The Time Traveler’s Wife

The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger is an interesting read. It’s a very sweet love story. The moral of the story is that being in present is very precious and no matter what we do we cannot change either our past or future. I recommend this book for an easy and light reading. Don’t put too much thought and just enjoy the story. I saw the movie and realized that a lot was left out in the movie. I found the movie below my expectations.
by David Wroblewski is a very interesting story. Typically, I wouldn’t choose to read this novel but I am glad I did. The only reason that I picked up this book was because it was listed in Oprah’s book club list and this book was available in large print (easier to read while feeding a baby).
by Samina Ali. There are so many issues that were a shocker for me in this novel. I have never had a closer look into the Muslim family in India. I must say that it was surprising that how insecure some of them may feel in their own country. All the killings in the name of God and religion are unforgivable sin.
by Richard Wright is a very interesting novel. It’s a story of Bigger Thomas – a very competent black boy raised right by his mother despite of extreme poverty during 1940’s in Chicago. Lack of opportunity and prejudice of being black makes him very weak in heart. He cannot rise above the vicious circle of self pity and insecurity and this is what makes him commit crimes. This book gave me a perspective of why and how abused people can get tangled in the clutches of violence and crime.
by Kathryn Stockett is one of those books that I couldn’t put down until I finished it and also, it forced me to introspect. I live in Mississippi and so, this book gave me further insight about the background of this State. I am sure that if Hollywood makes a move of this book, it will be a hit.
