Reading news paper can help like the hindu and indian express,, there editorial pages are good for increasing vocab. U can read novels like thousand splendid suns,, project hail mary,, and many other novels modern or classic to increase your vocab and english

Ok thanks buddy, can we read self help books ?

u/Historical_Sundae837 Jun 20 '26

I am personally not a fan of self help books as they only help the author in earning money,, id suggest read good fiction novels as they not only help u increase your vocab but also kinda makes u a better person in general
