Monsoon has hit us—in all its thunderous-cloud bursting-ocassional spark of lightening glory. But often enough, it's less of a romantic notion—or a #nofilter Instagram post—and more of a grey skied-water clogged-mucky puddled disaster. And no matter the precautions you take to weatherproof yourself before you venture out to brave the rain, there may be days when you're stuck indoors, staring at the raindrops pitter-patter against your windowpane—and for days such as these, let our monsoon reading list keep you company.
From Eleanor Catton's Man Booker prize-winning The Luminaries and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's continent-crossing Americanah to Neel Mukherjee's 2014 publication The Lives of Others and Gabriel García Márquez' masterpiece One Hundred Years of Solitude—let these titles carry you through the season. These tombs may make for bulky bedfellows, but they will stand by you come rain or shine. Nor will you find yourself complaining that they're cumbersome; because, truth be told—how often will you be leaving the couch anyway?
Pull out any one of these 15 plump paperbacks from your bookshelf, brew a cuppa (or a decadent hot chocolate, if the weather has managed to take a toll on your mood) and snuggle up in your comfy PJs. Let these monsoon blues bookend your gloomy greys—and before you know it, you'll find yourself chasing rainbows.
