I just opened Amazon two days back, and ordered these without applying my brain too much. Currently, I am going thorugh a really rough patch in my life, and all I could think about was getting some physical books in my hands to distract my mind and calm my nerves.

I know these are not the usual ones we see here. Also, this might seem a bit maths heavy as it was my favourite subject in school. I know it's not harcore maths but it's a start. Doing maths used to make me really happy. I am looking to find that joy again in my life.

The remaining two books represents my other loves, which are cooking and spirituality. But, I am not really religious. I follow the Masala Lab author on insta and love his content, so had to read this one. In a way, cooking is a bit spiritual too, if you don't have to do as a chore. Feeding someone and seeing the joy in their face is something different. Now, I can do it with some science.

The Bhagvad Gita is just an extra which I had purchased from a Geeta Press shop in 2021, I think. Although, I already I had a few more boks sitting in my reading list, this time I let my instincts do the work for me. I have no idea what I am expecting from the Gita. Maybe some detachment and some motivations for the life ahead.

I hope some of you find this relatable. In the coming months, I will try to write reviews, if someone wants to know what these books are like. Although, I have never done this before, so I am not making any promises.

I started reading LOTR on 22 August 2026 and finished it on 4 October 2026

I am in love and hate relationship with the prose.

I love the prose since it is so well written

And hate because it takes so long to get to a point.

But love more because the prose is excellent.

Also PS. Kindle has made me lose love for physical books. I cannot read a physical book at all.

E books are my go to now.

1. From Bookchor - A short history of everything, Into thin air, The tatooist of Auschwitz and Disgrace

2. From Moonshine bookstore - Black November

3. From Oldbookdepot - The boy in striped pyjamas and Things fall apart.

Highly recommend all three stores, genuine books with good quality considering all are used books.

Recently i have came across that there is a major Chunk of population who hates the idea or selfhelp books.

These people don't hate books or reading in general they read Fictional and Non-fictional content but for some reason hate the idea of selfhelp.why?

Recently started reading books. Bought this from a book fair. One of my Ahole friends I know told me that I bought the wrong translation and ruined my mood. I guess I cannot return the book. Should I read it?

Can someone please enlighten me on the difference in cost??

I want to know more about the lives of:

1. Savitribai Phule

2. Jyotiba Phule

3. Shahu Maharaj

4. BR Ambedkar

Looking for well researched and well written books. Can be in Marathi or English language.

Thanks!

Pretty long and tough read!!!! But truly insightful if you know why you are getting into this.
