Grumps and rants

Hello there all, It has been ages I've had made any post. I've been extremely held up with lives on professional as well as personal front. Of all the things I'm still doing is slowly and slowly reading books. I had decided to chuck book-list but I am going to go against it for no reasons whatsoever. I read following books in my available time in the year 2019: Drug war politics: the price of denial Troublemaker by Linda Regan Adam bede by George Elliot The ragged edge of night by Olivia Hawker Pelican by John Grisham Going home by  Nora Roberts Shalimar the clown by Salman Rushdie A polish doctor in the nazi camps by Barbara Rylko-Bauer   In shock by Rana Awdish If I look at it, it is less than one book a month that is an abysmally low count by any measure. Year 2020 is no where going to be close to this list as I picked some long and old books that are considered classics and all time best. It took a great deal of me to complete them.  Let us hope this year end on a goo...

I bought Troublemaker by Linda Howard on kindle as this was shown on my home screen. I purchased it looking at the ratings, title and thought to give a try as the author was unheard of. I finished reading it in around ten days and the reason I read it so quickly was that I had wanted to see when the title of book plays role.  The book begins with an attack on Morgan who works for an agency. In his journey to recover from a near-fatal attack he meets Bo (Isabelle) in a sub-urban Virginia town who is a police chief of town.  Book traverses how Morgan and Bo fall into love, flirt and how a lovely dog gets to be a focal point of plot. Novel is set in a small town where author does an A-OK job about case which Bo as a chief leads but nothing fancy about it. I'm truly disappointed the way book progresses. The book erroneously and perpetually revolves over the golden retriever dog (Tricks). With all due respect I love dogs and golden is my favorite. Dog's food time, dog's...

Hello everyone and holiday greetings to all of you! It's that time of the year where I share my list of books read, to be joyous and to be disappointed, sadly. Earlier I'd listed books in the year of  2017 . This year hasn't been a remarkable one with respect to novel reading. Following are the books I read in 2018: Blade Still Alice The girl who played with fire The girl who kicked the hornet's nest Disobedience  Boardwalk Empire - the birth, high times and corruption of Atlantic city The Girl on the train I'm of-course disappointed with the number of books read this year and with the content I'd read in these books. I didn't really enjoy these books save one or two. I wish to improve on both these in the upcoming year. See ya!

Tonight marks the end of year 2017. I'm at rest with the year-end and at peace how things have shaped up. I've few good news for the year-end; holidays are all lightened up for me. It's hard for me to express my solace with recent developments. Keeping the spirits high I'm listing books I read in 2017 as I'd done for 2016 : Anna Karenina translated by Constance Garnett City of thieves Night by Elie Wiesel translation by marion wiesel  Rape of Nanking the forgotten holocaust of world war II Dawn by Elie Wiesel Animal farm Old man and sea by Ernest Hemingway Day by Elie Wiesel Of mice and men Now the Hell will start One Soldier's Flight from the greatest manhunt of world War II  by Brendan I. Koerner To kill a mocking bird The martian by Andy Weir The Media Monopoly    The Grapes of wrath Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini  The heart divided by Mumtaz  Train to Pakistan  The Namesake  The girl with the dragon tatto...

After a sabbatical, I returned to my maneuver of losing myself into novel(s). This time, I picked the much talked and rated as one of the best sellers of year 2013, Inferno by Dan Brown. The novel is 5 th by author. I missed The Lost Symbol , shall get it soon though. Without losing your attention, I will take you through my experience of it. If you have read other works of Brown, then you would be familiar of his art of gluing you with small intricacies of art and designs. He never refrains from going into the minutest detail of culture,  history, and of course architecture. If you had enjoyed his previous books, this is definitely a go-go for you then. Wait, read the next paragraphs. Book again revolves and begins with Robert Langdon. This time he wakes up in Florence, Italy, with a wound on the back of his head. Suffering from amnesia, story kick starts. One sign leading to other and the chain-reaction continues. I was thrilled by the way it i...
