Books/Novels Discussion Thread V1: Literary Gems

[sling-shot]

Last 7-8 months reading a lot of bengali books.
Decreased buying and reading english novels.

Bengali books genre: Horror and supernatural.
Exploring works of veterans and total newbie FB writers.

lot of new concepts, approach. Not great always, but, even if I get to read 1 good story out of 10 is good for me.

Last english novel read "One Arranged Murder" by Chetan Bhagat.
(now don't make faces, kinda became a ritual of reading his books since "5 point someone" )

I feel that people want to feel intellectually superior by deriding his works.

I like some of his works, and not so much some others (not yet read this latest one).

He for sure started a new generation on reading Indian English writers. He has also spawned a genre of easy English writing.

To each his own. Don't be apologetic.

No judgements from me.

Exactly.

Not a book but a creepy pasta narration. You both might like it. Quite short.

if you're into books that make you think about life and death, check out "Mortality" by Christopher Hitchens. It's a real eye-opener about his own battle with illness and how it changes the way you see everything. It's deep, personal, and super engaging. A great read for anyone who likes to dive into serious topics and see life from a different angle
