My Never-Ending Journey Through Books: A Modern Reading List

Books have always been my sanctuary. In the midst of life's chaos, they provide solace, enlightenment, and inspiration. This year, my reading list is shaped by a harmonious blend of genres: self-improvement, fiction, and spirituality. I've been exploring various books that cater to my diverse interests and thirst for knowledge. This article will delve into my current and upcoming reads, as well as the significance of sharing these literary treasures with others.

Current Reading List

Currently, I'm engaged in a unique reading experience where I read three books simultaneously, dedicating twenty minutes to each. Here's a look at my current reading list:

Spiritual Books

The Overstory by Richard Powers The Dutch House by Ann Patchett The Testaments by Margaret Atwood The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai The Institute by Stephen King Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes Normal People by Sally Rooney

For fiction and poetry, I have a wide range of selections:

Fiction and Poetry

Bhagavad Gita by Vyasa (A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada interpretation) 12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson Atomic Habits by James Clear Animal Farm by George Orwell Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore

Each of these books serves a different purpose, from providing profound insights into personal growth to offering escapism through engaging stories. But what truly resonates with me are the spiritual texts. I often re-read them, discovering new layers of meaning each time. This year, for example, I'm on my third reading of The Overstory.

Upcoming Reads

There are several books that I am eagerly looking forward to. Here’s a sneak peek into my upcoming reading list:

Upcoming Reads

Beautiful World Where Are You by Sally Rooney Circe by Madeline Miller People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry Hail Mary by Andy Weir Between Two Kingdoms by Suleika Jaouad Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella Above The Bays of Angels by Rhys Bowen Mrs England by Stacey Halls The Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan Taste by Stanley Tucci

These titles cover a diverse range of genres and styles, each promising a unique and enriching reading experience. From deep psychological novels to whimsical comedies, I can't wait to dive into these pages and discover new worlds and perspectives.

The Power of Books and Giving Back

Reading these books has not only provided me with invaluable insights and moments of respite, but also gave me a deep understanding of the power of literature. It has been a privilege to read these books, but there are many who do not have this same opportunity. That's why I strongly suggest that all readers consider donating books to MyPustak. This organization takes books and sends them to people who cannot afford them at no cost to them. Yes, for free! It's essential that we try to make the most of the resources we have and share them with those in need.

My journey through books is ongoing, and I hope that through sharing my reading list, I can inspire others to embark on their own literary adventures. Together, we can make a difference in the world, one book at a time.
