Let's talk about some Under-rated books, not underrated books.
Last night I dived into some under-rated book’s lists but most of those books
are called underrated because of having less than 1 lakhs or 50000 ratings. Then
I tried to find some real under-rated books around the world which have less
than 100 ratings and also translated into English so that these books will
reach more readers. I have read a lot of things about these books via
different platforms. I am listing down some of those books.
