very big. The story starts when Samuel Roffe dies in a hiking accident. Everyone in the bloodline of Samuel comes forward for their share in their property after his demise. The mystery of Samuel Roffe death gradually unfolds as you read the story. Trust me the ending will definitely surprise you.

5. The Monk Who sold his Ferrari

I finished reading this book recently. I would recommend this book because I love reading it for different reason. At first I seriously thought this was supposed a novel with a much unexpected story because people were talking about. But, the book turned out to be different then what I had expected. This book definitely made me reflect back on many things and how I looked my life.

The book is about a man named Julian who once used to be a lawyer and now has turned into a monk. Julian is a lawyer turned monk who realizes how he has been ignoring the real happiness is real life. As Julian is a changed man now, he is also trying to give John (Colleague and a friend) a sense of awareness as to how we have been living in this materialistic world. The major take away from this book is that “By elevating the lives of others, your life reaches to the highest dimensions”. Lastly the most important thing that I want to quote from the book is “Shredding the Shackles of self”. It means that you should free yourself from something that is preventing you from doing what you wanted.

Well, Ferrari here is just a metaphor and you can interpret in anyway you like. This is a good read and I definitely urge you to read it.
