The books are listed in no particular order, or rather, in the order I remembered them while writing this. I read all sort of books and this hopefully this list reflects just that. If you're on Goodreads, you can checkout my profile.
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. One of my favorite science fictions of all time. They're even making a movie out of it! Throughouly enjoyable and has lots of cool science. A total page turner.
Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. A masterpiece. Amazing how relatable it was despite being a rather strange work of fiction.
White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky. A rather poetic novella about solitude. Good read.
1984 by George Orwell. A classic. Only recently got the time to read it. Thought provoking. The author was born in Bihar btw.
Design as Art by Bruno Murari. Has some nice illustrations. Talks about why design should be both functional and beautiful. Oddball book I picked up because I thought I was good at sketching. I am not.
Infinite Powers by Steven Strogatz. Talks about the history of Calculus. Lots of fun maths history trivia. Has an image of Newton's notebook where he discovers integrals for the first time!
Revolutionaries by Sanjeev Sanyal. Talks about the rebel movements & revolutionaries of pre-independent India. I'm a history nerd so I really liked this one.
The Incredible History of India's Geography by Sanjeeev Sanyal. Enjoyed this one thorughly. Good gift material for kids too.
Let's Talk Money by Monika Halan. Personal finance stuff. Very well written. Covers a lot of ground.
Cosmos by Carl Sagan. Magnum opus of Carl Sagan. Inspiring & revealing. A must read.
Animal Farm by George Orwell. Throughouly enjoyed this one. Very reflective of the human society. It's fascinating how well Orwell manages to describe the world around you in absurd and wildly imaginary setttings.
Reading books and buying books are two totally different hobbies.
