Indian Readers discussion

I know, I know we are still 11 days away from 2018 and you all still can squeeze one or two books this year but patience is not one of my virtue. I am getting very antsy to know what you all read that managed to impress/shock/win over you.

Let see what you all have to tell me.

P.S: Also if you have any special resolution for reading, do share..

Best books: Into the Wild, The Outsiders, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, India After Gandhi

Worst books: The Immortals of Meluha ewwwww!!!

On another group I keep track of the best book read every month so now it's easy for me because I already have a list (except December).

Best fiction: The Neverending Story and The Song of Bernadette

Best non-fiction: Il tempo dei nuovi eroi and Bilal: viaggiare, lavorare, morire da clandestini (both with no English translation) and A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose.

If I should choose only one, then it would be The Neverending Story because it gave me back a piece of my childhood I had forgotten about: immagination and the ability to dream.

The worst books I've read have no English translation, so I won't add them here but stay away from the books by Alejandro Jodorowsky if you ever see an English edition.

Will update later...

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
The Schoolmaster

As per my reads,

Whereas When Breath Becomes Air is the best book that I have ever read in 2017
