Parsa’s comments from the Karachi group.

The group died due to no activity

I tried looking for Nausea. I didn't find it. I actually found one book of Sartre in second hand shop.. I guess you just have to keep on looking around.

Did u try looking in book festival?

@Asif
Since Isfand is reading this book, he can tell you more. I read some pages ages back and left it so I cant comment much but I have vague remembrance that there were second world war facts.

Can you tell what specific area are u looking recommendation in within non fiction? Your fav shelf look more into self growth books.

@waqas
No thelewalas, sadly. I found a few 2nd hand books but werent interested in them. luckily my roomate is a huge reader. [un]fortunately she is more of a nonfiction person. I need fiction to get me going. But looks like the craving for some real good noir fiction is setting up in me so I might get back to reading.

I never gave up on Gone Girl. I remember I couldnt give up the book. One of the best book from last yr. If you like this, I'll suggest u read defending jacob too.

btw waqas, gone girl is interesting enough.. i remember reading it, I didnt wanted to give it up

I think its stress... but i like the suggestion of not seeing law n order rerun from bookslut [in my case, supernatural] also, I miss having a real book in hand. I am in UAE and all I brought was kindle.

I, on the other hand, is just trying to read. Having a reader's block. Anyone else ever have had the feeling?

Dear sleepy karachiites, what books have been keeping ur spirits high this yr so far

Dear Maliha, I hope to read your book. Best of luck :)

I was probably watching silent hill back then :P

Howz everyone reading

oh yes, I know someone who did that and killed her abusive polygamist husband a yr before. but anyways...

I do not believe that anything is going to change here in Pakistan about the issue. People who use acid are still going to do that and there is extremely high probability that they'll go free too.

Though ofcourse I am glad she won an oscar. :)

If this would be a part of a healthy discussion, I am gonna let it be. Otherwise, I am sorry but I would have to close the thread or del msgs. Consider this a warning.

Blocking mine too

Thats a sad way to put it. Why has it become mandatory to think worse of everything..

What other series? I dont usually opt for them.

I dont know why its so. And no nothing for march, sadly I was away for feb and no one wanted to be mod.. so no march book.

Three in John Cleaver series.

I am waiting for the hunger games movie. I dont think the movie will be able to do justice to book [they rarely do] but I would like to see the whole arena thing on screen. That should be pretty cool.

How did you find hunger games series Famma? I somehow dont want to pick up the other book from Larsson, only because a lot of my time was wasted before the story picked up. May be sometime, though.

I just read I Am Not A Serial Killer. I liked it so I might take on the whole John Cleaver series :)

Why not Mariyam?
