These are some interesting facts. Bit of surprise but good to see Indians taking their reading habit seriously.

rockpools That‘s a really interesting chart. A little depressing ( 🇬🇧) but really interesting! 5y
Kaye Holy cow.....USA. WHAT HAPPENED ? 5y
CampbellTaraL Wow, the bottom of that chart is unexpected. Japan, UK, what's happening over there? 5y
kishore_kk @RachelO @kaye @taraWritesSci There is another fact given at the bottom of the list. Globally, people spend more than 25 hrs per week watching TV and surfing the internet. I guess Japan, US, UK must be on the top of that list. I hope that might answer your questions. 5y

Listening to the tagged book, however, I have already read it. I really enjoy walking around the #brahmasarovar lake, the central stage of epic #mahabharata. Also, visited the Mahabharata theme based Panorama museum at Kurukshetra.
Thanks, @kaye @Bklover @DarcysMom

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

I was reluctant to start this series owing to its ginormous size but I find it really interesting and captivating.

kishore_kk Narration by Stephen Fry and Martin Freeman make it even more interesting. 5y

From spending childhood in foster care to becoming a famous comedian/actor, she has been through many difficult situations in her life. But she always sees the positive in it. She is hilarious, witty, smart badass with a great sense of humour and infectious smile. I really loved this book and her storytelling was amazing. I recommend listening audiobook instead of reading the book. 💚💚

I have just started reading this book and already loving it. I didn't expect a story about an ice hockey could be so captivating. 💚

Redwritinghood I was surprised, too, especially after reading some of his other books. 6y
kishore_kk @Redwritinghood it's my first book by this author. Although I've heard a lot about "A Man Called Ove", I decided to start with this one. 6y

⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's all about geopolitics. It describes the role of geography in determining cooperation, progress and political behaviour. Due to its unique writing style it's easy to read and understand. However, more emphasis has been given on the defense and security of a nation vis-a-vis its geographical location. Overall, it's a interesting book and you should read if you are interested in world geopolitics.

kishore_kk Why is Crimea so important to Russia? Why is there war and instability in the Middle East? What are the factors which led the USA to become a superpower? Geography explains all. For those who want to have a better understanding in these geopolitical issues, it's a must read book. 🌍 🌎 🌏 🗺 6y
bnp Sounds interesting, & I love the cover. 6y

Thanks @hermyknee
One more thing I've observed in the #bookslumpblues posts that most of the littens are introvert. So can we make a rule here: "Book lovers are often introvert or vice-versa" but of course, with a diverse personality traits.

4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌠

Finally, finished this book and really loved it. I liked the way he explained his struggles and problems with a sense of humour. Him being a coloured child is the dominating theme of the book which sometimes seems repetitive but he really knows how to make it interesting and humorous. Overall, this was an interesting read filled with inspiration.

JosieG I listened to the audiobook, which he narrated as well. I think it really added something to it, because the way he tells stories really makes them come to life. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. 6y
Bklover Loved this audiobook! 6y
kishore_kk @JosieG @Bklover I read it on kindle. Also I regularly watch his TV show on Comedy Central and really love his sense of humour. 6y
JosieG He is very funny. I follow him on Facebook and Youtube because I don't stay up late enough to catch him on tv, unfortunately. But I watch a lot of his videos, and I was EVER so pleased back when he first got his own show. 6y

Kaye 🎁 Thank you for playing . I can‘t imagine living in a town with so many people. This is the only place I‘ve ever lived. It had 6000 when I was a kid, and still had 6000. I think we have the same number. When one dies, a new one is born to replace them. 6y
kishore_kk @radhikeey you are right, it's Delhi, the second most populated city on earth. I guess you live in Indore ??? @Kaye only 6000, Wow! You must have known each other personally. I too grew up in the countryside with a population less than 1000. So, I like small and quiet places. 6y

Very true! And common in developing countries. In #India, you would find imitated products of almost all big international shoe and apparel brands and difference is so subtle that it's hard to notice at first sight. Interesting fact, ...once I bought adadis shoes and very few could notice the difference.
Have anyone ever had such experience?

Eggs Yes I bought leggings @ Walgreens for $5 and everyone thought they were that brand everyone talks about on Facebook (forgot the name) that cost 5x as much 6y
Janmah When the Beatles released their first album, I was dying to get it. My Mom brought home an album she thought was them. It was Meet the Bugs. A knock off, same cover but with different guys. I was mortified. Later it would become a sweet and funny story. 6y

Finally finished reading #Alchemist, which has been in my library for long. I really loved the story especially the conversations of the boy with a king, a merchant, an Englishman and an Alchemist. Overall, the author manages to keep the interest of readers alive throughout the story. I also loved the book for its inspirational quotes and so many life lessons. Next in line is #Origin by #DanBrown

While reading #TheAlchemist, I found one line very familiar which has the exact same meaning as a famous dialogue from a Bollywood movie #OmShantiOm. This is the line.. ?
"And, When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

Yes, this line originally appeared in the book then became famous in a Bollywood movie.???

Ericalambbrown Welcome to Litsy! It‘s such a wonderfully positive environment. I hope you ❤️ it! I loved Om Shanti Om. I haven‘t read the Alchemist so I stacked it. 6y
Janmah I have started this book but never finished. I love Bollywood movies. Maybe I should try the book again with that in mind. 6y

#Amitavghosh explains the impact of global warming in very simple way and with the examples which are very much relatable to the common people's daily life.
Extreme weather events and changing climatic situations of our earth are the major areas of concern and require immediate attention.
Although nothing new has been said by the author but it force us to think seriously about climate change.

I believe that I am relatively familiar with history of human kind. But this book is completely different. The book is written very beautifully, easy to understand and expalins history with different perspective which made me think about my knowledge of history.
I completely loved this book and can't wait to read the next book of this series #Homodeus.
Everyone should read this book.
