I'm stuck at home for quite a while due to an injury and really need to keep my brain as active as possible! It's been a long time since I've read a book that I just can't put down and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations?
Thanks!Can anyone recommend any 'life changing' books? The sort that you just can't put down?A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth is a truly incredible book - one of the greatest novels of the 20th century. And at over 1,400 pages it's also one of the longest! It follows the lives of several Indian families in the 1950s (i.e. a few years after Partition) as they interact over the course of one year. A simple premise, but the characterisation is phenomenal. It took me months to wade through it (somewhat sporadically, it has to be said) but if you are stuck at home then I sincerely recommend giving it a go.
For a shorter book, still based (initially) in India, try The Impressionist by Hari Kunzru - one of my favourite books. It's about the life of a mixed-race boy born in India in the 1920s and what happens after his illegitimacy is discovered and he is kicked out out of his home town.
Unicorn Road by Martin Davies is a nice simple read; it's a new release and although it's easy to read, it's also got some wonderful storytelling and moves along briskly.
If you haven't read the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman, I heartily recommend them, especially since you'll have time to read all three in a row! The individual novels are Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass, in that order. Technically they're for children, but the themes and concepts are extremely adult and very thought-provoking.
