I promised myself that every book I read I would note down . But some books are so inane , I dont have the energy to do more than return them to the library . They are not worth talking of
Orhan Pamuk -- tried reading him a few times before but just was not in the right frame I guess . The other day I bought RED by him . Was in Chennai for a whole day in a hotel room so read the book and enjoyed it . He is good . Very informative of Islamic illustrated books . But the strange thing is you try reading up a bit more on the net or you want to see what an illustration is like but all you get is obscure and weird sites . I guess Islam is the new four letter word .
THE OTHER FAMILY --  by JOANNA TROLLOPE -- Nice . Again a story of people , families .
THE PREGNANT KING - DEVDUTT PATNAIK --  Wow . I still have a few pages left . You know how it is ? A very good book and you dont want it to end ? Just read it . The author has made mythology and dharma very contemporary . Waiting to recommend it to all my friends
