My favorite satire : one budding writer asked author of "rich dad, poor dad" that how to become best author like you. He replied, " I'm not best writing author, I'm best selling author."

[@sarthakmurria2399]

I wanted to read humour & sattire because, it not only gives us a soothing entertainment yet the profound pondering nature of it.

[@aaryaganotra6607]

Hey Helly... It's been 2-3 months I started reading books and that's just because of your inspiration and help. I was about to give a try to satire books , so I think this Bestseller will be a worth try. Thank you

[@komalrd9956]

I haven't given a try for satire books but surely mystery, humor caught my eye. I'm still exploring new genres every time I read and to actually know which genre I enjoy the most. Your recommendations makes it easier to know what book to read next. Currently reading the book which got you into reading again, A thousand splendid suns. And loving it so far.

[@NegiFamily]

Hello Helly...What about "Many lives, many masters" I am reading this book right now. Have you read this? :)

[@Judithoo]

"I had no idea that an Indian author can write so well", listen to yourself what kind of statement you are making.

[@seradginasuioloer8727]

After seeing so many bad works from India, and seeing treasures from elsewhere, such mentality becomes ingrained.

[@seradginasuioloer8727]

But yeah, it's wrong☺️

[@Judithoo]

Good and bad literature are present in every place. The thing is when we get a foreign book, it is already read, reviewed and hyped in those countries. Now the trash books doesn't even reach us by that process.

Hey helly! Glad that finally someone made a video about the satire genre!👍 BTW how do u get/figure out all these underlying satires, allegories, symbolisms or any other literary devices, whatsoever. I mean, do u rely on teachers? Any website (if websites, then please recommend some good ones), any other sources, etc. I also remember u mentioning some John Greens 'crash courses', if I am not mistaken.

Usually yes - teachers and articles

[@snsubhrajit289]

Nice

[@deb0815]

Animal farm is more difficult to me than 1984 for some reason.

[@heyhowareyou1]

Maybe because a lot of details have to be filled in Animal Farm, whereas 1984 gives you a lot of details to build up the World of Oceania.

[@adityyuh]

Hey helly, have you ever read or are you planning to read Stephen King?

[@shivangisaraf4638]

Hey helly Have u read *THE FAULT IN OUR STARS BY JOHN GREEN* , *IF I STAY BY GAYLE FORMAN* AND *HER LAST WISH BY AJAY K PANDEY* ?

[@booksanimeenthusiast3802]

The only satirical I remember reading was Gulliver's Travels back in school. Pride and Prejudice was always in my wishlist but I could not understand much of it in school maybe will read in the near future. Thanks for your recommendation Helly will surely check out these books. 🙂

I want to read this genre because I am still a new reader and I am still exploring different authors, books and different type of genres. I currently finished reading "the India I love" by Ruskin Bond and I think its time to move to a new book with a different genre. Btw I have read Gulliver's travel but I never imagined it to be a satire. Now that I think about it, it does make sense.

[@1AhmedFaiyaz]

Hope you enjoy reading Bestseller

[@pawangupta5768]

Which book to start with at first and is easy of the most

[@snehasishdebnath3669]

I love reading classic satirical literature. While appreciating the author’s razor-sharp pen and comical incisions, we get to study the social mores of another culture and era. And, amazingly, works of satire that were written hundreds of years ago still feel incredibly relevant to today, revealing the foibles of humanity that transcend any particular setting. My favourite one is Animal Farm by George Orwell ... I read it basically because it was in my ICSE syllabus and the book was truly awesome... ❣️ I would love to read more from this genre.

I had only read 3 books among these, and 1984 was really a wonderful read because it gave me a whole new percpective about freedom,human emotions ,pain ...and lot more.And gullivers travel as u told i have studied it in the curicullum but never approached it in this sense so am going to read it once again for sure👍

Watching this right after finish reading Animal Farm. I loved the book and almost regret that I didn't pick it soon. It is so informing and eye-opening. Boxer reminded me of the jawans who gave their life in the recent Pulwama attack. Next read will be 1984. Thanks for the recommendations.

Hi Helly! The almost 800 page long , hardbound copy of David Copperfield which gave me acute backaches is definitely my favourite satire . This favourite child of Charles Dickens has characters which are pinnacles of human nature . We grow with the protagonist first laughing at the comical people surrounding him or pitying his innocence and later realizing everyone was byproduct of the society they lived in .

[@feyre404]

I want yo read the " Bestseller " as because I have never read a book belonging to satire genre . Though I have read "Pride and Prejudice" and "Gulliver's Travels " and have not realised that they were satirical. Thank you for making this awesome video and making me know more about this genre.

When it comes to comic novels/books it has to be Narayan gangyopadhyay's Tenida stories. And like most great works its a pity there can never be a good enough Tenida Samagra translation making the book pretty exclusive to bengalis. Apart from that the best satire i read is 1984. The only description i find apt for it is a bengali one (i gather you are a bong, so taking this advantage!)- "bhoyonkor sundor".

[@sanketmandlik]

As you said this genre is little less explored and needs bit knowledge of the background, this aspect triggers me to try this. This will serve dual purpose 1. I will know the real life chronology of events. 2. Reading novels will give a different perspective.

[@HoangNguyen-lc4bj]

One book I can recommend is "Meandering Sobriety". Although it's a philosophical book, it is a bit humorous and still thought-provoking. The book is a series of funny and thought-stimulating stories that will help you have a moment of escape from hustle reality to see and understand it deeper. It can also bring you some LOL moments as well. Most importantly, it's short and can be completed in a day.

[@akilaroyal5239]

How to use storytel and good reads

[@parveenjaffer181]

Satire flips what you think and it makes you second guess. It makes people think about reality. It is a different gateway to showing your views on touchy topics. It makes sensitive subjects easier to talk about. I think satire is an amazing addition to the world of literature. I think it isn't just entertaining but also enlightening. Satire is like a nice frosting layered on the cake of problems making a nice topping for all of us. But the yummy topping that I ever had was "American psycho Bret Easton ellis". Most importantly it does not express opinions by making it a really , long boring speech like what I did.
