Would love for Kautuk and Neville/Aadar to do a limited episode podcast on different genres of books. You can take any genre, talk about it in general, the authors, the books. I mean, the way Kautuk carried this episode - he needs to give us a spin-off 👏🏽

I seldom comment on podcasts, but this podcast is one of my favorites. The books that you guys mentioned shows so much research, specially bawa. I mean no one mentions books like, "Maybe you should talk to someone", "Anxious People", "Humans", etc. I made notes while listening to the podcast, and that is something. Thank you this made my day

[@rahulchhangani7]

A small talk with my self before starting this episode: Calm down! You don't read books its not a problem. Varun hai na he will keep explaining with his Basically. You didn't know about Dinosours. But he basically explained " basically uske muh main Rampuri hai". Bhai sambhal lenge.

I used to be one of those kids who would never been seen without a book. I would binge 400+ pages a day with a sippy water bottle (to stayed hydrated lol) Lost that along the way around my teens and now in my 20s started searching for it again.

[@sowmyakumari27]

He didn’t mention it.. I hate when they do that

[@dharabarot4033]

I’ve been waiting for this one! I don’t usually comment but I’ll write my thoughts throughout - my first book was Matilda - Harry Potter is truely a book that defines a generation - idk how varun can watch GOT again after the disaster that was the ending - Brandon Sanderson is the defining voice of modern fantasy - Neil Gaiman is an absolute genius, even writing for tv shows he’s someone who’s very distinctive in his writing - prachett has the best sense of humour - self help as a psychology student makes me want to poke a needle in my eye because mostly it works through placebo effect, they put a bandaid on an open wound rather can taking down the scaffold and rebuilding - what Neville said about books was so poignant - no but the bit about Da Vinci and Newton make me lose it cause woh log ke pas Netflix or prime nai tha to obviously they’d just try to learn as much as they can - goosebumps was one of my favourite series to read as a child. The choose your own adventure books are made it so much more interactive - interested in Cain’s jawbone I’m going to add it to my tbr - Christine is what Tarzan the wonder wanted to be - I remember reading the shining when I was 14 and it was traumatic. It’s really disturbing - as a bts army, who used to be a potterhead, I’d like to say that serious potterhead have no overlap with Armys. - YA post twilight is same wine in different bottles - I used solely read historical fiction when doing my history extensions some gems are- all the light we cannot see, the book thief and Maus. One funny book I’d suggest to everyone is the messenger by Markus Zusak, that book truly changed the way I saw life

[@AmborishRoychoudhury]

Awesome video, guys. For some curious reason, a discussion on reading is by default about English books. There’s a staggering volume of literature in Indian languages - and that’s an understatement. Including different variations on the Mahabharat. Allen Ginsberg, a friend of Jack Kerouac and part of the Beats gen poets/ writers, came to Calcutta, traveled with Bauls, translated their work and even performed. Jack Kerouac advised Sunil Gangopadhyay, a Bengali literary giant, on how to go about writing a novel. The cross-pollination between Indian and western literature is just too cool. Only, somehow non-English Indian literature is treated with disdain out here in India.
