Room of One's Own | Virginia Woolf
Pickpick

Saw it on Maeves's collection in series Sex Education Season 2. Was planning to read Woolf for a while, this was my much needed calling. She knows how to build it. A writer who decides herself if you're worthy to read her work. Guessing many might have left he book in between. But that's her trick cause you really understand her motif beyond that. All the suggestions very accurately backed up with facts and she motivates like no other.
Loved it.

The Testaments: A Novel | Margaret Atwood
post image
Pickpick

Thoroughly enjoyed this sequel. Was expecting more on OffRed and her journey after :( But then Aunt Lydia and her work blew me away. Atwood really is a writer of masses. This book had an ease in itself. Also loved Aida and her quotes although she had a very small role but was crisp n blunt.

Men Without Women | Haruki Murakami

This is my favourite read of Nov 2019. Handcrafted stories that leave you speechless. Loved to see Murakami's version of Gregor Samsa, Justice Well Served! Kafka would be proud to see Samsa getting some well deserved love after a buggy life since 1915 :) Some quotes from this book hit you right at the spot 💘!
Now I have Percy Faith on loop thanks to Murakami!

Very well crafted story of a family which grows rich overnight although they loose the bond they had between each other when money comes in. Ends in a cliffhanger tho :(

‘It‘s true what they say – it‘s not we who control money, it‘s the money that controls us. When there‘s only a little, it behaves meekly; when it grows, it becomes brash and has its way with us.‘

AkashPhoenix True Indeed @Zoes_Human @TNbookworm | @SanjanaGhosh I watched one episode while being half way thru in the book, was pretty much according to the book with some variations. Had to leave watching cuz nothing beats reading for me :p 4y
Zoes_Human @SanjanaGhosh Like Akash Phoenix says, there are many variations and most of those make sense in terms of updating a 25-year-old story to modern times as well as adapting to a different medium. 4y

Wanted to read this for all the hype the short story created and i wasnt disappointed.
Just finished both the book and the Netflix movie based on it Wounds. Loved it. The novella is well written but for the first time I would say the movie was better. And watching the movie after reading the book is an amazing experience. Those small lilttle parts which the author had left have been portrayed in great detail by the movie.

Book #17 of Indian Authors October Fest

Mahabharata Redesigned. Really loved it. The author portrays this epic from a womans standpoint amazingly. She not only shows you the story from Paanchalis eyes but even gives you a feminine reasoning on acts of all female characters in the story. Loved the satire and humor in the book. I recommend this book to all Indian men :)

Time is the great eraser, both of sorrow and of joy.
- Draupadi

Kauravas had won her in a game of dice. Draupadi (strangely angry only with the men that won her, not the ones that staked her) had sworn that she will never tie up her hair until it is washed in Dushasana‘s blood.
Mahabharata from Draupadi's Point of View!

The author's uninhabited ancestral property!

Masterpiece! Most importantly knowing it's a semi-autobiography of the author. It's a journey of 2 ill fated siblings and the hardships they face at an early stage of life which leaves them with a mark for life. Strangely, the author will never let u forget anything of the storyline as she repeats a lot of facts. The air of mystery and disjointed storyline in this novel is undoubtedly the USP.

Book#14 Octoberfest

One of the most amazing reads in quite a while. It portrays the story of family with the Mother, Em, who suffers from Manic Depression, the father aka The Big Hoom, sister - Susan and the unnamed son whose the storyteller. A story engulfed in pain but doesn't demand any pity and lifts you up with the dark comedy of the jovial, carefree & suicidal mother Em. One of the best books coming out of Indian Authors and a Must Read!
