A pinch of humour

My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell, of course! The non-reader would become a reader (and also read MFA multiple times, as have I). The language, the humour, the stories, the amazing Durrell family....oh my! If it was a semi-reader, I would present Tiger Lessons by Sannapureddy Venkatarami Reddy, one of the most authentic novels I’ve read recently and also a great translation of the Telugu masterpiece, Kondapolam. If it was a total non-reader (no hope) I would give a calendar because that’s very useful reading.
