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

Finished Palace of illusions yesterday... Loved the War part... and so gave 3 stars... Didn't like the first 70% at all..!!! We should read Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata sometime..!!!

Started Dragon slippers and 40% done.. It's a very easy read so hoping to finish it today...

Read 20 pages in David Copperfield... At 350 pages now... I am going to try to finish it this month..!!! So much of dragging...

As agreed, I'm resuming WoK from today...

Started Great Hunt(WoT#2) and prologue done.. okayish prologue...


message 1712: by Em*Greedy* (Iniya) (new)

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

2% done in Trainspotting and Am going to read this very very slow.. Feels like some encoded language :P

No progress in Great Hunt..

Read David Copperfield and at 380 page now... Am hating David's stupidity in trusting Steerforth and friends... Felt bad for Poor Agnes and her Father's fate :-( Hate Uriah, he is creepy..

Have decided to read middlemarch and Copperfield alternatively... Lets see whether I'll be able to do it..

Finished Dragon slippers - Was a very easy read but some things were exaggerated..!


message 1713: by Hajarath Prasad (new)

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

You are restarting WoK from the beginning????:-O

How is Longest Ride going? Liking it?

I need to start Illicit happiness which was Gorab's reco..!!might start during the weekend...


message 1716: by Hajarath Prasad (new)

Hajarath Prasad Abburu (hajarath) | 919 comments I didn't start Discovery of Witches, buddy


Good morning :D

Halfway through Prodigy.. The Book is written a faster pace than required :/


message 1717: by Hajarath Prasad (new)

Hajarath Prasad Abburu (hajarath) | 919 comments I'm reading from the beginning, buddy.. I love the initial parts so much.. I'm around 15% now. You start reading it?

Will start Middlemarch today


message 1718: by Em*Greedy* (Iniya) (new)

Em*Greedy* (Iniya) (iniya_n) | 4582 comments Part 2 finished in Way of Kings buddy... Have to read the interludes and then part 3... Interludes sometimes doesn't make much sense to me -_-. Liking Dalinar's clarity in thoughts now atleast. Seems shallan had become Jasnah's trusted ward... Curious to know what's happening at her end...

45% done in Forgotten Garden... It's a slow mystery ... I'm liking it so far... Many parts sounds like Fairy tale..! Thinking of focusing and finishing this during this weekend....

I'll be reading Forbidden with manu during this weekend... Apart from this I'll read WoK also...


message 1719: by Hajarath Prasad (new)

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

I've read half of Tuck Everlasting due to power cut due to rains - _-

Reached 25% in Way of Kings

Read till 72% in The Longest Ride

Read 50 pages of Middlemarch.. The language is very dense for me :(

Read 3-4 chapters in the second book of Sivagamiyin Sabatham


message 1720: by Hajarath Prasad (new)

Hajarath Prasad Abburu (hajarath) | 919 comments Yes those interludes don't make much sense. Sometimes I wonder whether they are really a part of the whole story or just some random snippets. I liked only one interlude.
