IB’S ENDLESS SEARCH FOR SATISFACTION

AUTHOR – ROSHAN ALI PUBLISHED IN – 2019 PAGES – 209 SPOILERS AHEAD. Before I begin with the book, I need to address the fact that hardcovers are beautiful. And I am not talking about the dust jacket. The real hardcover underneath the jacket, that’s just beautiful. Now, on with the book. I didn’t quite […]

THE MAN-EATER OF MALGUDI

AUTHOR – R K NARAYAN PUBLISHED IN – 1961 PAGES – 205 SPOILERS AHEAD. I am not entirely sure why I had never read anything by the author before. Probably because I keep on adding more books to my list every other day and I never come around to complete it. That’s one list which […]

THE SENSE OF AN ENDING

AUTHOR – JULIAN BARNES PUBLISHED IN – 2011 PAGES – 150 SPOILERS AHEAD. I hated it. And I loved it. I loved the way the book unfolded. I hated the way the book kept on wrapping itself. I just know that I never want to read it again and go through the entire trauma of […]

THE NIGHT CIRCUS

AUTHOR – ERIN MORGENSTERN PUBLISHED IN – 2011 PAGES – 412 SPOILERS AHEAD. I picked up this book solely because I was getting tired of seeing it all over Instagram and people just kept on recommending it. Was it worth it? Not really. But did I enjoy it? Certainly. It is a fantasy story filled […]

THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY

AUTHOR – MATT HAIG PUBLISHED IN – 2020 PAGES – 304 SPOILERS AHEAD. It has been a long while since a book genuinely made me feel happy. This is one such book. The main protagonist is Nora Seeds. She finds herself out of a job, with no one around her to love her and even […]

THE LITTLE PRINCE

AUTHOR – ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPÉRY PUBLISHED IN – 1943 PAGES – 96 SPOILERS AHEAD. This book is a very widely loved book among readers. So naturally I was intrigued. Add to it that it’s a children’s book, I wondered why adults loved it so much. And I am still not convinced. I mean, I get […]

THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ

AUTHOR – HEATHER MORRIS PUBLISHED IN – 2018 PAGES – 270 SPOILERS AHEAD. I will keep it short since I don’t have much to tell about it. The book is about the survival of Lale in the concentration camp of Birkenau for almost 3 years. His sole ambition to survive lands him doing various jobs […]

PINBALL, 1973

AUTHOR – HARUKI MURAKAMI PUBLISHED IN – 1980 PAGES – 162 SPOILERS AHEAD. This book is the sequel to Hear the wind sing in the trilogy. I am not sure if I want to read the third one next because I need a break from this. I can never read books by Murakami one after […]

HEAR THE WIND SING

AUTHOR – HARUKI MURAKAMI PUBLISHED IN – 1979 PAGES – 152 SPOILERS AHEAD. I have been trying to write about it since the last 3 days unsuccessfully. And now I don’t even remember if the main character had a name. It’s silly, really. This is Murakami’s first work. My copy of the book had a […]

ESTUARY

AUTHOR – PERUMAL MURUGAN PUBLISHED IN – 2020 PAGES – 241 SPOILERS AHEAD. Take a moment to appreciate the gorgeous book cover first. It is the shades of blue which makes it so beautiful. While I didn’t enjoy the previous book by the same author, I loved this one. It had everything that made it […]
