One Hundred Years of Solitude | Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
Pickpick

Gabriel's magnum opus is unputdownable. The inevitable ending and the larger than life characters stay etched in your memory. Every page propels you to think about life above and beyond of what is told and taught.

The Prisons We Broke | Baby Kamble
Pickpick

This book does what it is written for. It educates, it rattles you to get off the cushy chair of privilege and to take action. We have lost generations to caste inequality, the only way forward is a revolution.

I really enjoyed this book. It had the perfect combination of art and story-telling. Especially the flow of information, making it more digestible. It wasn't an uncomfortable read but rather a rude awakening of sorts.
I loved how Jyotiba rationally picked apart the multifaceted nature of Hindu mythologies. So many problem areas, that I honestly couldn't keep up with.

Selected Stories | Saadat Hasan Manto
Pickpick

Manto's stories pierce through your heart like a fresh summer morning, jolting you to wake up and reel into the naked reality.

The book is informative about the perpetual perils of capitalism on Puerto Rico. Also, the powerful narrative about grassroot movements coming together in the face of adversities, is something we all need right now.

Freakonomics is a powerhouse when it comes to normalising conversations about radical economic concepts. Couldn't put it down, a must read for a more nuanced understanding of blips that we missed.

A compelling read for sure, about the unsung woman behind the Hela cells. Empathy goes beyond science. Behind groundbreaking scientific endeavours, are real people and their families.

A morbid read, deciphering the war and its aftermath. The ending still haunts me, war never really ends with one generation as much as you want it to.

The Casual Vacancy | J.K. Rowling
Mehso-so

I enjoyed reading it, because I feel the characters were really fleshed out. Not sure if I was happy with the ending. A slow paced read suitable to pass time but not exactly an effortless one.

A one time read to selfishly knock it off the list.

The Adivasi Will Not Dance: Stories | Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar
Pickpick

Every story in this book makes you take off your rose coloured glasses. Reality hits you where it hurts the most, and the pain is as visceral as it can be.

Circe | Madeline Miller
Pickpick

Loved every bit of it. Miller's writing style keeps you engrossed and you can't help but scream Team Circe.
