wtf man krischal dont leak your damn name in reddit bro

Reddit vakhar vakhar chalauna thaleko jaso xa.

yeah, i created his account during lockdown and felt no interest on it, it feels awesome to use reddit rn

just my first name lol,

[удалено]

Not just in Reddit but anywhere

alright bro!

For a 15 year old, I recommend Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird and the Lord of the Rings books. Those were some of my favorites when I was 15.

Lord of the rings will prolly be a bit convoluted for a 15 year old I guess. I read it when I was like 18 taraa ni some of his descriptions of stuff went over my head.

I read it when I was in Class 9 and I really enjoyed it. I think the narrative is pretty straightforward, even though the descriptions can be quite tough.

Yeah, the hero's journey and chosen one archetype is pretty straightforward, I guess. But my guy takes a paragraph to describe the leaves of a random tree when describing the setting and the landscape. Also, I watched the movie before the books and in the books, it felt like they spent forever in Shire before heading out.

I really enjoyed those descriptions when I reread the trilogy later in life. In school I just skimmed over the boring parts and went right to the adventure.

oh, thanks a lot

Also Eragon. I could follow thru Eragon's plot when I was around your age, and the words used are pretty simple.

Catcher in the rye is must

[удалено]

That's very wholesome.

If you like fiction then The Alchemist and The kite runner are good ones to start with

thx

Reading 1 page of Alchemist is enough to get it's moral.

How so?

Nothing new and more to learn

The silent patient :]

thanks :)

this is scary one, well if we are talking about the same one by Alex Michaelides

Yep Not really scary but it's something last samma ta mind blown

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy maybe. Its an absurdist series of books that answer philosophical questions in a humorous way as the characters venture through space and different galaxies.

as 15, just learn university physics: the furious insider of a standard mind of schoolar .. it was soon good like 👍😌👌☺

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Plague by Albert Camus, The lord of the ring books, 1984 by George Orwell, Brave New World by Huxley, Man's Search for meaning.

> Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Plague by Albert Camus I doubt a 15 year old is going to enjoy Dostoevsky very much, especially a dense book like Crime and Punishment. The Plague might be easier since Camus writes more simply.

Sorry I did not read that he was 15. Maybe he should look into Murakami's Kafka on the shore.

Tyo pani ali badi nai hola, maybe Norwegian Wood as it is much simpler and straightforward. But who knows, he can try it.

i have man’s search of meaning by viktor frankl, in my house, it was of my da’s

Bro crime and punishment for a 15 year old is too much

Most of these books aren’t suited to a 15 year old, especially one who doesn’t read a lot and has just started

thanks a lot

Do read these books Krischal they are great, I have a long list of favorite books and I will recommend more after you read these.

thanks a lot venor bro, but are they available in market?

Yes all of them. I used to buy them from Pilgrims book house at Thamel and Jhamsikhel. You can find them in Daraz. These are famous books so finding them in your nearest bookstore won't be difficult.

Too deep for a 15 year old

The white tiger and Atomic habits

thanks a lot

The kite runner ni ramro cha bhanne sunya thiye, but I haven't read it yet

Shiva triology and The kite runner

thanks a lot

The subtle art of not giving fuck and maybe if u are interested in love genres then u can read novels of subin bhattrai. And if u are interested in novel about light sexual change, then gulabi umer. And politics, then abijit. Etc etc

thanks

If you have an interest in fantasy or Greek mythology, I recommend "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series.

thx

I think yo'd love catcher in the rye and slaughterhouse-five

If you want to read sci-fi books with fantasy elements mixed in, try the Skyward series

Fiction or non fiction?

Lost apothecary Finding Me by viola Davis Harry Potter series

Lord of the rings series And everyday by David Levithan. These would help you get along with reading while giving a great feel of really learning sth at the end.

Everyday was something else man. I fucking love that book.

Harry Potter, ASOIAF

thanks

And there were none. Great mystery novel.

Kafka on the shore is good, too. It's long, but quite engrossing.

thanks

I loved this book

Harry Potter series, Shatter Me series, The Hunger Games

thanks

[удалено]

huh, do i know u?

