| Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel | Rolf Potts | 2.5 | Aug 2026 | A travel book written specifically for a white man from the first world, and one that's largely outdated for the current global travel landscape. |
| Masala Lab: The Science of Indian Cooking | Krish Ashok | 4 | Aug 2026 | |
| The Elephant, The Tiger, and the Cellphone | Shashi Tharoor | 2.5 | Apr 2026 | Generally enjoy reading Dr. Tharoor's readings, but this is not a book — it's a lazy collection of previously published editorials that keep repeating the same stuff over and over and are completely irrelevant over time. Poorly titled; should've rather been called Shashi Tharoor's opinions from the 2010s, since most are too outdated. |
| Unfolding: A Novel | Rahul Singh | 3.5 | Feb 2026 | |
| Lucknow Boy: A Memoir | Vinod Mehta | 4.25 | Feb 2026 | Absolutely loved Vinod Mehta's memoir. This was a book I picked up from my dad's shelf, and considering we have very different tastes in books for the most part, I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it :) |
| Sedated: How Modern Capitalism Created our Mental Health Crisis | James Davies | 3.75 | Feb 2026 | |
| Weapons of Math Destruction | Cathy O'Neil | 4.5 | Feb 2026 | Great read, though the author's perspective doesn't address the pros of WMD (or machine learning models) and how we can build better models that are more inclusive. |
| The Authenticity Project | Clare Pooley | 4 | Feb 2026 | |
| Stamford Hospital | Thammika Songkaeo | 3 | Jan 2026 | |
| Butter | Asako Yuzuki | 4 | Nov 2025 | Kajimana really takes you on a ride over the course of this book. You'll find yourself questioning your own moral compass, feeling absurd cravings for the food she describes, and cooking like you've never done before :) |
| Mother Mary Comes to Me | Arundhati Roy | 5 | Sep 2025 | Easily the best book I've read this year! A reminder that love in all forms is as complicated as it gets :) |

| The Day I Became a Runner | Sohini Chattopadhyay | 4 | Feb 2025 | Engaging read, especially as a female runner — it takes you through the journey of India's most legendary women runners and their lives while touching upon the history of women in India. |
| India in Love: Marriage and Sexuality in the 21st Century | Ira Trivedi | 4 | Feb 2025 | Great read — though over a decade old, most of the content is still very relevant, and the author seems to have accurately predicted the direction in which India and its youth are headed in terms of their ideas of love, sex and marriage. |
| Dying | John Hinton | 2 | Jan 2025 | |
| Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead | Sheryl Sandberg | 4 | Jan 2025 | |
| Sisterhood Economy: Of, By, For Wo(men) | Shaili Chopra | 3 | Nov 2024 | Nice anecdotal references and a great reminder of the different kinds of lives of Indian women. Some great food for thought, but doesn't drive home a strong point or narrative. |
| The Blind Watchmaker | Richard Dawkins | 2 | Nov 2024 | |
| Only Love Is Real: A Story of Soulmates Reunited | Brian L. Weiss | 2 | Nov 2024 | Truly disappointed with the author honestly. After Many Lives, Many Masters, expected higher from Brian Weiss. |
| How to Know a Person | David Brooks | 5 | Nov 2024 | Probably one of the best reads in a while — honest, practical advice on being a better friend and support system for everybody around you. Teaches you how to be an active listener, and how to make others feel heard and seen. |
| Mother Pious Lady: Making Sense of Everyday India | Santosh Desai | 3 | Sep 2024 | Starts off great with some super captivating musings on growing up in middle-class India, but then gets wobbly and hard to keep up with the points. |
