style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picking up the right book when you are just a beginner is essential. If you are willing to start reading a book, appreciate themes like soft romance, and come across Wuthering Heights, do you think you will be able to finish the entire novel and then pick up another? No! You must be wondering why.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, because picking up heavy reads when you are not used to reading is unwise! Wuthering Heights is undoubtedly the best read ever, but it doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be the one for you. Now, the question that arises is: What are the best books to read for beginners?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t worry, we have answered this question in detail. Scroll down!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Books_to_Read_for_Beginners\"><\/span><strong>10 Books to Read for Beginners<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although there are thousands of books to read for beginners, we have tried to cover 10 books!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Alchemist\"><\/span><strong>The Alchemist<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does it ever happen that you start believing in the theory of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Secret: <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the world acts as a genie to your wishes? But when you work to achieve it, your life is suddenly teeming with a plethora of roadblocks.

It revolves around a boy who confessed his love too late. But don\u2019t worry, the book has a positive ending! Because it\u2019s Durjoy Datta, he never disappoints his readers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, if you love reading romance novels, pick any Durjoy Datta book; though we\u2019d recommend starting with this book first.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Diary_of_a_Young_Girl\"><\/span><strong>The Diary of a Young Girl<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">World Wars may have become history now, but their impact still rests in people\u2019s hearts and minds. So, do the lives of jews in the concentration camp! The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank is the best book you can pick if you wish to read about what happened during World War II with the Jews; their struggles and fears. Anne Frank was a Jew who wrote about her real-life experience. Unfortunately, she died in the concentration camp, but her diary became worldwide famous.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Swami_and_Friends\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Swami and Friends<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growing up, some people used to believe that Malgudi is a real town, especially those who are well-versed in R.K. Narayan\u2019s books. His books are detailed, humorous, and demonstrate village life in a way that you relate to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swami and Friends is also a book that depicts the life of a notorious boy, his struggles, and the value of friendship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Room_on_the_Roof\"><\/span><strong>The Room on the Roof<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this book, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">suffocated protagonist<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> runs away from his house, breaking free from the shackles imposed by his English Guardian. Although his life becomes a rollercoaster ride, he learns a lot about himself. He eventually returns home with his friend to start afresh.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_Kill_a_Mockingbird\"><\/span><strong>To Kill a Mockingbird<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Racism and casteism have always cost people their sanity, stolen their right to justice, and questioned humanity. And this isn\u2019t even fictional; the issue persists. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee has a similar story. It questions if being black is a crime, as in this book, a black man is arrested due to a bogus rape case, despite being proven innocent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_White_Tiger\"><\/span><strong>The White Tiger<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga is a masterpiece that is written based on the themes of casteism. The book demonstrates corruption and how the upper class oppresses the poor. It\u2019s the story of a young boy who was born into a poor family and has always been a victim of caste discrimination. The book revolves around how, from being nothing to becoming a businessman in Bangalore, he changed his destiny with wit and intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Animal_Farm\"><\/span><strong>Animal Farm<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People often talk about changing the government, corruption, equality, and how their rights are being demeaned. But have you ever wondered what would happen if you gave a chance to bring equality to these very same people, and they started acting like the ones they were complaining about in the first place? Everything will go back to square one. Right? George Orwell wrote Animal Farm with the same intent; it\u2019s just, the people were replaced by animals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_The_Palace_of_Illusions\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<strong>The Palace of Illusions<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growing up, almost all of us have seen Mahabharat on television or heard stories about it. So, what do people generally talk about when they allude to this epic? Perhaps how Shakuni helped Duryodhan, or how Krishna assisted the Pandavas, or how Draupadi\u2019s words caused the entire conflict. But how many of you have seen people talking about the feelings of Draupadi, her struggles, the betrayal she felt, embarrassment? Probably a few! So, if you ever wish to read about Draupadi\u2019s perspective, pick The Palace of Illusions by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Fault_in_Our_Stars\"><\/span><strong>The Fault in Our Stars\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you watched The Fault in Our Stars or the Indian Adaptation Dil Bechara? If yes, then you probably know the storyline, but if you haven\u2019t, try reading the book first. It\u2019s a beautiful story about love, loss, and lifelong illness. Although the protagonist dies at the end and you will bawl your eyes out, the story will stay with you forever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also, check\u00a0 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/bfcpublications.com\/blog\/top-10-books-to-read-for-students\/\">Top 10 Books to Read for Students<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"On_a_Parting_Note\"><\/span><strong>On a Parting Note<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the best book to read is never easy; you might not like the story, or there\u2019s a possibility that you absolutely fall in love with it.
