Which book are you reading now?
The last book I read is 'The Nexus' by Yuval Noah Harari . This book discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) has progressed in the development of human civilization, how it has affected society and what its possible form may be in the future .
What is your favorite fiction?
So far, it is 'Madhavi'. I was interested in trends in human society around the world. This book has a story that will appeal to people with such an interest. It is a story of Mahabharata, in which a different kind of story is presented based on certain characters . 'Madhavi' is a work written at a very high level. It may seem a bit complicated to read. But it is very interesting .
What is your favorite non-fiction?
Harvard University professor Dr. My favorite non-fiction book of all time is Who We Are and How We Got Here by David Rike. This book presents a profound story about human community and society. Especially in South Asia, the history of Indian population and diversity has been explained in a simple and effective manner. My own interest is in genetics and I still love this book. It presents human history in an easy way.
Is there a recent book you haven't read? There are many books like
. There are books in Nepali as well. Among the recently released books, two books by Sudhir Sharma, "Bhikshu, Business and Rebellion: Nepal's Vote-China Relations and India" and "Himalapariko Huri: Changes in Nepal-China Relations after the Republic" are interesting to read.
Likewise, I have a great interest in Manmohan Vikram Singh's 'Jaljala'. I heard about 10-15 years ago that 'Jaljala' is coming out . I am particularly interested in this book because I know about the love affair between Jaljala and Mohan Vikram Singh. There are many other such books to be read. Reading
fiction or non-fiction?
reading, writing and teaching profession, my interest in that is mostly about history and culture, so my recommendation can be one side . So my recommendation may lean more towards non-fixation. Readers can search for books according to their interest. When I recommend a number, David Rike's 'Who We Are and How We Got Here' and Tom Haim's 'The World Before Us' are .
BP Koirala's 'autobiography' in Nepali, which tells the story of the struggle for democracy by the leadership of Nepali society at that time. Janaklal Sharma's 'Our Society: A Study' is also good . 'Madhavi' is my favorite fixation so far and I also recommend it .
