7 Must-Read Books To Get A New Perspective

Karna’s Wife – Kavita Kane
We have all read, watched, and rewatched Mahabharata. It is a story about families, friendship, power, love and betrayal. Usually, the men are the centre-focus of the story, but how many times have you heard a mythology tale from a female point of view? You won’t remember because there aren’t many. That’s why you should read this book. It narrates the life of Karna – Suryaputra, born to Kunti before her marriage. It is a story from Karna’s second wife Uruvi perspective. Read this book to understand the mindset of women in war.

The Power of Nunchi – Euny Hong
How many times have you walked in a room, unaware of the vibe and done something or spoken something awkward or embarrassing? I am guessing a lot of times? Understanding Nunchi – The South Korean guide to read the room is a powerful read to understand the difference between replying and responding. It is a must-read if you want to be more self-aware.

Dongri to Dubai – Hussain Zaidi
The underworld scene or as it is known as the D-Company has always remained a mystery. This book takes you on the journey of the evolution of Mumbai Mafia. It includes the story of Haji Mastan, Varadarajan Mudaliar, Maya Dolas, Manya Surve, Chotta Rajan, Abu Salem and primarily Dawood. It is a gripping tale which will keep you hooked right from the first page.

Harry Potter Series – J.K. Rowling
These are my personal favourites from the list. I know I have no right to judge, but I still can’t believe some people haven’t read HARRY POTTER. The magical world of Hogwarts school, the magic, the game of quidditch, the professors and power trio – Harry, Hermione and Ron are fighting the Dark Lord aka Voldemort. The books and the movies both do justice to the series. I can’t even stress how good these books are, and no amount of write-up can do justice to these books. Read these books to find out how awesome it is.

Mills and Boons
The name is enough. Who doesn’t love a story which includes a tall, dark, handsome, rich guy and a girl who wants to fulfil her dreams through hard work? The protagonists are total opposites but are drawn towards each other. It may sound cliche, but this is what we all grew up reading and watching in movies. A simple read of a love story where everything falls apart just so that it sticks together forever with a happy ending is what we all want.

I am a true blue Harry Potter fan. The movies and the books are such a delight.
I am always hunting for new books and these are all good options! I read the Harry Potter series for the first time when I was 8 and I really want to read them again. I recommend you the book Atomic Habits and The Art of Resilience, they are really good!
Thank You. I am glad you liked the list, and I will definitely give Atomic Habits and the Art of Resilience a try.
Thank you 🙏🏽 for this list! I look forward to reading them. The kids read Harry Potter growing up, but that’s the only one on the list I’ve read. Currently, I’m in love with the books by Vishen Lakhiani: Buddha and the Badass and the Code of the Extraordinary Mind.
Thank You. I am glad you liked the list. I have heard about Buddha and the Badass. Will check it out!
Dongri to Dubai seems to fall in my interest. Will read it now. Thanks for the list.
Thank You. Let me know how it goes!
I cannot comprehend how life is for a no-reader; I actually don’t believe there is a person is this world who does not open a book every now and then. I am addicted, I always was and will probably die reading an e-book on my mobile. Gotta check Hussain Zaidi.
Even I was a non-reader once. Took me time to get addicted to books and now I cannot remain without one.
I have read Harry Potter and I have read it soo many times. I will read Dongri to Dubai. I think I will like it.
Thank You. I am glad you liked the list.
I love Mahabharata. Will read Karna’s wife.
Thank You. I am glad you liked the list.
Harry Potter is great. I’m such a big fan I went to see all the places mentioned in Edinburgh and York
Oh My God! Visiting those places is such a dream!
Thanks for the recommendations, I’ve never read “What I Know For Sure” by Opera Winfrey, it will go to my TBR list 🙂
