Do you always read from a planned reading list?

The Reading List by Sara Adams is an easy yet very interesting read. The story is about the mysterious reading list that brings Mukesh and Aleisha together.  Mukesh is an old man who has lost his wife and Aleisha is an aspiring lawyer, who works at a nearby library for the summer. I liked Aleisha a lot as she is a sweet girl who helps Mukesh read books and befriends him. The book comprises nine parts, each part’s title is a book from the list, and each part has about a few chapters describing the life of the characters in the book. It reiterates the fact that a book can uplift a person from whatever problems one is going through as it takes us to a totally different world.
The best part about the book is the reading list. Both Mukesh and Aleisha read the books and have a yearning to discuss some points. I have read all the books on the list except for the last book. An added joy at the end is the author's note, where she gives a list of a few more books.
We meet people daily, but do we even know what happens in their life? We might daily meet the guard, a doctor, or a teacher. It is only sometimes that we get to know about it. Library member Mukesh and the librarian Aleisha meet and develop a mutual bond and I found that beautiful.
Sometimes it is difficult to find people of the same wavelength. We may read books but what we read may not appeal to others and sometimes we might be surrounded by people who do not read at all.  Very rarely do we come across people who read books which we like. We can read books, but we enjoy it more when we read and then discuss them with someone who has read them too. We might not agree on every point but that’s what a book is, many times my perspective might not be the same as yours.
All book lovers who are inquisitive to learn and to know what this reading list is must read this book. It is a sweet tale!
