Books to read before you die
I have tried to include a lot of different kinds of books to select according the mood you are in.
Take your pick from the books that can add something to your life. I am adding stories to meet the target But I assure you they are all worth it. I have tried to be concise without revealing too much.

1. The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Suffice to say - Must read.
2. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. This is the magnum opus of Ayn Rand. Must read after Fountainhead.
3. India after Gandhi by Ram Chandra Guha. Excellent book to know the problems our leaders faced and overcame after independence to keep India a thriving democracy.
4. Tinderbox: The Past and Future of Pakistan by M J Akbar
If India is discussed Pakistan cannot be left out of discussion. This book highlights what Pakistan lacks that India has that makes it easier for democracy to work in India while Pakistan seems to be a nation owned by the military.
