Iv been nominated by Arbu Aala Re for the #BookBucketChallenge, now its quite difficult to name only 10 books which influenced my life, but here it goes...in no ranking order ofcourse 1. A song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin-According to me, no other writer has this ability of portray true human instincts this beautifully. It taught me that good and bad, friend and foes, heroes and villains all resides in our hearts, its the circumstances that takes the toll. 2. Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle- Im deeply in love with mysteries and whodunnits, thanks to Sir Doyle, its a dream to write like him some day. 3. American Gods by Neil Gaiman- Gaiman taught me how to let your creative instincts take the control and how to shed your apprehensions. 4. Chandrakaanta Santati by Babu Devki Nandan Khatri- Fantasy at its best, with all the desi essence. Khatri ji was way ahead of his time in his writings. 5. Godaan by Munshi Premchand- I dont this Iv to say much about this master and his classic. 6. The other side of me by Sidney Sheldon- I read this biography when I was on the crossroads of being a rejected and unsuccessful artist/writer and planning to say I quit.....definitely the other side of me. 7. The Rock says by Dwayne Dwayne The Rock Johnson- In my hardest times this guy has been my inspiration(he is inspiring me even today and always will be) 8. Sin city by Frank Miller- Now this is what a true graphic novel should be, most of the other things are just gimmick. 9. A mid summer night dream by William Shakespeare-One of my all time favorite romances. 10. Mrityunjay by Shivaji Sawant- Again a classic and a book close to my heart. And now I nominate Sudhanshu Shekhar Trivedi, Spyke Head, Ajo Koshy, Avinash Tiwari, Anurag Kumar Singh, Mandaar Gangele, Vivek Goel and Vijayendra Mohanty for this challenge and to name 10 books which influenced them the most.
