Bookless in Baghdad – A reader’s delightful stroll through 230 pages
The writer in Tharoor has always fascinated me. I have found his prose very beautiful. I have to admit that I say so by only reading his ‘India: From Midnight to the Millennium’. But in this trip I bought a few of his books and read his superbly written collection of essays ‘Bookless in Baghdad’. This journey has given me good reading time. The book … Continue reading Bookless in Baghdad – A reader’s delightful stroll through 230 pages
Yuval Noah Harari’s ‘Sapiens’
I was in two minds to write a review on Yuval Noah Harari’s book ‘Sapiens’. My first thought was to do a combined review after I finish Homo Deus. But that will take time as two other books have come in between. So here we go on Sapiens. Sapiens has been on my reading list for a while, but anything over 300 pages kind of … Continue reading Yuval Noah Harari’s ‘Sapiens’

Josh Hanagarne’s The World’s Strongest Librarian is a Must Read
Just finished Josh Hanagarne’s The World’s Strongest Librarian. I picked it from the Library more for it’s title than it’s content. But I should say the content is way more stronger than the title. Hats Off to Josh for writing such an honest memoir and taking people like me into many worlds that I had very less knowledge of. The book’s subtitle says ‘A Book … Continue reading Josh Hanagarne’s The World’s Strongest Librarian is a Must Read
