Let's alternate between Camus & Orwell today🫨

Okay, I've been dragging this for soo longgg. Let's get done away with this.

I think I'll have to stop it here 😭

Why do these 1900s books often have the juicy plot all stuffed within the last 20-30% pages ? 🫤

Okay, back to this after many days. I wonder if I remember any of what I've read before 🙄.

Restarting this gem from the first.

Back to this again after a twenty-days grind 🤧. Lessss goo!!!

Okay, for an uninformed reader Ambedkar's words could appear very enlightening. Sadly to me (thankfully in the world's case), from the time he's written to today, over the time, all of his ideas had already percolated and settled in the minds of those who need them.

So personally, I didn't find any novelty in his ideas mentioned in this book (or) there's nothing much I see to have gained. 😶

Now the book entered the detective fiction genre. I wonder, must every such story have a court/prosecution scene involved ? 🤔

I still don't understand the fuss about Dostoevsky 😕. Doesn't appear too great to me. Perhaps I should wait till the end.

Good Morning!

Very much possible to make a movie out of this. It has got all the needed ups & downs, twists & turns. I wouldn't be surprised if there already exists many versions of this plot.

Done with the boring Jesuit/Monk Zosima's early life. Phew! 🤧

Back to this. Ambedkar felt a bit preachy.

Okay, Ambedkar sounds somewhat boring this far, guess Arundhati's was the best part 😶

Done with Arundathi Roy's essay. Let's go for the main course now.

Didn't imagine that Gandhi was a low-life pig, two-tounged snake. Disgusting!!

Certainly all the establishments have white washed him too much.

He appears to be no lesser bigot than Hitler.

Okay, Arundhati Roy literally stripped down naked "Mr.Gandhi" to "Mr.Ghandhi".

I need to check when the book was written, some facts seem quite old to grasp but not in their intensity.

The one I'm reading has an Arundati Roy's essay, my first reading of hers.

Going slow.

Going Slow.

Looks like the story has just started 😔

Was expecting this to be a tough read. So far, only breezy.

Okay, Alyosh could be an IN/ENFJ. Ivan could be an IN/ISTP/TJ. Dmitry could be an ESFJ/ESFP/ENFJ.

So far, nothing much happened

Okay, why is the translator's introduction giving me the MBTI analysis vibes of three fellas ?

Looks like, one Ti, one Se and an Fe dominant fellas is the theme.
