My journey with non-fiction books and self-help books started in 2010. When I was recommended The Secret by the office librarian. There are ample options available when it comes to reading some best non-fiction books. In this blog, I going to share my list of the best non fiction books to read in English. But before that, let me share my story as a bookworm.
I have been a reader since childhood but my reading was limited to magazines, Reader’s digest, Comics like Archie’s, Twinkle, etc. The most memorable books from my childhood and teenage years were Nancy drew, which would captivate my attention so much that I would finish the book in 1 ½ – 2 hours flat. Gokulam– earlier, they used to have a collection of small stories (Most of my 90’s Tamil readers would recognize and remember it) and Jeffery Archer’s- Kane and Abel. Given to me by my cousin, I remember reading that over and over again till the book finally wore out.
Books are like food for your soul. If you are not a reader, then there are some best books to start your reading habit. I have been a fan of good nonfiction books since I discovered “The Secret“. I have a good collection of best selling non fiction books.
Most successful people are avid readers and can read for hours together. They get so engrossed in the book that they forget the time. So, to ignite the reading habit, next time pick up a book instead of the phone to check your social media handles. There are many platforms/ sources available to give you the finest book recommendations. Slowly, like me, you can also make a small library with fiction or nonfiction books to read.
Today, I am going to share 5 must read Non Fiction Books that might open up your knowledge well. These are a few of the best non fiction books of the 21st century and are my favorites.
