Finished Chronicle of a Death Foretold disappointing book 1/5.

Also The Sense of an Ending brilliant book 5/5.

Gonna get back to If On a Winter's Night A Traveler

[Ahtims]

sense of an ending- want to read
winters traveller - bored me

[Anoop]

currently the penultimate episode of the Tales of The Otori... I must say I am very impressed with the series. Its not Fire and Ice level but still is a good one...

[Ronald]

Just read The Fault in Our Stars So many discussions about the book, so I went along and read the book. It is a beautiful book, a book which subtly deals with the frailty of life. The ending is too depressing... highly recommended.

Be careful what tou wish for by jeffrey Archer. Love it

It was an awesome book... a cynical character like Holden is a treat to read...

[Nivas]

reading Charles Bukowski....

anyone read of his books?

[Ahtims]

Not so far

[Anoop]

Finally started the Magnum Opus of Vikram Seth, The Suitable Boy!!

[Ahtims]

I have read it thrice.

[Ahtims]

two- three quarters - to be exact

[Anoop]

two questions? Why twice and then three quarters the third time? :D

[Indiabookstore]

The Suitable Boy is perhaps one of the most brilliant books out there. I have never been able to forget it. Now will I ever. All of Vikram Seth's books pull you in and never let go.

Bukowski is one of my favourite poets.Had he written novels? I had no idea. My favourite poem by him is Raw With Love. It's phenomenal.

[Ahtims]

I didn't much like the choices she made in the end. first time was curious to know what happens, second time- a slower read to inhale the beauty of the writing. 3rd time after along gap- just to refresh the story
(all this was before my ereader era when I had limited no. of books)

[dely]

I have started The Postman Always Rings Twice by James M. Cain for my "novel cure" challenge. This should help for people who suffer from apathy. I'm not pathologically apathetic but sometimes I don't want to do anything (except sitting down with a good book).

[Muddle head]

Reading India Was One...
Looks a decent enough read, but all the references/sub-texts to explain the 'indian' words or cricket or food or just some customs.. all of this is a bit tiring to read, without them, probably the book would have shrunk by 30% at least! Still awaiting the partition

[Ahtims]

dely, what is novel cure challenge? sounds interesting.
Adi, its in my to-read list

I have added this new challenge in one of my placeholders so it didn't show up in the updates.

[dely]

I have started reading The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James for my "novel cure" challenge. This book should help anxious people.

[Ahtims]

Henry James- I always wanted to read.

[Uday]

I've started reading A Dance With Dragons, the fifth book in ASOIAF. But since I know that it's going to take me months to finish that tome, I've also decided to do some parallel reading this time. First up is, Something Fresh by P. G. Wodehouse. This Blandings Castle series looks interesting,

Finished visin in white by Nora roberts and The grand Sophie by Georgette Heyer. Both were fun and romantic reads. Planning to read more of Heyer. Onto a cozy mystery by Charles Todd now.

Heyer is good, but a bit repetitive (as most authors are). Remember liking her Sprig Muslin..

The Grand Sophy is one of my favorite books by Heyer... You should read her Arabella, its equally good. In fact, all of them are good :) :)
