Reading for Fun: An Anthology to Treasure

By DR NISHI SINGH

Reading for Fun: An Anthology to Treasure brings together timeless stories and a classic novel that make reading both enjoyable and thought-provoking. In R.K. Narayan's "Out of Business," we meet Rama Rao, a man crushed by sudden misfortune who learns that there are no shortcuts to survival, only perseverance and family support. Mahatma Gandhi's "How a Client Was Saved" recounts how truth and confession can resolve even the most difficult situations, as he guides his friend Rustomji through a moral crisis. Oscar Wilde's "The Happy Prince" portrays a statue and a swallow who sacrifice their beauty and life to ease the suffering of the poor, teaching the value of compassion and selfless love. The anthology concludes with George Orwell's Animal Farm, an allegory where animals overthrow human rule only to see their dream of equality destroyed by greed and corruption, mirroring the dangers of unchecked power. Together, these works open a window to human struggle, sacrifice, and resilience, while inviting readers to reflect and enjoy the simple pleasure of stories.
