Recommended reading(for the beginners, only.)

Here I give a list of books and authors that I’ve read and found very interesting. These, I feel shall help you develop the reading habit to begin with, and improve your reading comprehension in general. The ultimate results may vary based on ‘how much’ reading you actually do everyday. I advise you to read a lot, not just the ones given here, but other books and authors and most importantly newspaper-editorials and magazines(both political and general).
