Reading

I have been reading a lot. I have not been updating on the blog as Good Reads does the job really well.

But here are few books I loved

– The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Ann Shaffer

I hate war stories and for a good reason. This is a post-war story and if there was one thing I really did not like about the book for the love story – the one literally forced at the end. A wonderful book. Do pick it up if you are a book lover.

– The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka

What a book! It is one of those rare books with no well-defined protogonist. The Japanese brides-to-be seeking a better life make a trip to the land where dreams come true – to the US. They tell the story, their lives, the war and more. Beautiful, touching and a gem

Nine Lives – William Dalrymple

Not ficition but a selection of short essays on religion in modern India. An eye-opener.

      @Kavi – Singapore is helping me read – I read during my commute every day and it has been a blessing. But I feel I need to read more than what I doing currently
