Indian Readers discussion

Hi friends ,
Only a month and a week to go for the new year to approach . Have you formulated your reading goal ? Or is it mostly impulsively selected books ?

In my case

I am participating in the snake and ladders year long challenge here in IR

Will be continuing with armchair travel ,( read books from diff countries ) and Indian reads ..

Also contemplating upon a book a month challenge ..
I.e. select a challenging book from my shelves and see whether I can complete it .


Waiting to hear from you all ...( And steal ideas )

I second this and will participate in a few PIFM.
Will check out this Snake & Ladders Year long challenge = )

Yes, Snakes and Ladder challenge is something that interests me a lot since I'd love to surprise myself with book that I generally wouldn't pick.

secondly, looking forward to reading book series that I haven't finished or popular series that I never managed to start.

I haven't been doing my monthly reading challenges from other groups. So its try to fulfil as many challenges as possible. besides im looking forward to your version of snakes and ladders. Also increases the number of nonfiction books.

1. Snakes and Ladders
2. impulsive BRs by keeping a tap on friend's "started reading", and jumping in.
3. As always, focus on Indian regional lit.

Gorab, I am always tempted to read Indian books when I see your reading progress updates of Regional literature. I'd really love some recommendations for a start!

Sure I'd love to Mak :)
Which Indian vernacular languages are you comfortable with. Do you prefer to read in local languages that you know, or prefer English translations?

I am really looking forward to Snake & Ladder challenge.

other than that my usual challenges like 5 debuts, 5 awards, trying to bring down my tbr numbers. I was looking for few things on my GR bookshelf and noticed that I have 500+ read books from the 10-19 decade. So I am planning to read more books from 00-09. Hope I will stick to the plan.

Thanks :D
I am open to Hindi and Marathi literature books.
I'd go for an English translation only if you think it'd be too challenging to read

This for me. I'm already happy if I can find some free time to read. This year I even didn't manage to finish my IR challenge (Indian authors/books), which I usually complete :-(

Aww dely. Wishing a better year ahead in reading , as well as in every other possible way
