Nora Roberts is back and how :D

"Well, you know those self-help books that give you permission to love yourself? This one gives you permission to love punctuation."

And how I loved it. A hilarious read that had me nodding in agreement with every line.

A must read for all "sticklers".

Reading Sethji reminded me why I'd avoided Shobha Dé for so long. The book is grossly vulgar. Perhaps Dé thought she was writing something realistically shocking, but it's disgusting, has amateurish language, and each page drips with sleaze. I was surprised that a female author could paint women in such a demeaning manner.

Terrible book. Please avoid!

After a long time (Since Chanakya's Chant, to be precise) I've enjoyed reading a novel by an Indian author. Amitav Ghosh's Hungry Tide restored my faith in our desi writers and The Glass Palace reinforced the same.

It's an absolutely engaging read and yes, Ghosh can write. Loved reading it!


P.s: Not for people who don't enjoy lengthy descriptions and the FYIs Ghosh seems to toss about in his narration
