My love for books first began as a pre-schooler when my mom read to me every night before bed. I would doze off lost in my world of talking animals, glistening treasures, and thieving goblins.

Over the years, this love would only grow and I’d go on to read more than 400 books across different genres — primarily fantasy, mystery, classics, self-help, and philosophy.

Yesterday, an interesting question popped up in my mind — “If I was forced to read only a few books for the rest of my life, which ones would I choose?”, and the answer was far from easy.

What do I choose? The most insightful books, the ones that have been the most life-changing, the most educative, or the most captivating ones?

After much deliberation, I included a few of each, and I am certain that I’ll never tire of this well-rounded motley of books. Here they are in no particular order.
