Why is Reading the Most Popular in Bangalore?

 “To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.” — W. Somerset Maugham

Reading is an acquired habit. We start young and almost immediately we assume books to be the learning object. As we grow, we find out it is much more than that. Reading is not necessarily an academically related activity. It serves many different purposes and sometimes a fun one too. Gone are the days where book worms and book nerds were considered the introverts of the society. They are also the most regular people and Bangalore has embraced them in a more welcoming way compared to others.

We all know Bangalore for its lively night life, with the young and vibrant spending their evenings in a club, dancing to loud music. But now parties have a new trend, ever heard of Bring Your Own Book (BYOB) Party? Yes, a meetup club in Bangalore invites people for interesting conversations about any book that everyone would love and see what others are reading.

Also, a recent trend of emerging book cafes suggests that Bangalorian’s prefer a coffee break with a book by their side to take their mind off stress. Nevertheless, a book is a perfect companion and a pleasure to escaping reality and getting immersed in a different world

Although digitally enormous variety of content is available at any time of day, and the material is available in a number of formats and through a range of digitally connected devices an Internet and Technology Research Centre, surveys have proved that when people reach for a book, it is much more likely to be a traditional print book than a digital product. This trend has remained unchanged from the year 2012.

1   To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee

The most unforgettable novel from our school days. A timeless classic set in the sleepy Alabama town of Maycomb during the period of great depression (1929-1939). It teaches various important lessons in a subtle tone. Atticus Finch one of the main protagonists takes a courageous stand against racism and decides to fight a battle for a wrongly convicted person. Scout, Jem, and Dill provide a comic relief in rather busy and scary circumstances. It often reminds the good old days we once spent on summer vacations and school days

1   Harry Potter Series – J.K. Rowling

We boarded the Hogwarts Express along with Harry Potter and his friends in 1997 and reached our destination only in 2007. J.K. Rowling managed to keep us hooked for 10 years (not including the movie world). The magical school world of Harry made our school days extra special. It is a total package from our favorite teacher to the least favorite and the friends we make for life and the way our dreams shape up into reality. Our school life is simply “mischief managed”

1The Adventures of Tom Sawyer – Mark Twain

Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn, precocious twelve-year-old children out in the world for adventure. This book is a great American classic. The boys are adventurers, dreamers, tricksters in simple they sum up the phase of “Boyhood”. The trouble makers keep us laughing and guessing what their antics will lead to. This book reminds people of the hay days often.

1The Great Gatsby – F. Scott Fitzgerald

A great classic from the jazz age, a perfect look into the 1920’s in America. The Great Gatsby showcases his world through his rose tinted glasses but behind those glasses he goes through every emotion a normal human being does. He is a dreamer and he is relatable to every teen who looks forward to a life with no struggle and only celebrations. The novel eventually shatters the tinted glass and sees right through deception.

1 Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

The story is set in the Victorian era and it is a perfect thriller. It has probably one of the most unimaginable twists and turns. The novel though set in the 19^th century it has some progressive thoughts for the age. The tale has a balance of love, suspense, thriller and laughter perfectly balanced. The title character Jane Eyre, despite going through so much in life still shows perseverance and the will to move forward. It is a classic read.

Read them and get the glimpse of the world we once lived in. Pass it on to the younger generation to let them see the world they live, through a different glass.
