If you are interested in a particular topic, then check the section under categories. I hope you will find something here that might interest you. So, sit back and read along.
I love the writing style of Richard Wright. A Father’s Law (P.S.)
The psychology behind a murder is very interesting to me. Also, the father and son’s relationship is very interesting. It gives me an insight into the mind of the youth. I should read this novel again when my son is a teenager. It might help me be a more understanding mother. I am tempted to read other novels by Richard Wright.
Suite Francaise
I was stunned as this was completely different from whatever I have read or seen so far. It tells the story from such a different angle. It tells the story of ordinary French people belonging to different classes. It is sometimes sad and scary but it’s also funny and light spirited at the same time. I’ll never forget this novel.
At first, “Of Mice and Men
Lennie’s simple and warm-hearted character is sweet. He reminded me of someone I knew. I wonder if I was as nice to her as George. It’s hard to take care of someone with such unselfish attitude especially if that someone is not related to you. Hence I admire George. It’s definitely a classic I enjoyed.
Water for Elephants
Sara Gruen has brought out various human and animal characteristics so beautifully. In India, Elephant is very precious especially because of Shri Ganesha. Hence, I felt so much admiration for Rosie. She reminded me of the Hindi movie, Haathi Mere Saathi. Overall, the story has depth and Jacob Jankowski inspired me to value old age.
Khaled Hosseini is one of my favorite writers. I just couldn’t put down A Thousand Splendid Suns
After reading this novel, the story of Mariam and Laila was constantly in my head for a week. I kept thinking about them and wondering how many of them are there in this world. My heart never felt more compassion and urge to help.
