The Chennai Book Club discussion

Hello Everyone !!!

I'm kinda new towards reading tamil books (haven't started earlier because it used to take up a long time for me to finish one)...

nd I'm looking for some (unpopular or underrated) book recommendations...

please do suggest books that are quiet suitable for young tamil readers...

by the way is there any YA kinda books in tamil (not a translation one but rather a real one) if so do suggest em too

Happy reading :)

I think anything by Kalki would fall into the young adult segment. I myself read it when I was young and the language was simple and easy to read.

Hey thanks for that recommendation...
amar Kalki's works are already in my tbr...

is there any specific book (tamil) that you would recommend for YA ?

I read lot of Rajeshkumar Novels (thriller series featuring Vivek ) when I was YA . Also some of Sunatha’s work might interest teenagers . Such as ஆ, கொலையுதிர் காலம்.

Hey, these are my recommendations for each genre. All of them are easy and good quality reads and suitable for youngsters.

அறம் - ஜெயமோகன் : சிறுகதை தொகுப்பு
வேள்பாரி - சு.வெங்கடேசன் : வரலாற்று புனைவு
பேட்டை - தமிழ்ப்பிரபா : சமகால இலக்கியம் (contemporary)
ரூஹ் - லட்சுமி சரவணகுமார் (Paulo Coelho type book)
நைலான் கயிறு - சுஜாதா (குற்றப் புனைகதை )
எங்கள் கானா - Thangavelu, Hariharasuthan: அறிவியல் (இஸ்ரோவின் கதை )
பெண் ஏன் அடிமையானாள் - பெரியார் : அரசியல்
வெக்கை - பூமணி : சமூகவியல் புனைவு (அசுரன் திரைப்பட மூலக்கதை )
கா square - சரவண கணேஷ் (எ) கொழந்த : பறவையியல் (ornithology with lot of beautiful pictures :-) )
நேனோ ஓர் அறிமுகம் Nano An Introduction - Narasimhan, Arunn : நவீன தொழில்நுட்பம் )

For Kalki books, u can start with பொன்னியின் செல்வன்

Hey i've read some of rajeshkumar's novels,but since i'm pretty much new to everything i don't know about thriller novels featuring vivek (i've just read some random ones) , (if possible let me know some titles so that i can try to keep track of it and is it more like that of agatha christie's hercule poirot if so i'll be pretty much happy if i can find a list to read in order).

nd do you mean sujatha ? or if there's an author named sunatha please let me know some titles by them as i'm not able to find it.

Hey thanks for the recommendations but to be honest some of the genres you shared are kinda out of my zone (at least as of now)....I'm in search of more light hearted or books dealing with light topics....

If someone know any fantasy kinda books

or

some underrated gems in your collections do share em


thanks !!!
