World Book Day-2020

There is something magical about reading books. Most people think it is about knowing stories. I don't deny that. Along with the story the reader will be transported to another world, the world where he will get involved with the characters. Here, the imagination is his own. Though he is a mute spectator, the emotions he feel for the people in the book are raw and real. It is my genuine believe that people who read books are generally more mature and liberal. That is mainly because their exposure is aplenty. They would have lived different lives in different time periods. They are familiar with goodness and badness. They can differentiate from right to wrong. They can take stand in a conflict. They can be compassionate and kind. I know there are several exceptions to this generalization of mine. At least I can say reading books made me a better person and it continues to do so.

This World Book Day I want to name few of my favourite books that tops my memory right now. It is an extremely difficult task to begin with. The mere mention of a book name brings back memories associated with it. I may not remember the plot well enough, but mere mention of a book name brings back memories associated with it. The below-mentioned list will not be the same next year. So, here is the list without any particular order.

1. Jugari Cross-Poornachandra Tejaswi
2. Rage of Angels-Sidney Sheldon
3. Parva-S. L. Bhyrappa
4. Kane and Abel-Jeffrey Archer
5. Harry Potter Series-J. K. Rowling
6. To Kill A Mockingbird-Harper Lee
7. The Kite Runner-Khaled Hosseini
8. Wonder-R. J. Palacio
9. The Good Daughter-Karin Slaughter
10. Tulasidala-Yandamuri Veerendranath

Happy World Book Day from one bookish to another.
