Good to see Kannada books on your list. If you're interested in reading more of Kannada literature, you can start with these three books. 1. Karvalo - Poornachandra Tejaswi. 2. No presents please(short stories) - Jayanta Kaikini 3. TejoThungabhadra - Vasudhendhra

[@abookbythewindow]

thank you for the suggestion! I will check it out :)

[@shivakumarvanugu3860]

Tejo was a great book to read. I read it in telugu and had a nice experience and got lot of information from history.

[@subhranildutta1712]

The Aunt Who Wouldn't Die original book name is Goynar Baksho. There is a movie named Goynar Baksho in bengali directed by Aparna Sen. You can watch it also with subtitle.

[@abookbythewindow]

I will definitely watch the movie because the book was amazing@

[@alapandas6398]

Happy that you mentioned Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay. He is my absolute favourite bengali short story writer. BTW there is a bengali movie based on this book starring Kankana Sensarma.

[@abookbythewindow]

That is great to know! I will have to check it out! :)

[@satendrathakur1713]

"Ha Ha Hu Hu" by Vishwanatha Satyanarayana (Telugu book English translation) Sekhar: Ek jeevani by Agyeya (Sekhar- A life. English translation) Deewar me ek khidki rehti thi by Vinod Kumar Shukla (A Window Lived in the Wall - English translation by Satti Khanna) First one is historical fiction+magical realism, second is psychoanalytic+stream of conciousness, third is also somewhat magical realism. Both 2nd and 3rd are one of their kinds in Hindi literature, so original would be better, but you can try their English translation as well. Apart from Manav Kaul you can also read books by Divya Prakash Dubey (extremely simple hindi used).

[@abookbythewindow]

I have heard so much about this book ✨

[@prateektiwari]

Yes more of these recommendations videos once a while please You somehow pickup really good authors and books and you look very interested and excited while talking about them ❤

[@abookbythewindow]

[@PalashDhara-s2c]

You should include 'Pather Panchali' by Bibhutibhushan Bondopaddhay 'Devdas' & ' Shrikant ' by Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay ' Durgesh Nandini ' by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay ❤

[@abookbythewindow]

I have a book by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay that i am planning to read soon :)

[@PalashDhara-s2c]

@abookbythewindow is that ' vish briksha' ( poisonous tree) that's one of my favourite novels by him.

[@SurajYadav-w6c]

How can you forget dharmveer bharti his two novels, gunahon ka devata and suraj ka saatvan ghoda are one of the best novel of hindi and his play andha yug is the best hindi play of all time. Please read him

[@abookbythewindow]

I will add these books to my to read list.

[@m_bochare]

I would recommend a Marathi Book called "Man Me Hai Vishwaas" by Vishwas Nangre Pati. I've read that book a long time back, I remember I was came home only for two days and my childhood friend recommended it to me, and I had started reading it, and the book was so engaging that I had finished it in just one day😅. It's a biographical book and I feel it's available in English.

[@abookbythewindow]

Ah thank you for sharing your experience. I am going to add it to my tbr 🫶

[@pulkitsrvstva]

Love seeing fellow Indian Booktubers in their element ❤

[@abookbythewindow]

thank you so much :)

[@chaitanyanage4933]

In Marathi, two books I would highly recommend are 'Mrutyunjay' by Shivaji Sawant and 'Hindu: Jagnyachi Samruddga Adgal' by Bhalchandra Nemade. First one has got Murtidevi Puraskar of Jnanpith and second has got Jnanpith itself. There is English translation of Mrutyunjay and I'm sure there must be one of Hindu also. Mrutyunjay is basically a life story of Karna from Mahabharat. Hindu sets in a village in Maharashtra in 1930s to 1960s and as things progress in Maharashtra and India, the story grows covering all dimensions of social and political life. I couldn't find proper translation for adgal but it roughly means unwanted things that you don't throw away but keep with you.

[@abookbythewindow]

Wow what a great recommendation! I will try and find the books and hopefully read them at some point in life. But thank you, I always appreciate recommendations that are underrated ✨

[@AyyanarLost]

Read perumal murugan's poonachi. He is very popular writer in tamilnadu. And poonachi is his one of the familiar book here. I think its available in english also.

[@abookbythewindow]

I have read the book and it’s very interesting and daunting. Makes you really think.

[@monalinandi1540]

Got so happy to see Manav Kaul in the list and knew the list would be hit!

[@abookbythewindow]

Hahaha the list wouldn’t be complete without a mention of his work ❤️

[@meditel4520]

Nice suggestions. Never heard of most of the books except one or two... Malayalam has few books translated ones too which can be included... There are few English books which have been translated into regional languages for those who want to learn the regional languages and also get the literature words in regional language of the English words..These days, since there is a mix of English with most of the regional languages, these translated versions may help in understanding the exact translated words or atleast how to explain the English counterpart...Some of the English reads, if someone wants to try translating are 'A thousand splendid suns' and ' Kite runner ', both emotional but realistic stories.

[@abookbythewindow]

I'm glad you liked the suggestions, I will definitely add some Malayalam recommendations next time! ✨ I loved both A thousand splendid suns and Kite runner too.
