Great buddy :-) Whats the story about?


message 1564: by Hajarath Prasad (new)

Hajarath Prasad Abburu (hajarath) | 919 comments It's about a charismatic athlete and an author who was asked to do a tribute about the father of the athlete. As far as I have read it has a strong sports theme. Let's see if we can use this for our Sports book, buddy

Hajarath Prasad Abburu (hajarath) | 919 comments Good afternoon, buddy

Reading Update :

Didn't read much in American Pastoral. Was busy yesterday

Today I saw this book called "Sahasra Sirachcheda Apoorva Chinthamani" in my books. It's in Telugu.. I thought of reading it for International Mother Language reads.. It's very interesting so far, buddy. Old folktale with lots of Kings, a princess, and a set of unanswerable questions.


message 1567: by Em*Greedy* (Iniya) (new)

Em*Greedy* (Iniya) (iniya_n) | 4582 comments okay buddy...

message 1568: by Hajarath Prasad (new)

Hajarath Prasad Abburu (hajarath) | 919 comments Yes buddy.. It's very short. Will try to start it tomorrow :)

Reached 50% in the Telugu book I'm reading. Very simple, but still interesting book.

We need to start A palace of illusions this week... and A Discovery of Witches with manu and syl....

Hajarath Prasad Abburu (hajarath) | 919 comments Your choice, buddy. We can read anything you want :D

By the way, I'm thinking of rereading The Perks of Being a wallflower.. You haven't read it yet.. Can we do that?

message 1585: by Em*Greedy* (Iniya) (new)

Em*Greedy* (Iniya) (iniya_n) | 4582 comments Morning buddy

I started DoW and 10% done... IT's looks good so far so please start soon...

Crossed the 300 mark in DC yesterday.... Me and Kid did buddy read ;-) He was reading his book on his own, while I'll read mine ;-) Was fun...

Started listening to Sivagamiyin sabatham audio today and it was blissful..!! I never thought audiobooks will be this good to listen... Will try some English audiobooks in future. You can also read Sivagamiyin sabatham English translation na? I'll forgive you even if you lag on other books and start this..

Started Reading American pastoral as well yesterday, so might make some progress soon...

WoK is on hold at Dalinar's POV's.. They are slightly dark and slow for me.. Will try to hold reins and resume..

Hajarath Prasad Abburu (hajarath) | 919 comments Good afternoon, buddy!

Finished American Pastoral.

Around 15% in part 1 of Sivagamiyin Sabatham


message 1598: by Em*Greedy* (Iniya) (new)

Em*Greedy* (Iniya) (iniya_n) | 4582 comments Morning buddy

Read and listened to Sivagamiyin Sabatham during the weekend. 23 chapters done.

Started The Perks of Being a Wallflower and not much liking it... Why do I feel it looks more like Holden caulfield (catcher in the Rye).?.. At 15%.... May be too early to judge..!!

Resumed All the light we cannot see and 40% done...

Didnt read anything else...

Will start Boy meets boy today with manu for a cover challenge... And will resume DoW..

Are you going to re-read wallflower?


message 1599: by Hajarath Prasad (new)

Hajarath Prasad Abburu (hajarath) | 919 comments Good morning buddy

Reading Update :

I'm around 30% in Perks of Being a Wallflower, buddy. I know that this guy is a lot like Holden Caulfield, but the big difference is that he is not a narcissist or as impulsive as Holden Caulfield.

Sivagamiyin Sabatham I read 8 chapters in the first part. The translation is quite good


message 1600: by Em*Greedy* (Iniya) (new)

Em*Greedy* (Iniya) (iniya_n) | 4582 comments Me too 30% done in Wallflower... True that this guy is not as bad as Holden, but still he is always sad and crying... and his narrations and observations feel so similar to Holden except for the self-praise...:-|

I'm 30% done in Boy Meets Boy. Reading this with Manu for cover challenge in Fantasy Book Readers group...

Can we start Come, Tell Me How You Live for the monthly read today?
