Reading 2021
In this episode, we bring you an episode from Unmarried Ideas (https://anchor.fm/sudarshan-poudel), where Sudarshan has talked about the books that he read in 2021.
Sudarshan says, "Despite everything books had my company for most of last year. I read some great books, re-read some favorites, and read some just to find out that they were not for me. In this podcast, I'll share with you my top 10 list of best books I read last year. These are not necessarily critically acclaimed books or highbrow literature. I'm just sharing the 10 amongst 90+ books that stayed with me the most. What are your reading plans for 2022 ?"
