Thank you Vibhuti for nominating me for the #bookbucketchallenge. Something Im quite willing to participate in, in the hope that someone finds a good read, or I come across one :) Here are the ones that first came to mind, with a short description of the relatively lesser known ones: 1) Harry Potter Series- JK Rowling 2) Hobbit & LOTR- JRR Tolkien 3) 1984 & Animal Farm- George Orwell 4) Illusions & Jonathan Livingston Seagull- Richard Bach (some ideas which left quite an impact, short reads and quote-worthy too :) ) 5) Selfish Gene- Richard Dawkins (changed my perspective on evolution) 6) Calvin & Hobbes- Bill Watterson 7) Predictably Irrational- Dan Ariely (on how we think we make decisions, and how we really do!) 8) The Art and Science of Prediction- Nate Silver (on forecasting, personally understood Bayesian thinking only after this) 9) Dan Brown series, up till before The Lost Symbol 10) The Last Lecture- Randy Pausch (A CMU professors last lecture on Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams during his battle against cancer. Heres the video if anyones interested https://youtube/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo ) Would love to know the favorites of some book-lovers I know- Saumya Kapoor, Abhishek Srivastava, Apoorva Goyal, Priyank Jaini, Sonali Gupta, Richika Sharan, Maharshi Ray. Other names come to mind, but I know for a fact they havent read 10 books :D
