Must read: best books of 2013

Here’s a handy list of Seema Goswami’s top reads of last year. The list has it all -- psychological analysis of marriages, fast-paced thrillers and murder mysteries. Try them if you haven’t. You won’t regret it.

If you are a regular reader of this column then you know by now that books are my drug of choice.



There is nothing quite as wonderful as discovering a brand-new writer, except perhaps discovering a new book by an old favourite. And there is nothing more comforting than finding solace between the pages of a tried-and-tested comfort read when you are feeling low.



Over the last year, I have had my fill of both new writers and old favourites. And yes, I have revisited many classics as well, in the hope of discovering something new in them.



But here, for your benefit, is the list of my best reads of 2013.
