Vani Bhoopathy (vanibhoopathy) | 1 comments Morgue: A Life in Death

As a crime thriller fanatic, figured I'd give Non-Fiction a try. Quarter way through, and already a huge thumbs up to people who might enjoy the genre! :)

Barani (gbarani) | 1 comments After completing "Karma Yoga" By Swami Sukhabodhanandha, I suddenly jumped into a highly contrasted title "Thalaimuraigall" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) , a Tamil novel by "Neela.Padmanaban". The first two chapters didn't stick in to my mind, as I read deeply, eventually, once I got the thread of the style of writing, it becomes interesting. It's a blend of Tamil and Malayalam folks. Good to read. More to enjoy. It has a strong message on the olden days practice on childless family. This novel was first published during 1968.

Siva Ranjan | 5 comments One of the books I read recently was Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY! Haruki Murakami’s fantastic coming-of-age will remind you of unrequited love, moving on and rediscovering love (is there anyone who is immune from any of this?). If you have lived alone you will relate to Toru Watanabe’s days in the hostel.. it drew me in and in no time I was able to relate to all the characters. You will have a Naoka, a Midori and a Nagasawa in your own lives

The book is like fine single malt whisky that you are enjoying on a rainy evening… slowly it will blur your past and all that is left are your heartfelt memories to embrace a better tomorrow as you drift off to sleep.

John Galt is an expression which takes a more concrete form as the book is competed..

Jenifer | 1 comments I have just started reading Anna Karenina by Tolstoy. Started loving it from the 1st chapter - "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way" - How deep and how true!

"A Good book is one which tells you what you know already" - Read this somewhere and this came to my mind when I read the above phrase.

Ishu Shankar | 3 comments Secrets of Druids by Chistopher C Doyle. His research is really good and its a series. Its good so far, the information and all the history is fascinating, but am not getting the feeling with his writing. But gotta give him credit for his research. It is amazing and fascinating.

It was a pleasure to meet the author, Ishushankar some time back. I liked the premise of the book The Secret Of The Druids by Christopher C Doyle but then I felt he lost the thread some where in between.
