Here is a list of books that will help you in improving your reading and
comprehension skills:
A Tale of Two Cities – Charles Dickens (Simply Brilliant and will get you used to complex
sentence structures)
Pride and Prejudice – (Female folks will appreciate it more…Jane Austen’s observation
and it is admirable)
Siddhartha – Herman Hesse (you get used to philosophical jargons and learn a word or
two about surviving the ordeals of life ..the moral of the story, in fact, is, if you can think,
starve and be patient, you can make it big in any situation in life! )
Catcher in the Rye – J.D. Salinger
The Angry River, The Flight of Pigeons – Ruskin Bond (if you appreciate the beauty and
bounty of nature, then Ruskin Bond is the author for you. Great way to know and learn
the words used to describe the various aspect of nature)
Men Without Women – Earnest Hemmingway (a compilation of short stories that will
keep you hooked)
Freedom at Midnight, Gone with the Wind, Guns Germs and Steel etc are the books
that tell of an important event in the history of a nation with vivid details.
Management books such as “7 habits of highly effective people”, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”,
“Outliers” and others written by management gurus throughout the world.
In fact, you should look up the books on the BBC’s list. It is a rather amusing list which
says that most of the people have read only 6 books out of the 100 books listed below. (I
have read more than 40 books on the list and I know at least a dozen people who have
certainly read more than 40 or 50 books on the list)
