Reading List for August 2021 (Week 3) by Rochelle D’souza

Did you finish reading all the recommended articles? Did you enjoy reading them? Which of the articles did you like. And what about the short book, did you enjoy that. 

This time I will be including a few of George Orwell’s essays instead of a short book. Let me know if you enjoyed reading it.

Also, there is another interesting initiativet that is planned for you.From now onwards, I will also include recommendations by the readers. So, if you come across any interesting articles, you can also share them with me and I will include them in the list. 

The current  list contains 14 articles and 1 compilation of George Orwell’s essays  you can read during this week.
