Reading story books and novels

I enjoyed reading story books and novels. Since my childhood i'd read several novels written mainly by Indian authors. My favourite are Munshi Premchand, Mahasweta Devi, Mahadevi verma and Bhisam Sahni. Lot of story books which I read are generally from not very famous authors and I almost forget the names of those story books and authors. Some of the novels and story which created a strong impact on me are as follows:
