Read my detailed review of the book here. There is a unique combination of humour, history, irony, emotions and feelings in this book, that only a writer of his caliber can deliver.

Mohammad shares with us a diary of a solder from the Indian subcontinent in the British army fighting World War II. I listened to the audio book of this one on audible and it’s one of my forever favourites for Urdu book recommendations. These two books are also my absolute favourite and always refresh me with their simplicity, hilarious plots and unforgettable characters. Himaqatein aur Mazeed Himaqatein by Shafeeq-ur-Rahman: Simple language, witty and hilarious! Patras Kay Mazameen is a series of short articles by Patras Bukhari that I absolutely love! This one definitely makes the list of must read Urdu books because it’s a classic! 2. And guess what I chose? Yes Urdu books! My mother is always a little disappointed in me when I refuse to take another Khaadi bedcover set back with me to Canada from Pakistan and fill my suitcases with books instead. I could send back stuff with him to fill the two suitcases he was taking back.

When Jaffar was going back to Canada after our Nikah, I was to join him a few months after the immigration paperwork. I have also added a few books that I still haven’t read myself but are on my list of must read Urdu books.Įvery time I visit Pakistan I bring back lots of Urdu books with me since I can not buy these in Canada. Here is a list of Urdu book recommendations from my side along with resources and links on how to find them. I also find the humour and wit of the Urdu language unmatched. I love the Urdu language and Urdu literature! Nothing like digging into a well-written book to immerse yourself into a different world.
