Malgudi Days by R. K. Narayan
Small-town South India in short, gentle stories. Some of them are funny and some of them break your heart. Read one story a night before bed. It's comfort reading at its best.
Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro
An AI friend watches a sick girl and tries to understand love. Quiet and tender, and it sneaks up on you. Save it for a slow weekend. It rewards a calm read.
Ghachar Ghochar by Vivek Shanbhag
A Bangalore family gets rich and slowly comes apart. Short, quiet, and it stayed with me for weeks. Read it in one sitting; it's barely 120 pages. Then talk about the ending with someone.
