Hinesh Vithal I've just finished 'The Tao of Pooh' by Benjamin Hoff. I highly recommend! A simplistic and entertaining introduction to the Taoism philosophy.

After reading and enjoying the 'The Snowman' by Jo Nesbo some years back, I've decided to read more about the detective character Harry Hole. The best place to start is the beginning so i'm reading the first book in the Harry Hole series called 'The Bat'.
On the physical pile is 'Gentleman in Moscow' and 'Everything is f*cked'.
In the kindle pile is 'The gunslinger' and 'Lady in the lake'.

The most entertaining and unputdownable book i've read this year was 'The silent patient'. Go out and get a copy!
Hinesh Vithal The bedroom window clicks ajar and creaks ever so slightly; welcoming in an icy draft as my only companion.
A ruffle in my sheets, a shiver down my spine, a foreign hand on my leg and then... darkness engulfs.
Hinesh Vithal Thankfully I have not encountered much writers block thus far, however on the odd occasion where there's been a Mexican standoff with my laptop, I end up increasing the volume of the music playing in the background. I instantly get absorbed into the music and this allows my mind to lose focus which I find is needed before i can refocus on my writing again.
Hinesh Vithal I love how a story unravels. I generally plan out on a high level what I am going to write but many times, the writing takes a life of its own and I am many time surprised with the outcome.
Hinesh Vithal Keep a notebook. Write down whatever comes to mind. Something will strike a chord and when it does, don't write it off. Keep going and don't stop!
Hinesh Vithal I am currently working on a novel which I am not too sure how to classify. At the moment i am calling it a 'Romance' novel but it might morph as time goes.
Hinesh Vithal Inspiration comes to me at any moment and therefore I always carry a little notebook in which I jot down my ideas.
While writing, however, I find that I am most inspired while having some music playing in the background.
Hinesh Vithal I had visited the Kruger National Park in South Africa and while on a game drive, a thought occurred to me:
We are travelling through the park viewing the various animals but what if these animals were watching us in return? What if the animals had devised an entire governing structure that was geared towards their human visitors?
This was the idea that gave birth to the National Park Trilogy.
