Literary Exploration discussion

Apart from Wolf, Wolf, what are you reading this month?

I'm finishing off Underworld and then plan to read Fever at Dawn and City on Fire

The Folded Earth by Anuradha Roy
Raag Darbari by Shrilal Shukla
Serious Men by Manu Joseph
Farthest Field by Raghu Karnad
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

SINGING BIRD BY ROISIN McAULEY
QUALITY OF SILENCE BY ROSAMUND LUPTON

Right now I just started The New York Trilogy and will be finishing up Doctor Zhivago. Will try to get to this month's read as well as make more progress on the reading challenge later in the month.

I just finished up a book I won in a giveaway: The Man His Father Was. I'm also reading Gardens of the Moon for another book club read.

Billy Budd by Herman Melville

I just started on My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante. Such a beautiful voice and insightful exploration of friendships.

Wow! You are a hero, you read War and Peace. All the parts?

I read Collective Mind in March. Worth reading sci-fi.

Kani she, how did you like Farthest afield. I read a review and want to read it. Sounds interesting but I need it to be well-written.

I'm still reading it. Its a HUGE endeavor. I just began last month. I'll take another month to finish it as i'm reading other books as well

It gives you a personal perspective of WW2 through the eyes of a few friends and family. It is very beautifully written and creates its own world of its characters involvement in the war. It walks on the line between fiction and non-fiction. But you tend to struggle when the narrative shifts from a personal to a broader perspective with all the war details pouring in. But its definitely a good read.
