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.

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
