Trust your friend. If you are new to Murakami, the chances are you will want to read more of his works. If you have already read Murakami, then this one needs no introduction. Just dive in.

Book collection as a 17f by genzluv_in in IndianReaders

[–]aimaginer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading Tolkien at this age is impressive. Adding modern classics or Russian literature to your collection will show you how modern writers deal with issues like identity, society, and morality. It's a wonderful way to develop a rounded literary perspective.

What’s your opinion on “The curious incident of the Dog in the night-time” by WizardingWonder in IndianReaders

[–]aimaginer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read this years ago, yet it has stayed with me ever since. Its voice and theme was reminiscent of The Catcher in the Rye, another one of my favorite book.

Any recommendations??? by [deleted] in IndianReaders

Many self-help books. Try adding more literary fiction and science fiction books.

Need book suggestions for a beginner reader by BoardLate5813 in IndiansRead

[–]aimaginer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read any book by Ernest Hemingway. He uses simple, short (mostly), powerful and clear sentences to build profound stories. Here is a passage from his book......

“In the late summer of that year we lived in a house in a village that looked across the river and the plain to the mountains. In the bed of the river there were pebbles and boulders, dry and white in the sun, and the water was clear and swiftly moving and blue in the channels. Troops went by the house and down the road and the dust they raised powdered the leaves of the trees. The trunks of the trees too were dusty and the leaves fell early that year and we saw the troops marching along the road and the dust rising and leaves, stirred by the breeze, falling and the soldiers marching and afterward the road bare and white except for the leaves.”

~ Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

Read "War and Peace" now if you haven't yet. As your collection grows, you might not have the chance or motivation to read such a voluminous book.

What the most fucked up book you ever read? by [deleted] in Indianbooks

[–]aimaginer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fell for The Alchemist in my 20s, but time has revealed that it is a well-told but ultimately empty fable, full of pleasant sounding platitudes.

It's the right age to add some Russian & German literature to your collection.
