message 51: by Raghavendran R (new)

Raghavendran R | 4 comments saw the article in indianexpress and joined :) I have about 40 books, buying on an average 2-3 books a month. The last few purchases include Haruki Murakami(6), William Dalrymple(3), then a couple of other assorted reads.
Hopefully I will meet you all next time. I own One Hundred years of solitude after a friend recommended Marquez strongly and I never really was able to get comfortable with his style :p. So i'll see if I can get a library copy somehow. Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze it in time. Ciao !

Vishnuvarthanan Moorthy | 2 comments Hi this is Vishnu, I have joined today! I am working

in an IT Company and just like anyone! I have

recently written a book "Bhagavad Gita for Dummies"

-its a book based on common man's view and self

evaluation with bhagavad gita. I just added a short

story "Read in 19 Minutes" a sci-fi thriller. Both

the books are published as Ebook. Its also available

in Goodreads!

Truthfully, i am new to reading and i am new to

writing. However i would write something, which

every common man can relate to (unless its a Sci fi

:) ). I am happy to introduce myself and thanks for

the opportunity!

Thanks for this group, that its no longer i need to

search for readers and reviewers in some country and

they ask us to pay money to review! Books are gifts

and they are mirror of culture and imagination, and

here this group helps to retain it! I will never

write for money, and i don't believe or like any

good book can be developed as commercial product!

Suraj Mahant Suraj Mahant | 2 comments Hi,
My name is Suraj Mahant, and like everyone else here, I am an avid reader. I have recently started a blog site where i am giving away books free almost everyday.These are the books which i dont have the space to store anymore. They are used but in good condition (some are almost new). anyone can claim books from my site www.freepaperbook.com , no strings attached. It is a non- commercial site and I dont sell anything here, all the books are absolutely free of cost and you can also use the forum to exchange your own books.
