Thanks Abish!
ClockWork Orange was on my list for a very long time.

Will Read Both!

Like you said, I loved Dark Matter/Recursion/Project Hail Mary. Was not a fan of Pines by Blake Crouch though. It fell short in comparison with Dark Matter & Recursion.

Hello Pooja,
I choose The Vanishing half by Brit Bennet

Do share your feedback.

[Shashank]

Hi Anoop, thanks for picking the book for me. For you, I pick "POW 1971: A Soldier's Account of the Heroic Battle of Daruchhian". I think Speaking Tiger books are so underrated. :)

Hello Sehrish,
Thanks for picking Pachinko, will surely read it.

So, I pick these from your given shelf:

1) Dark Matter [I am planning to read it soon, liked a few reviews. Hope you enjoy it too]

2) The Jane Austen Society [It reminded me of movie 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society'-based on the book by same name] Would like to know how you find it.

Happy Reading! = )

Hi Ayush , I think you chose from Ganesh's list and not mine. can you please select a book from mine.

Hey Arpit, I compared and choose from your overall Tbr list because i was not familiar with those 15 books but if i had to choose from those books i'll select Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams.
