, almost at the end. One thing's for sure, I'm never gonna trust any women after this.
Shivam wrote: "I'm reading , almost at the end. One thing's for sure, I'm never gonna trust any women after this."I would recommend also not trusting any men.
I've had it on my wish list for a while. But the price refuses to go down.
Jayanti wrote: "Shivam, read her other books too!They screw with your head more."Yes, though by the time I finished it, I felt safe as it was just Amy who was the nutcase. I can trust women now.
After so much fuss about Game of Thrones I read part one A Song Ice and Fire and now I am reading Clash of Kings.

On Looking by Alexandra Horowitz. It is a fascinating book about walking and observing. Starting this book called Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore.
Started Journalism by Joe Sacco and going back to Salinger!

Varun wrote: "Trying to decide between Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, The Light Fantastic, and Storm Front"I like the Dresden Files, they are quite entertaining and have a very fast pace. The first person narrative of the main character Harry Dresden is also amusing.

Storm Front first it is then :D
Storm Front has been on my tbr..."It does have around 14 books in the series though. And Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is also great.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? i'll definitely read later. As for the dresden files, let's see how much Storm Front resonates with me. If I like it well then 13 more to go after that :P
Sounds like a plan. Do share what you think.
Finally picked up
, and I think after reading
, it feels like both books are connected.
I'm reading I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (still) and Coraline (finally). Very different for obvious reasons, but enjoying both.
Yash wrote: "Sounds like a plan. Do share what you think."Dude, Storm Front was really fun to read. :D
Thanks a bunch
I am reading Red Earth and Pouring Rain by Vikram Chandra. Recommended for those who love tales, multi layered stories and myths.

@Varun. I have good news for you: it is only going to get better.
Still reading The Kite Runner. to those who have read it, is it just me or does the climax really feel disconnected?
Shivam wrote: "Still reading The Kite Runner. to those who have read it, is it just me or does the climax really feel disconnected?"I loved the climax.
Hello I am Dia,A newbie in reading. Hunting for some place where I can rent my books.
Can anyone help ?
Varun wrote: "Deciding between Equal Rites, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, and The Day of the Jackal"Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is nice prose. Slow moving for the first half and very well written. It paints a picture of England that seems very probable, despite its fantastical leanings (or maybe because of it?). It picks up pace in the second half. I remember enjoying it and reading the first half sparsely and the second at a fast speed. I enjoyed it, and that concludes my two cents.
Reading The Lowland, my first ever book by Jhumpa Lahiri and I am so glad I am finally reading her work. probably going to immerse myself in her books after this.
Reading
. It's amazing. There's a belongingness in this book.
i just finished first two books of John Grisham's Theo Boone Series - The Kid Lawyer and Abduction. I am currently reading Six of Crows.

I guess i'll pick up that a little later then. With my schedule the way it is, i'd prefer something a little more fast paced. Thanks for the info!
Norwegian Wood, Murakami. //it is finals week and I'm hella slayin
Hey S., I really want to read Atonement. I just finished Solar and I think it was a bit stretched to be honest. I've read Amsterdam and For You which is a shortish book and a play respectively. They were both short but Solar just kind of dragged on.
Don't get me wrong, it had a nice plot and a lot of 'WTF' moments as Ian McEwan usually does, but still.
Yeah! That's exactly what I wrote. In fact, I wrote - "Ian McEwan is either an author you love or you hate. You either want to throw his book aside and wonder what came over you to buy it or you want to reread it again immediately because 'MYGOD! The man is a genius.'"I think Ian McEwan is an amazing author. I still really like Solar. However, I feel like it was too stretched out and had too much jargon in it which I wasn't quite comfortable with considering it was a lot to with theoretical physics and the effects on climate change. So no, it wasn't a complete waste of time. The next Ian McEwan book I would like to read (apart from Atonement) would be Enduring Love or Sweet Tooth.
As for my next book, I'm conflicted between The Graveyard Book or Train to Pakistan. Let me know if any of you have any suggestions! :)
finished Gone Girl. All I'm thinking is we humans are so addicted to morality: truth vs lie, good vs evil, etc.
godavar wrote: "finished Gone Girl. All I'm thinking is we humans are so addicted to morality: truth vs lie, good vs evil, etc."haha. Yes, Gone Girl does that to you.
godavar wrote: "finished Gone Girl. All I'm thinking is we humans are so addicted to morality: truth vs lie, good vs evil, etc."Read Dark Places. :O
