This one for you The Caves of Steel
Happy reading.

Thanks, Jasleen! I'll go with Release.
As for my pick, read Harbart. I don't know how easy to locate a translation will be, or how much will be lost between languages, but it's a great book nonetheless.

Hi Cy,

Happy reading to u too...

Hi Tanaya,
You have given the link to your entire TBR shelf which has in excess of 650 books. It would be a good idea to narrow it down to books that you would get around to read immediately or books that you already own but are yet to be read. That is my criterion for this shelf. Or you can think of some other criteria. Would recommend you to create a shelf. If you think that is too much work, will pick something from ur TBR.

Thanks

Hi Ananjan, since you didn't share your shelf, I picked one from your TBR - Truth, Love and a little malice by Khushwant Singh.
Looking forward to reading your review of this one.
Happy Reading.

Thanks for choosing. I have an english translation of Herbert with me. I will surely pick it up.

@Smriti, Thank you for the choices.

You can read

When breath becomes air, I see you chose this for me, it'll be interesting to compare notes.

or

The hard thing about hard things, I have read this book and it is a very practical guide to taking better decisions when all your options are bad.

If you want to read Fiction, The fault in our stars is a nice book.

Thanks Mittul,

Will pick up when breath becomes air and try to read the other one as well

Look forward to exchange notes :)
