PLEASE EXCUSE THE TYPOS. I WROTE THIS IN A HURRY. I wish I could link my Goodreads profile here. Nevermind that. There are so many influential books I've read, it's such a difficult choice, to name a few and not mention the others.



------




The Brother’s Karamazov, Crime and Punishment, and The Idiot by Fyodor Dostovesky (I think I’ve mentioned in one of the earlier LNT why for TBK)


Obligatory - Catch 22 by Joseph Heller


Obligatory – Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell


Obligatory – The Stranger by Albert Camus


Obligatory – A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burges


Obligatory – To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf


The Domesticated Brain (I can’t point out why I like this book, but it’s very peculiar)



The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (There must be a reason why it’s one of the most influential American fiction novels right? Well, there is. You can learn so much from Fitzgerald’s writing style!)



Bridget Jones by Helen Fielding (I’m a writer, and I observe and learn from various authors and their writing style. It’s important to connect with the audience and Fielding does exactly that.)


The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma (I was fifteen I think when I first read this book. It changed my perspective towards my future, my goals and myself.)


Obligatory – The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho (There’s something about this book. I can finish it in two hours but the minute I put the book down I have this urge to fill my life’s purpose. There’s so much energy in the last few pages of this book that it literally transfers in your being.)


The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy (There’s so much to learn from Arundhati Roy. As a writer I feel so proud that India is home to an influential book like TGOST. She introduced a new writing style altogether - such an incredible job!)

I’ll have to risk sounding like a broken record.

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

Gita (Commentary)

Upanishads (Commentary)


Vedas (Commentary)


Dhammapada (Commentary)

It feels like I may have left a few.

EDIT: How could I forget Snow White and the Seven Dwarves! I was five when I read this story (it had pictures and all!) and it got me hooked to reading.

na re - reading this now - https://www.amazon.in/High-Output-Management-Andrew-Grove/dp/0679762884



THIS BOOK needs to be studied.


quite possibly the best management book by the best tech manager EVER

You can get plenty for $15 if in the US. Amazon India has it for some 2K. Also I caution you NOT to use it first on pens you love, especially smaller nibs, The ink is thick and sticks. I have 1 demonstrator that has a blueish tint, regardless of the cleaning I do. If you are looking for more variety in colours, Private Reserve & Monteverde are good choices.

I'd live something similar with a white dial, but I'll have to dig more for that.
