Nepali Novels : Must Read 111 Books In Nepal
Nepali Novels
Nepali Novels : Overview
Nepali Novels are being written in large numbers these days.The news that a book has been made public can be read on social media. The pace of publication has become so fast that even online magazines that are updated every minute are unable to make the news public. This means that not only the number of book publications has increased, but also the reading culture is on the rise.
Writers are becoming celebrities in the market. And, Writing has earned their livelihood. Some time ago, it was like a daydream. Despite this, there are frequent complaints of poor quality of Nepali books. In Nepal, it has become a common practice to show faults in well-known, well-received and best-selling books of the year.
Such allegations are less likely to come from readers, more from the writers themselves, and more from critics. While readers are happily promoting authors and works on social media, critics seem to be eager to point out the book’s weaknesses.
To end this dilemma of the readers, online news prepared three questionnaires and asked some well-known writers, poets, journalists, critics and readers to write down the names of their favorite Nepali books. Here we have made public the names of 111 books that Nepali readers must read through the analytical method.
In this survey, we have divided the book into 10 parts and tried to find 11 best books in each field.
1) Nepali Novels To Understand Nepal
Many books on Nepali history, society and traditions are not well written. As much as was written, in foreign languages and foreign writers wrote with their own eyes. Accordingly, it has been alleged that the basis of political change in the country from general administrative policy is based on the interests of foreign experts and their interests.
The results of a book survey show that not many books have been written to explain Nepal’s political, social and cultural situation. However, this does not mean that such books have not been written in Nepali. Based on the recommendations made by experts, we have compiled the names of 11 books that must be read in Nepali language to understand Nepal.
That is not enough to understand Nepal. However, we believe that today’s generation will be able to get a glimpse of Nepal if they read these books.

Autobiography
Every famous person in the world has tried to write an autobiography. Justin Bieber, who became famous in Kalilai, has violated the standard of maturity in this genre by publishing an autobiography in just 21 years. In Nepal, however, the practice of writing autobiographies has gradually come into vogue.
Many good autobiographies should be written without hesitation and without knowing what the next generation will say. Now that thinking is gradually breaking down. However, this is not enough. A well-known author’s name is not considered a good autobiography in the survey. Autobiographies of some ordinary people have been recommended by critics and readers as excellent, while autobiographies of some famous people have not been recommended.

Nepali Novels For Youngsters
Today’s generation is considered the social network and YouTube generation. This generation is in a hurry and wants everything ready.

However, nowadays books are being published with a focus on teenagers and young people. Parents are in a dilemma as to which of these books to allow their children to read.
