So at the end of 2016, we thought to look back and think about the best books we read in 2016. And here we present the list of Top 5 books of 2016.

1. The Road Less Traveled By M.Scott Peck.

The New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values, and Spiritual Growth, this book is the ultimate favorite of 2016.

Extracting from his professional experience of Psychotherapy Dr. M.Scott Peck recommends the way to a road which is less travelled, the path in which one face difficulties and sufferings of their life. But this way also leads us to a better understanding of ourselves, a better understanding of life.

2. Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte.

This book has to be my favorite novel of the year.  Full of passion, love, envy, betrayal and revenge this book is one of kind  I have ever read.

The epic story of the love of Heathcliff and Catherine, in which they both came together in a romance which destroyed them and all those around them.

So gothic and dark that I hated the characters but at the same time fell in love with all of them. Not only the book is grey but the emotions it evolves while reading it was also grey. I loved this book and would recommend every novel reader to read this book at least once.

3. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.

Another dark novel, full of suspense, this book spellbound me from the beginning. It was arduous to keep this book aside, and I abruptly got enslaved in the Nick and Amy’s  world. The thrill and suspense that it created made me crave to read more.

“There are two sides to every story.” And here we read sides of Amy and Nick’s story of their marriage, an unsuccessful story of love and revenge I loved how the events unfold in the story.

4. To Kill  A Mockingbird By Harper Lee.

An incident of racial discrimination witnessed and narrated by young Scout, this book is fun to read. The innocence of Scout, her curiosity add gaiety to the book which raises a serious issue with it.

5. Jaya, An illustrated retelling of Mahabharata By Devdutt Pattanaik.

The retelling of the great Indian epic ‘Mahabharata’ this book explains the true meaning of Jaya and Vijaya. ‘Vijaya’ about which we usually see on television versions of Mahabharata and ‘Jaya’ the bonafide nub of Mahabharata.
