Jul 15, 2020 · It seems like this has long been a trend in Singapore – the older you get, the less you read. In fact, according to a 2018 National Reading Habits Study on adults and teenagers, only 25% of adults pick up a book more than once a week, compared to 40% of teenagers.

- Conclusion on Singaporean Books
I will start with the one EVERYONE and their auntie are talking about – Crazy Rich Asians. Arguably the most famous of all Singaporean books, and may be even up there with Memoirs of a Geisha for globally popular Asian literature. The basic story line is that Rachael and her boyfriend Nick live in New York City, USA. Nick gets invited to his best f...
Ponti was a book chosen by my book club for Singaporean books, and it is a book that is STRONGLY character driven. If you’re not into character driven books, you probably won’t like it. So now with that disclaimer out of the way… The story follows a young teenager, Szu, and her relationship with her single mother, Amisa, and her new best friend Cir...
A collection of short stories that have won TONS of literary awards, and honestly, it’s because this book is brilliant. Each story is a roller coaster that kept me at the edge of my seat, then dropped me off a cliff with the final sentence. I wish each of the stories could be their own novel! The writing is very raw and pure, but not in a way that ...
Catherine Lim is internationally recognized as one of the leading faces of Asian fiction. I am not sure if all of her fiction works (she writes non fiction as well) are romance novels, but this particular one was. AND IT WAS SO CUTE. Okay so get this. There is an old tradition that popularizes a woman proposing to a man, but only on February 29th. ...
Probably one of the most well known Singaporean mystery authors, and now I know why! I will admit that I have never really read mystery novels before, but I have definitely learned the error of my ways. Aunty Lee, first of all, is a fantastic character. She is a culinary genius who owns a popular local cafe. This is just one of her mystery Singapor...
Wow, this one was powerful. The story follows three friends, Singaporean natives Mei and Eugene, and Eugene’s best friend Andy from England who is now dating Mei. Their friend triangle is shaken when Andy is arrested in Singapore for allegedly being an international gambling kingpin. That can be punishable by death in Singapore. Mei is a lawyer, an...
If you are a fan of classics, then this is the book for you. For example, if you like Pride & Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, then you will gobble this right up. I, personally, am not a fan of classics, but I recognize that this is a VERY well written book. It was interesting to find see that there were Singaporean books written in this st...
Full disclaimer, this author isn’t Singaporean. Chen is a Taiwanese-American author who immigrated to Singapore. Although she isn’t a local born author, her book is hilarious and paints a humorous picture of what Singapore is like from an immigrant’s point of view. The story follows a married American couple, one a lawyer and the other a neuro-scie...
Absolutely love love loveddd this book! Unlike a lot of characters from Singaporean books on this list, the main character is not Chinese Singaporean. This story follows the lives of a Punjabi Sikh family. Singapore is a country that is rich in diversity, so I was excited to stumble upon this book! Living in a country that is so obsessed with order...
I thoroughly enjoyed ALL of these books! I feel as though my experience in Singapore was enriched, both during and after my trip, as I read these books. That said, I am not Singaporean, so I’m sure there might have been some inside jokes or references that went over my head. But overall, I wasn’t at any point totally lost or disconnected because of...

- Emily of Emerald Hill. Written by Stella Kon, this is possibly one of the most iconic plays in Singapore’s history. Abandoned at birth, Emily claws her way up the societal ladder to become matriarch of one of Singapore’s most distinguished Peranakan families.
- The Teenage Textbook. I read ‘The Teenage Textbook’ (also known as ‘The Melting Of The Ice Cream Girl’) when I was in secondary school, and I thought it was the funniest thing ever.
- Army Daze. Before the movie invaded our theaters with awkward product placements and humor that only Jack Neo is capable of, ‘Army Daze’ was our parents’ version of Ah Boys To Men.
- Love Is An Empty Barstool. Ah, the barstool. A frequent figure in tales of broken hearts and pining souls, of lovelorn figures sitting at the bar with a drink in hand pouring out their woes to a faceless bartender.
