The Nepali book market of 2024 was average. While non-fiction dominated in 2023, this year the publisher also launched fiction and essay books. However, they themselves say, 'The number of readers who read books is constantly decreasing, this is a matter of concern.'

This year, writer Sudhir Sharma got more buzz from non-fiction. His twin books 'Himalapariko Huri' and 'Bhikshu Trade and Rebellion' are also in the eyes of the readers in terms of subject and importance. In the book, the relationship between Nepal and China has been studied in a historical manner. Similarly, the 45-day journey of environmental journalist Ramesh Bhusal from Tibet to India's Ganga, 'Chalbato: Kailash to Ganga', is being discussed in the book market. From climate to forests, from dams to tigers, from the Dalai Lama to oppressed communities, the book is a reader's choice.

Hemant Mishra's 'Shri 5 Ko Sevama' was also released this year . The book covers the meeting of King Mahendra with Arna, the rhinoceros offering from King Birendra, the Khamba Rebellion and hippies in Kathmandu. Recently Durga Bahadur Gharti's 'Cultural Study' has come out. The book has raised the debate from the global tradition of cultural studies to the cultural awareness awakened in Nepali literature.

Journalist Ghanshyam Khadka's non-narrative 'Anandsamhita' has been published. Each chapter of the book has a simple but wonderful idea of ​​happiness and a method of using it. Journalist Dadi Sapkota brought 'Jeeva Gatha' in the year 24, which contains interesting facts about different habits, lifestyles and various activities of animals. On the anthropological account of cultural development, Suresh Dhalka's 'History before History' has also come into the market. The book, written far beyond the written history, has become a collectible for scholars. 'Adhura Kranti' based on the political biography of leader Rajendra Mahato, 'Avishranta Lakharlakhar', a dialogue book by Uday Adhikari on writer Khagendra Sangraula, did not get the expected discussion. Readers did not pay much attention to Sangraula's life as it was presented in different ways in different books. A reprint of Prada Jagdishchandra Regmi's rare book 'Lichchavi Culture' is a gift for history scholars. Ramji Upadhyay's 'History of Nepal Direction' has just been released. It can also be a good dose for scholars.

Kumar Bhattarai's '28 Years' based on the memory of the 'Jhapa Mutiny', Prof. Surya Subedi's biography 'Surya Subedi: From Mahavidyavaridhi to Nobel Peace Prize Nomination' also came out in the year 24 . Meena Acharya's autobiography 'Continuous journey of freedom and equality', ex-military secretary Rathi Vivek Kumar Shah's memoir 'Nepal as seen from Darbar' was released this year.

novel

Journalist Basant Basnet came up with the novel 'Simsara' with the story of regionalism and family conflicts in the eastern hills. The novel is preferred by readers because of the language and diction. 

Saraswati Pratishka came up with the novel 'Swa'. Although there is love for the Buddhist path in the original story, the novel searches for self-existence to know oneself. The book in sweet language did not get the expected discussion . Shailendra Adhikari's 'Arhat' based on Buddha's biography and 'Tathagata', a creator who holds Buddha's philosophy, was published. The story of Kiani, who entered the monastery at a young age, is in the novel. The fascination of these three writers seems to be focused on Buddhist philosophy and its dimensions.
