Last book I read was a book titled 'Raag Darbari' by author Shrilal Shukla. It's an Hindi novel and was written way back in 1970s. The fascinating thing about it is most of the things mentioned in the book still hold true to today's India too. I really liked the way the author has used sarcasm as a tool to talk about the social and political evils prevailing in Indian Society.
I just finished reading 'Written In Stone' by Ellery Adams. It is a 'cozy' mystery set in a seaside town where revenge for a childhood of abuse results in multiple murders and a group of aspiring writers come together to solve the crime. It is the fourth book in the Bay Mysteries series, and I have enjoyed them all.
The last book I read was opposites attract. The book offered considerable insights on how couples with differing personality characteristics and preferences could coexist harmoniously. The content was mainly focused on knowing and accepting your spouse’s characteristics. Apart from that, the book also focused in depth on learning how to deal with the intricacies of your spouse’s characteristics and preferences. I was rather intrigued by the idea conveyed throughout my study of the book that strongly advocates the need to allow each other the space and tolerance to have a more compromising and healthier relationship. Well if I could sum up the book in one short sentence I would say, being different doesn’t have to be a conflicting affair anymore and most importantly it takes both to pull together to really make it work.
The last book I read was the last of the Bayern series, by Shannon Hale. It was about Rin, Razo's sister, who had tree-speaking and another gift that gave the book a twist I don't want to give away. I found her to be a whole lot like me, which was weird. Usually I see bits of myself in every character in a given book, but this one was as if she had interviewed me about my life and written me into her book...Wow, 60 seconds isn't very long! :)
I just finished a book called Love and Other Subjects. I was expecting a light read. Instead the book was a testimony to the difficulty a new teacher encounters when she works in an inner city school. She was not prepared for students dealing with poverty and abuse. Fifth graders who could not learn because current curriculum wasn't addressing the place they came from. The teacher finds a way to reach these students in this heart warming story.
