Ok, so basically, I decided to read this book by Belinda Seaward because the cover was interesting. Not in an OMG-it’s-so-good way, but just interesting. Also, the stuff at the back seemed quite good
I started with the first three pages and felt disgusted and sick because of the description of an amputated limb. This was [...]

<- Say hello to new avvie!
On Sunday, we kept driving down the “Marina Beach“, past the Chennai port, to get to an exam center
Anyways, this reminded me of my visit to the Chennai Port when MV Doulos, the floating library that was docked here about 2-3 summers back (I’m not too sure)
So yes, this Doulos(‘servant’ [...]

Of all the books I’ve read lately, this one sticks out by a mile.In fact I am so in love with this book that I think it deserves a post in itself.Any other book sharing space would just sound very ‘meh..’.
The lead character, Howard Roark, is like no other.If there is one thing I love [...]

OK, seriously, ‘Reading maketh a full man’ sounds much better. I just realized how there’s no proper, usable synonym for the words ‘reading’ and ‘book’.Weird. Anyway, I figured I ought to write something on here before everyone reading (or writing) dies of depression or something! But Adzzie’s last post was funny! But she forgot [...]

Maybe I should make this a weekly feature.I do devour books by the week as-is and I love dissecting and analyzing the story to bits.I know, sounds violent but if you love books as much as I do, I don’t need to explain that.
1. I’m done with Pendragon : The Pilgrims of Rayne (book 8) [...]

Outside of a dog, books are man’s best friend.Inside of a dog..well,then, it’s just too dark to read.
I don’t remember where I read that one or who said it but I couldn’t agree more.Last night, I finished Noughts and Crosses.
Consider yourself spoiler-warned
I thought the first half was brilliant.Seriously, I loved it.Towards the end, [...]

You know, I hate to agree with Xlucidinsanityx but being in 12th grade?Oh,it sucks big time.The 11th is about when things actually start getting hectic (causing the wisest of us to drop out of school) but a year from then, I can say no better.It’s not so much about the seriousness of it all [...]

The Gift, The Riddle, The Crow..etc. (Books of Pellinor) by Alisson Croggon
The Game World trilogy (Simoquin Prophecies, Manticore’s Secret, Unwaba Revelation) by Samit Basu. It’s an amazing trilogy by an Indian author where the cliched ‘good-defeats-evil’ [...]
