What’s on My Reading List?

As children we were told by our parents  that we must read books, in the hope that reading would increase our knowledge and  improve our language and keep us busy for hours on end. This often gave parents  the much needed breathing space as their children were immersed in the world of words. As we grew up, our teachers, both in school and college constantly urged us to read, so  that our vocabulary, grammar, language and knowledge increased.

 When we took up the writing profession we voluntarily turned readers. Reading for us is one of the  most pleasurable activities. It’s our passion that is second to our first passion: writing.  I can say this with conviction,  that for most of us writers we can disappear in a bookshop or a library for hours. By reading we get acquainted with diverse cultures and traditions, get familiar with places we have not visited or haven’t even heard of, hear about professions unknown to us, and meet people we would not have met in real life.

In this post I will share what is on my current reading list.
