A commentary on race , gender and systemic oppression but gift wrapped in a love story .

Surprised at how a book full of so much grief and heartache can also leave you with a smile and a soul full of hope . Have always been a big fan of Doerr’s work and he doesn’t disappoint this time as well . Loved the multiple characters pov format as well.

This is my 3rd autobiographical graphic novel , after Maus and Persepolis. I now truly believe autobiographies should always be written with accompanying artwork. Would have paid much more attention to Gandhi’s My experiment with truth if it came with visual illustrations

A story of an outsider’s struggle to get into a clique of 5 manipulative trust fund babies , with a sprinkling of few murders here and there.The first part was a page turner but becomes a slog later on.

Just started playing the new Spider-Man 2  game, so picked this one up for a quick recap of the Spidey-verse . Wasn’t disappointed. Familiar characters with a new perspective and I have always been a sucker for Parker’s dad jokes .

A good read if you want to indulge in some childhood nostalgia. Pullman’s post story notes were quite insightful and informative.

Begins with a certain audacity, ends with poignancy . The middle is just downright scary cause how did Huxley, in early 1900s ,  predict the trajectory of this society with such precision ?

A messiah’s story of self discovery and forming his own congregation, interspersed with bits and pieces of flying lessons(which are mind numbingly boring).

Had quite  high expectations from this classic but ended up slogging through it till the end. Every conversation in the book has multiple tangents which in turn have numerous digressions. Reading this felt like living inside the head of someone with ADHD and it was exhausting.
