I am not reading much these days. Started to read A House for Mr Biswas by V. S. Naipaul, but doing it very slowly.He is a terrific writer. I have already read his A Bend in the River.
The Wandering Falcon by Jamil Ahmad
Started reading it today. It is an excellent book. I am not even halfway through it but it is beautifully written.

When i read this book i didn't know what to say about it. I had mixed feelings about it but after sometime when i analysed it from a few different angles I can say that it is a good book. One that requires time and patiences :P

Reading 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'. So far I feel there is hardly a page without quotables, that gives fair bit of idea of its quality. am truly entranced.
Reading ' Romance of Three Kingdom" ...a Chinese historical epic from 2nd century AD...most likely ancient version of Games of Throne
I completed A court of mist and fury a few days back. You can read my bitchy+fangirly review here if you're interested.^^Andddd now I'm reading The problem with forever by Jennifer.l.Armentrout and can't decide whether I want to read The star touched queen or The crown's game. :)
I heard the GraphicAudio version of the first Mistborn book a while back. It was amazing. I'm planning to read the rest of the series. What's really unique about this series is that it's set in all time periods. Future books in the series will be set in contemporary settings and then in outer space! That's something to look forward to.
Reading Insignia by S.J Kincaid.The summary said:Perfect for fans of Ender's Game,after reading that i didn't even bother reading it all.And my hunch was correct this books was everything i have been looking for the past month,sci-fi,suspense,twists,betrayal........all in all just like Ender's Game except for the humor,certain things had me laughing for hours at a time and i had to bite my tounge to keep myself from bursting oit in laughter,a must read.
Adored The Book Thief and The ProphetEnjoyed the first 3/4 of 40 rules of love, was disappointed by the wrapping up/ending
Just finished Salt and Saffron. Love Kamila Shamsie.
Did not see the magic in The Old Man and the Sea, really don't know why it's a classic.
Now going to the real classics, reading Oliver Twist
Just re-read The Life After Life, after a long time. Found it amazing and spooking again. :/ coz after all it was non-fictitious first-hand accounts of Near Death Experiences or you can say reviving after an apparent death; reviving to tell the shocking experiences which when related to ones by others are so resembling. Plus reading ancient texts, the experiences were resembling again very shockingly.To my worse, read Memoirs of Geisha (resumed).
Feeling a bit upset now :)

Just finished reading the memoir of Paul Kalathini "when breath becomes air." It's about living when you're surrounded by death. It's about accepting and grieving about the loss of your planned future and find a new meaning. It's about appreciating all little things that we have and people around us while we can.
I am re-reading the works of Roal Dahl these days and just finished with The BFG. Surely you guys are familiar with his stories. :) He is truly one of the greatest children writers ever.
Currently reading a Harry Potter fanfic called Oh God Not Again by Sarah123.It one of those rare ones thats been written incredibly well,it basically tells the story of an adult Harry accidentally sent back in time where he tries to stop what he couldn't before and have as much fun as possible.
I just finished reading 'brief answers to big questions' by stephen hawking.I am currently reading 'basti' by intizar hussain (urdu language).
I am currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.Quite engrossing and a very fine novel indeed.

That's a lot to tell. I am currently reading Sapiens by Yuval Novah, the city we became and Howard Hughes: his life and madness. Oh and also how to take smart notes by S. Ahrens.
