Reading List
- - Khaled Hosseini: A novel about the lives of two girls in Afghanistan, and how their lives intertwine. I’ve read this book before, but I wanted to revisit it.
- - Cixin Liu: A sci-fi novel about the first contact between humans and an alien civilization, set in China during the cultural revolution. Initially I found it slow-paced, but it picks up pace after the first few chapters.
- - Frank Herbert
- - Moeen VN A mythological thriller, set in early India. I met the author on Chruch Street and he gave me a copy of the book. It’s a good read for a beginner, eventhough the writing style is a bit amateurish, and the plot doesn’t make a lot of sense. The math is a bit off, but it’s a good attempt. The ending made me want to read the second part, which is not out yet.
