A delightful read for any tintinophile!!
The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing
reflective
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
3.5
One of the best feminist fiction out there . I am sure Anna’s journey of self discovery will resonate with women (and men) readers of every era .
The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
fast-paced
3.5
Reading this felt like a therapy session where you achieve a sudden moment of clarity . One of those few books that I’d want to hold onto for the rest of my life .
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
4.0
Man vs Nature . Nature wins . Man’s spirit is still undefeated.
Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
fast-paced
3.75
I don’t think this is a preamble to Buddhism ( as is suggested by many ) . Instead it felt like a book about various relationships in our lives and how they end up moulding us and our soul .
The Stranger by Albert Camus
3.0
I believe every reader will relate to the protagonist on some level or the other and that’s what makes it a good read .
Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder
slow-paced
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
2.5
Less of Sophie’s world , more of a patronising old man’s world . A slow read but one can’t expect a philosophy book to be a page turner .
