1Q84 [TRYLOGY]
|
Haruki Murakami
|
I loved reading this book.
However, I felt the ending was rushed.
|
2.
|
Ghamkiri
|
Nayan Raj Pandey
|
Even with all its understanding
on globalization, consumerism and capitalism it was a difficult reading.
|
3.
|
South of the Border, West
of the Sun
|
Haruki Murakami
|
Fantasy included as it is
always in Murakami’s writing. Though made me think about things. It didn’t
put any impression for long.
|
4.
|
The Tiger Rising
|
Kate DiCamillo
|
Nice story of growing up.
|
5.
|
The Complete Collected
Poems
|
Maya Angelou
|
Very inspiring poems of
everything and anything.
Loved reading her. |
6.
|
Elephant Moon
|
John Sweeney
|
I enjoyed reading it since
it had about teaching and war, some love story to feel good about. Still, not
much of a good utilization of my time.
|
7.
|
Kafka on the Shore
|
Haruki Murakami
|
I was intrigued by the
story. It has Murakami’s style all over it. However, the incest did put me
off.
|
8.
|
East of the Sun
|
Julia Gregson
|
Had started reading when I
was in Sri Lanka. Had found interesting for some reason (could be due to
holiday!). When I read it whole, I enjoyed but not full utilization of my
time.
|
9.
|
Flora & Ulysses
|
Kate DiCamillo
|
Made me laugh and enjoy the
story of a squirrel hero.
|
10.
|
Sophie’s World
|
Jostein Gaarder
|
7th time?
Always mind blowing read.
|
11.
|
An Autography : The
Experience with my Experiments with Truth

First time read the so
called an ‘autography’.
I must say I enjoyed reading it though at times I did doze off. |
12.
|
The Miraculous Journey of
Edward Tulane
|
Kate DiCamillo
|
3rd time?
My favourite from
DiCamillo.

|
The Magician’s Elephant

Interesting one.

I don’t remember how many
times it has been.
|
15.
|
The Pickup
|
Nadine Gordimer
|
December 2014
It has booked itself on my
‘FAVOURITE BOOKS’ list.
Thoroughly enjoyed the writing,
characterization, story and everything.
|

|
Nadine Gordimer
|
No clue: longest struggle.

|
The Fault in Our Stars
|
John Green
|
February 2015
Teenage romance. I felt too
old to dwell on such reading. But, I would say ‘not bad’ though for me ‘waste
of time’.
|
18.
|
Taruni Kheti
|
Sarubhakta
|
February 2015
My first reaction was to
berate myself for being so naïve on Nepali literature. I found myself arrogant
and stupid for not being able to see this treasure.
I practically worship
Sarubhakta for this awesome book.
|
19.
|
Gone Girl
|
Gillian Flynn
|
February 2015
Awesome book for time pass.
The suspense, the thriller and the twisted psychology of characters.
It was a good read.
Interesting gift for your friends.

The Last Time As We Are
|
Taylor Mali
|
04/03/2015
Loved his poems, not all of
them.
But, no doubt very inspiring one. |
21.
|
The Tale of Despereaux
|
Kate DiCamillo
|
06/03/2015
Good story for children. Loved it, anyway. |
22.
|
Men Without Women
|
Ernest Hemingway
|
15/03/2015
Good short stories. Good
for familiarizing oneself with Hemingway.
|
23.
|
Snows of Kilimanjaro and
Other Stories
|
Ernest Hemingway
|
20/03/2015
Each and every stories have
a great way of hooking you to it.
Earnest Hemingway is, currently, my inspiration. |
24.
|
True at First Light: A
Fictional Memoir
|
Ernest Hemingway
|

|
Sacred Mountain
|
Robert Ferguson
|
Just started reading
(26/03/2015)
First impression is that the writing is bumpy and gives off an impression of amateur writing. I thought it was published ages ago.
(makes me scared of my
writing)
09/04/2015
I am happy to report that I enjoyed it. It is a good book. But, minor spelling, grammar mistakes are very irritating. |
26.
|
And The Mountains Echoed
|
Khaled Hosseini
|
10/04/2015
It looks promising. I am
enjoying for now. But, Hosseini’s formula for tears had put me off from his
writing of ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’.
