Believe it or not, in six decades I never read "How to win friends and influence people." Almost through it now, but thinking that there should be a law that every citizen has to read this book before turning 25. Event with the datedness of the references and the linguistic style being decades old its essence holds up like a walk in the summer sun. (Shantaram was also phenomenal.)
Love this curation so much and the fact that so many of my favorite books appeared on your list. Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance! I haven’t been able to convince anyone to read that but it’s a classic! Arundathi Roy is a essayist and her nonfiction is even better than her fiction. Thanks for reminding me of the joy of the classics.
Excellent list youve put together! Ive read a few but Im a fiction amateur so you gave me the nudge I needed.
Yes man! Happy to see a new fiction convert. Thanks for the comment, Arman.
These types of mailings are my favorite to receive. Thanks for this excellent list! Many are on my TBR
Thanks Cata! I was wondering if it would land with people. Happy there are so many other book lovers out there :))
Thanks for including me
Any time. Wouldn't be complete without TPP.

Right?! Such an important book. Happy both us got around to it eventually. Thanks for the comment!

Awesome. I've only read Roy's novels - now I'm curious to read her nonfiction work. Thanks for the comment Sadia!