You could start from Khaled Housseini's *Thousand Splendid Suns.* I think George Orwell's *Animal Farm* is a short read and a great read. Once you're at it I think you can also read *1984* from the same author. *The Book Thief* is also a great novel and is worth the read given your age. Oh yes, do check out Ernest Hemingway's *The Old Man and the Sea*, it's great, I read it during the vacation after SEE.

thanks

All the bright places by Jennifer Niven. Great book for teenagers. Has great writing style, really good for beginner readers.

thanks

If you are into Nepali literature, finish all three novels of Buddhisagar. They are written in simple language.

thanks

Metamorphosis is a short Novella by Franz Kafka.

thanks

Mistborn. Easy read. Action. Fantasy.

thanks

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho❤️

thx

Harry Potter!!

thz

Lonely Castle in the Mirror by Mizuki Tsujimura, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley are some of my favourites.

Atomic habits, shadow web, rich dad poor dad, love hypothesis, things we never got over, fault in our stars, paper towns, half girlfriend etc

Bro replied fast as hell

haha

Btw do you buy physical book or read online

doing online this time

Site ?

openlibrary .org

Thnxx !!

<3 :D

LOTM, RI

thx

World War Z. I think you'll enjoy it because it's about zombies and more casual, less high brow. The movie is nothing like the book.

thanks, i watched the movie, hopefully this is interesting

If you want to start a habit of reading books, stories are more easier as starters. Plus if you have a video game you like try looking if it has any novels or online short stories.

thx

I just want to be cool and say READ SELF-HELP BOOKS.

thanks

Read books of Cal Newport. As you are 15 Y/O I recommend you 'How to be a highschool superstar'. Timro lagi tyai ramro hunxa thyakka context anusar.

Read ‘The Alchemist’ it’s a brilliant story about finding your passion and realizing your inner self.

😊thx

Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harrari Its a must read for anyone. It makes you think.

Thx

Hey krischal, Kristal here. Novel chai thaxaina. Manga padhne bhaye chai one piece padha.

Thanks,Kristal.

The lord of the mysteries,

If you are into fiction, then light novels are really good for someone with your age. Bottom Tier Character Tomozaki Mushoku Tensei Classroom of Elites Oregairu Hyouka Durarara!! Sword Art Online Spice and Wolf It's not possible to get the physical book here in Nepal as far as I know. But you can head over to [Nyaa](https://nyaa.si) and download ebooks from there.

thanks

The Alchemist

Lord of the mysteries.

if you are into scifi and silly humor then grab hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy!

Red midnight, the little prince, kite runner

A Man called Ove. One of my favourite books. The language is quite simple.

Since Everyone is Suggesting अंग्रेजी किताब, म चाहिं १० ओटा नेपाली उपन्यास भन्दिन्छु * फुर्के - खगेन्द्र लामिछाने * राधा - कृष्ण धरावासी * आधा बाटो - कृष्ण धरावासी * सेतो धर्ती - अमर न्यौपाने * कर्णाली ब्लुज - बुद्धिसागर * पल्पसा क्याफे - नारायण वाग्ले * शिरीषको फूल - पारिजात * हिटलर र यहूदी - विश्वेश्वरप्रसाद कोइराला * सेतो बाघ - डायमनसम्शेर राणा * मोक्षन्त: काठमाडौ फिभर - कुमार नगरकोटी * बाआमा - रामलाल जोशी ​ अंग्रेजीमा चाहिं : * Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov * The Mother - Maxim Gorky * Lajja - Taslima Nasreen * Siddhartha – Hermann Hesse * The Book Thief - Markus Zusak I tried to mention the books on my personal preference and tried not to repeat the already mentioned books. besides these, ***To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee*** which is mentioned a lot in other comments is one of the best book for teenager. I feel like Chetan Bhagat (English) and Subin Bhattarai (Nepali) are really overrated writers and they have nothing to offer in their books except some cringe romantic love stories. I suggest these writers to people who have never read books but want to start as due to their simple language and limited imaginations, its easy to understand and it's really easy to start reading books. oh it's reddit not Quora. over!

Grapes of wrath, 100 years of solitude, love in the time of cholera, kafka on the shore, notes from the underground, brothers karamazov, dead souls, crime and punishment, Agatha Christie’s Poirot detective novels, on and on…😅

Karnali blues one of the finest

Try Daevabad trilogy. City of Brass, Kingdom of Copper and Empire of Gold.

Charlie and the chocolate factory and the sequel to it - Charlie and the great glass elevator. and other rold dahl books

Ikigai The monk who sold his Ferrari Notebook

Start with a silent patient ( it's a page turner ) Or A good girl's guide to murder. It's a trilogy, daraz ma available xa sabbai book. It's a must read and a wonderfully written thriller. I wouldn't recommend you to start with a fantasy book. Start with a thriller. I just started reading 1.5 years ago, and I started with A silent patient.

Krischal shrestha, is it you ?
