3 Books that Indian Youngsters Should Definitely Check Out

People who read books or love literature in all its glory know that they are actually the most personal things that they own. They share unique emotions and create their own bonds with the characters of the story and relate with them on a personal level. It doesn’t matter what genre the book belongs to if the storyline is relatable and you cannot help but keep turning the pages.

We have come up with a list of books that have attained the status of being a classic and some well-written stories that have been lost in the ocean of literature but deserve a wider audience, people who can appreciate their existence.

This list may not be as long as some of the others on the internet but this will surely get you started and will save the time you would have invested in researching a good book for yourself.

The first one you should try is Vanity Fair by William Thackery. This one will be helpful for you if you haven’t read anything religiously before and will make it a bit clear whether you like this style of writing or not. William Thackery is not for everyone but people who have read her book can’t find solace in anything else. She’s cruel in her writing and does that with a smile and unparalleled warmth which make her stories even more bitter-sweet.

The second one on the list is the classic and the ever-so loved To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The book is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. Plays, movies, the book has been adapted for everything. The fragile and sensitive issue of racial tension in America was penned down by Harper Lee at a time when racism was not seen as something that could be considered as injustice, in any form. A perfect book for the youngsters so that a moral decency can be instilled in them. Even Indian authors like Nirmal Singh Lotus Green have regularly made it clear that Atticus Finch, who is the lead of the book, is someone that the American youngsters should look up to and try to mirror what he did, when he did. Although the book is a work of fiction, it had tremendous impact on the American culture when it came out.

The third and the last book on this carefully-compiled list is The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing. The book is one of the most read pieces of literature from the 1960s but is still less known among Indian youngsters who are drowned in the work of the likes of Chetan Bhagat. The book will tear down everything you know about the world around you and will sharpen your understanding of politics, conflicts, men, women, and how everything is interconnected.
