Irony is this. I design social media strategy and content for brands. I know social media marketing. I know what kind of posts go viral. I know how to increase engagement. I know this.

I am a bit confused. I should like this book - after all, it's filled with so many quotable quotes. I did like it. But I didn't love it enough. It didn't settle into the map of my own heart of books I love. Was it the wandering between the historical ...more |

| There was a time in my life when I was on the Karakorum Highway near the border of Pakistan and Tajikistan. Lonely passes stretched out in front of us. The desert on one side - snow-capped mountains on the other. One of the most beautiful places I ha ...more | |

| 'The Little Hippo' is a beautifully illustrated children's book. I was stunned by the colors - probably one of the most descriptive books I have ever come across. And, as with all books, I came back with a little bit of knowledge too about ancient Eg ...more | |

| This is not a typical RK Narayan 'novel.' This seems to be a fairly autobiographical work - a retelling of Narayan's own great-grandmother's life at a rather indefinite period of time. RK Narayan's characteristic humor is sprinkled throughout the boo ...more | |

| "Married life is merely a habit, a bad habit." Quotes like this make me fall in love with Oscar darling all over again. An absolutely delightful collection of some of Wilde's most celebrated witticisms. You can't help but chuckle, grin, and smile you ...more | |

| I don't consider myself a book reviewer. No. These are not reviews. I write these as little notes to remind me of the books I read. Giving a star doesn't cut it for me. I would like to know years later what I had thought of a particular book, the wor ...more | |

| Somehow, I seem to find it increasingly harder to navigate the “hit-miss” world of contemporary literature. There was a time in my life - for almost a decade - that I only read contemporary authors. I missed out on a lot of the classics reading that ...more | |

| Some books just chirp their way into your heart, one birdsong at a time. Birds are the original callers of mindfulness. How can you be stressed when you listen to birdsong? ‘Bird Cottage’ is a homage of love from Eva Meijer to an eccentric bird scien ...more | |

| More than 10 years after I read 'The Women Of Silk,' I finally managed to read the sequel 'The Language Of Threads.' If you haven't read the prequel, then I suggest that you hold off reading this. As always, Tsukiyama's language is simplistically bre ...more | |

| To add to my collection of books that talk of the joy of reading, I picked up 'I'd Rather Be Reading.' The essay from the author at the beginning is only a gentle introduction to the rest of the book. And what's the rest of the book? Whimsy illustrat ...more | |

“It has long been known to me that certain objects want you as much as you want them. These are the ones that become important, the objects that you hold dear. The others fade from your life entirely. You wanted them, but they did not want you in return.”
