Stuck between too many books and end up reading none?

Choosing what to read next often matters more than the book itself. When attention, mood, and form align, reading stops feeling like effort. Here are some simple ways to decide with more clarity and less friction.

Save it for later and tell us what you’re reading right now in the comments!

We fully support browsing with no intention to buy. The books, however, are very persuasive. One glance turns into a pause, a pause into a flip through pages, and suddenly you’re carrying it like it’s always belonged to you.

Some books are constantly in circulation, spoken about until they begin to feel familiar even before they’re read. Others sit just outside that loop. You recognise their names, know they matter, maybe even intend to read them someday, but they keep getting postponed.

This list is for those books. Not hidden or obscure, just less visible in the usual conversations.

If this kind of reading speaks to you, we’d be happy to share more. And if any of these feel like the right place to begin, DM us — we can have a copy delivered to you across India 📦

All the Way to the River is Elizabeth Gilbert’s most intimate and vulnerable work yet.

It follows a journey shaped by love, loss, sobriety, grief and eventual liberation, written through the lens of someone learning to rebuild their interior world one quiet moment at a time. Unlike her previous books, this one moves fluidly between forms. It includes her own drawings, poems, handwritten journal excerpts and fragments of memory that trace how she found her way back to herself after losing her partner Rayya and stepping into 12-step recovery.

Gilbert writes with startling clarity about the discipline of staying present, the tenderness of living through grief without numbing it and the courage required to let go of identities and stories that no longer hold.

DM us to get your copy of All the Way to River now. We ship across India.

A reading habit rarely begins with discipline. It begins with a moment you keep aside for yourself. Ten minutes can slow the mind and bring you back to clarity.

If you’re building the habit this month, start with one page and pick something to read today.

‘HAMLET REALIZED THAT HE WAS LIVING IN HIS DREAMS. INDEED, HE HAD ACCIDENTALLY STEPPED INTO THE WORLD’S GREATEST PROFESSION.”

Piyush Mishra’s life has never followed a script. From a turbulent childhood in Gwalior to his years of artistic rebellion at the National School of Drama, and his complicated journey through fame, betrayal, addiction and self-sabotage, Mishra has always lived at the crossroads of despair and brilliance.

In Tumhari Auqaat Kya Hai, Piyush Mishra, a story resounding with dark humour and lyrical rage, he holds nothing back. Through his alter ego Santap Trivedi, also known as Hamlet, Mishra presents a brutally honest self-portrait-of a man grappling with the weight of expectations, the intoxication of celebrity life, the poignant struggle of relationships and the lifelong, restless pursuit of meaning through art.

Raw, unsettling and electric, this is a memoir unlike any other-it is a howl against conformity and a testament to survival. It is an ode to a life well-lived, in style.

There are days when we scroll endlessly and retain almost nothing. A short read can be a pause, a shift, a small moment of clarity, one complete thought instead of scattered fragments.

Reading is not simply consuming but realigning. It brings us back to attention and to ourselves, even briefly.
Try choosing one essay this week and let it replace a scroll.
