Justine by Lawrence Durrell: Alexandria with all its madness and a melange of love stories against the backdrop of heat, dust, serendipities and insanity known only to the ones who love with passion and obsession. A must read…
The second one that I am reading right now is a book of selected stories by the famous Tamil Writer “Kalki”. Kalki’s writing reminds me a lot of R.K. Narayan and Malgudi Days which I devoured as a teenager and way into my adolescence. Kalki writing gleams of simplicity and dry humour. Though translated, I would love to read the original some day.
Chuck Palahniuk’s “Survivor’ has blown me away. Reflecting on modern times, this book discovers a messiah who is not one and what is the cause and effect of media on everything that we do, everything that we touch, and who we really are. This is the fourth Palahniuk that I am reading right now after Fight Club, Lullaby and Invisible Monsters. I love this one as well though my personal favourite is Invisible Monsters.
More detailed reviews…later…ciao
