What follow is a repost.
But before that, let me say that based on the list
below and through the help of many like-minded
friends in Kathmandu, I've been fortunate enough
to get a MONTHLY sahitya-book discussion series
going regularly in Kathmandu since last November.
Books discussed at the rate of one book a month
at Martin Chautari are:
December: Parijat's "Sirish ko Phool".
January: Indra Bahadur Rai's "Aja Ramita Cha".
February: B P Koirala's "Narendra Dai"
March: Saru Bhakta's "Pagal Basti".
and April (next Tuesday): Shankar Lamichaney's
"Abstract Chintan Pyaz".
I figured getting this monthly discussion series
going would be a good way for me to read at least
one classic Nepali book a month.

REPOST
Namaste everyone,
In early 1997, I had an opportunity to spend some timediscussing Nepali literature/sahitya with Khagendra Sangraula – a well-respected Nepali writer in Kathmandu.
In the course of our conversations, I requested Khagendra-dai to recommend classic Nepali-bhasa ko literature books which one can go out, buy and read in spare time . . .
Below appear Khagendra dai's recommendations. Please note
that this is only an informal list for the interested . . .
Hope this list will prove useful to you, fellow-sahitya-premi --as it has been to me over the years.
At this point, I would like to thank Boston residents Pushkar Pokharel (now living in Canada), Basanta Shrestha (now living in
Virginia), Mabi Singh, Mahesh Maskey, Dilip Parajuli, Nir Subba (now living in Nepal) and others who had helped keep the "Nepali sahitya spirit" in the Boston Nepali Community alive and well.
