Books All Pakistanis Should read

hey guys..😊

seems so long since ive made a post on psf....well i dont know about many of u guys on this forum but i love reading books...espicially about peoples views on our culture....so i thought why not start a topic which lists books we have all read about our asian culture....prefrablly pakistani ( so no harry potter on the list 😛) ...tell us if u recommend them...and if you dont...and a reason as to why.....as the time goes on i shall increase the list....but i have admit sadly there are very few books out there on pakistani culture...theres more on islam...

A Map Of Lovers - Nadeem Aslam...its basically about love marriages in pakistani culture and so forth...i h8ed it i read only the irst two chapters and regreted purchasing it..its very discriptive..somethin for the english lit student or something....

The Princess Triology - Jean Sasson.. this is a book on the life of a arabian princess, i loved all three books sadly its not about pakistani culture but there are definatly refrences to it...its more on who arab treats its women and stuff..alot of cross reference to islam which makes me angry..

Sold, A Promise To Nadia- Andrew Crofts....amazing book definatly brings tears to my eyes...it true life story of two sisters who where sold of by there father to marry iranin men and how they wrnt treated nicely..treated likemodern day slaves...

Londonstani - Gautam Malikani....AMAZING BOOK... well actully i have no idea i read the first chapter then ma bro nicked it of me after reading the first page...its so funny a must for as typical british asian people to read...the language is so streeeet man...lol...a book to do with growing up as asian in the UK..

Plnety more if u guys have any add em on....il read some more and pass on details...😳

wow thanks mate i am defo gona read

thnkyou sid... will def read them 😳 ...

Thnks biatchali!!!! I -love reading as well :) .. I read "Sold, A Promise To Nadia" absolutely loved it!!!! .. thnks for others.. I would try to get my hands on em!

I would definetly recommend the book " A thousand Splendid Sun" by Khalid Hosseini, Its really a great book, I have just started reading it and just cant seem to put it down... it about a 40 year old man who marries a 15 years old afghan girl and then after eighteen years he marries an 18 year old girl, the whole story is basically about how they both escape from the abusive husband and how a woman can change her life as well as lives of others...

I would also recommend " The Kite Runner" by the same author.. He is really amazing!

I would try to find and read them.

thanks for mentioning all these books.I love to read
i will try to find these books. Have u heard about Tresspassing by Uzma Aslam Khan i heard alot about this book well actually i bought it today while reading reviews i think it's about Cultural and Ethinic conflicts.

i read The Kite Runner and still have to read Khalid Houssaini's new book. i really liked The Kite Runner. there was one book about iranian girl. the book was okay. it wasnt so bad, the title of the book was ANAHITA, A Woven Riddle. Do let me know some others Asian books cuz i love to read. and these days i am free. oh i remember another about an indian girl. Black Koyal, Mango Sweet or something like that.

Are this all books in enhlish or in urdu language?Letters Language?
