1 - The Bees by Laline Paul
2 - We Should All Be Feminists by Chimananda Ngozi Adichie
3 - [book:Second-Hand Time|268544..."

This is quite the shopping spree...all new?

I frequently use Wodehouse for this sort of reading. Or nonfictional essays of which I have a giant pile permanently waiting.

It is such a trippy book, but interesting at same time. Constantly keeping me on toes."

Love that book.

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is nice prose. Slow moving for the first half and very well written. It paints a picture of England that seems very probable, despite its fantastical leanings (or maybe because of it?). It picks up pace in the second half. I remember enjoying it and reading the first half sparsely and the second at a fast speed. I enjoyed it, and that concludes my two cents.

Yeah, definitely. Progress or anything else.

A thread for the Delhi+Gurgaon Chapter. All members are welcome to post/ask questions!

I just bought .

Dude, Storm Front was really fun to read. :D
Thanks a bunch"

@Varun. I have good news for you: it is only going to get better.

Sounds like a plan. Do share what you think.

Storm Front has been on my tbr..."

It does have around 14 books in the series though. And Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is also great.

I like the Dresden Files, they are quite entertaining and have a very fast pace. The first person narrative of the main character Harry Dresden is also amusing.

Hi Parikshit, glad you joined in! Check out the reading challenge and other threads you might find interesting.

But I'm not sure if I could manage reading it before the meet."

It is not happening on the 15th if that's what you're worried about.

I like your choices, my friend.

I've had it on my wish list for a while. But the price refuses to go down.

Shivam wrote: "I'm reading , almost at the end. One thing's for sure, I'm never gonna trust any women after this."

I would recommend also not trusting any men.

Nidhi wrote: What?"

Yeah...only read the first three.
