Reading is cathartic, reading takes us to a different world, reading helps us to live thousands of lives, reading is pure love. Hifi to the ones who love to smell the pages of a new book? Well, who doesn’t? 🙂

If you are an ardent book lover then you must read more books this year, your list of books to read in the year 2021 should be based on what you want to learn ahead and unlearn right away.

Books do have a life-changing impact but I never challenge myself to read books, I don’t want to kill the joy of reading when I attach a challenge to it. That’s because I am a slow reader and I want to relish each word and savor the book page by page within my pace.

Call me old school, but I am very picky when it comes to reading a book, I will never read a book until I am fully convinced with the topic, author, and plot of the book. I am more of a non-fiction, self-help, and poetry reader and fiction hardly interests me.

Last year, I developed an intense love for Hindi reading, you must blame Manav Kaul for his free-flowing and new kind and yet the refreshing writing style, which is popularly known as Nayi Wali Hindi. So far I have read his 3 books and I am in awe with his writing style. And via him, I started reading Hindi a lot, so you can guess that the list of books to read in the year 2021 will consist of a some Hindi books too.
