A rather sad story of Toru and the figures around him, ‘Norwegian Wood’ isn't the classic happy-to-be novel that will get you out of the reading slump. But with the storytelling and the raw emotions, it will surely keep you reading till the end.
RHUK
‘Frankenstein’ is a rather gripping book that keeps people hooked till the end. It is about the issues that arise when man tries to play God and creates another being, and everything that ensues later on.
Maple-Press
A book that has been topping the bestseller chart is this one. It is a part memoir, part self-help book where the author talks about her therapy experience, the healthy conversations, and how mental health is a topic one should not ignore.
Bloomsbury-Publishing-India-Pvt-Ltd
Dostoevsky’s ‘Crime and Punishment’ is a rather hefty book, but it is sure to keep you turning the pages. It is the life of Raskolnikov, a young man and ex-student, and a crime he commits which leads to guilt and moral dilemmas.
Penguin
Another modern-day hit, ‘Cleopatra and Frankenstein’ is about two people - Cleo, a young artist, and Frank, a wealthy older man, who come together in a relationship and learn how to walk through the problems of life.
Fourth-Estate
A book with extremely mixed reviews, ‘The Secret History’ is one that many hail as a modern classic. It is the story of students from an elite and rather prestigious school, and how one murder changes their worldviews and life.
PENGUIN-UK
A dystopian novel that feels eerily relevant, ‘1984’ is one that will surely snap people out of their reading slump. The story of Big Brother and his surveillance feels chilling, to say the least and grips people till the end.

A perfect book if you need something truly unputdownable, ‘And Then There Were None’ is about ten strangers who are invited to a mysterious island, and what happens next is best known with the book.

A warm, wholesome story, ‘A Man Called Ove’ is a touching novel that will surely end your reading slump and leave you with an urge to read more of Backman’s work.

Another beautiful story, ‘Before the Coffee Gets Cold’ is set in a small cafe where when you sit on a particular seat, you can travel in time, but have to return before the coffee turns cold.
