How I define my top 10 will definitely differ from everyone else. When I try to remember the best books I have read, I have this criterion. How much did that book force me to finish at once? Whether I was able to finish it in one go or not due to other compelling reasons. Second, how much was I able to connect the earlier chapters while reading the later chapters? Sometimes it happens that you are at the end of the book but you cannot connect well with the story and the flow. The third and most important point is how much my memory faded over a period of time. There are so many books that are as fresh in my mind as when I read them. And there are books that you forget about a week after finishing them.
This criteria for creating the top 10 books would vary from one reader to another. In fact, for me, it’s always an evolving list. That is, it is always in training and development. So I call it a fledgling list. These are not in any order. But all of these 10 books are evergreen and favorites.
The first book that comes to mind is Fish. Even reading it during my college days, it still hits my mind and conscience from time to time. This is indeed a thin book but very valuable on the inside.
The second book is Goal. Both books are powerful transformers. They have the power to transform anyone’s life.
Next is The Prophet. In fact, I can read this book as many times as I want. Every time I read it, it gives me a different meaning to life.
This book is by a very young author. The book has a strong message that is presented in its purest form. That is why I have not been able to forget his story despite having read it a long time ago. I mean the helpline.
My next favorite book is Slow by Digonta Bordoloi. There is a high level of depth in this book. Right now we are in the middle of my list.
The sixth book that I would like to mention is Sudhi Kannan. This book has a simple story. But the story has all the elements of adventure, hope, drama, and action.
Living with Merlin is a story of deep pain that comes with a sweet fragrance.
The Tallion Tale is an interesting spy story that has a great message.
Borderline is a book that everyone probably needs to read. It is about the psychological disorder.
The last book on my list is A Cupful of Aha!
That completes my top 10 list. The best books I have read. But that does not mean that these are the best sellers. In fact, I plan to write my next Top 100 post.
