    I was reading 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich' coz I'm an uptight prick. But technically it wasn't the latest as I got OUTed!



    Great literature. I'd not let anyone tell otherwise.

    jus finished 'The wise man's fear' by Patrick Rothfuss,book 2 of the kingkiller Chronicles. terrific read, but there will be another interminably long wait for book 3

    still plodding through Orhan Pamuk's 'snow' can never seem to finish it though ....

    morose, political, yet inspiring...
    helps to read further analyses after reading it and makes you appreciate the author's talent that much more
    hmm it felt like wading through layers of narrative and character and how they connect spot on ... but couldn't find it inspiring though, maybe ennaku puriyalaiyo ennamo ... should read it again and see if it does engage me

    Half of the story was said in a view point of kids, certain sequence were truly mind blowing. A.Roy took 4 years to complete this novel. A classic and must read if you did not.
    Ah, dying to revisit. One of my first books at an impressionable age and mind was blown. Immediat search operations for the book on.

    Finished 'The Sense Of An Ending', the latest Booker Prize winner. Tiny, seemingly simple, elegantly written. For a book of such length, Barnes manages achieve excellent depth to the people and incidents. He talks mostly about Time and Memories - the things which I love to read about - and I almost loved every view he proposes about them. The end of the novel is yet to sink in - this is one of those books where the end didn't matter to me even though it is a twist - asI had already started liking this book. A very satisfying read.
