Some books are literary masterpieces, with cleverly crafted plot structures, thought / idea flows, and some others are full of words that you feel like have flown straight from the author’s heart to paper. And this book by Murakami definitely belongs to the latter camp. In this book he shares his story, in a way…

Dear Ijeawele – Best Quotes on How to Raise a Feminist
If you’ve been following my reviews, you’ve seen how head-over-heels I was (still am) for We Should All Be Feminists by this author. And my feelings for that book haven’t changed. I still maintain that it’s the most articulate primer on Feminism that I have come across. But this book, Dear Ijeawele – A Feminist…
My Thoughts On: Why I Killed Gandhi by Nathuram Godse
This is the kind of book/review/subject that warrants a 100 1000 disclaimers, but I am going to offer none. Mostly because I don’t even know where to begin with the disclaimers on this one. What do I even say? Especially when I am so conflicted on how I feel about the assassination, which is at…
Becoming by Michelle Obama – Review-cum-Love Fest
I did not believe I could admire this former FLOTUS any more than I already did. And then I read her memoir Becoming. A class act, like the lady herself, Michele Obama’s Becoming is easily one of the finest memoirs I’ve ever read. It’s her story, in her own words, her journey of Becoming, which…
We Should All Be Feminists – The Book & The Sentiment
This is one book I loved so much that I was afraid I would not find the right words to do it justice and fully express how much it meant to me. But I decided that I was going to try to articulate my feelings anyway, because I believe this is one book that must…
2 Book Recommendations to Start Your Year Right
I have to be honest, I LOVE this time of the year. Not only because it feels like a new beginning (because let’s face it, I understand that it’s really not), but mostly because of all the optimism, enthusiasm & the sheer zest for life I see around me during this time of the year….
3 Books to Boost Your Productivity | Productivity Book Recommendations
I am not sure if I have ever mentioned this here, but over the past several months now, I have found myself veering more and more towards non-fiction, more specifically towards books on productivity & time-management, even though I’ve been reading other sub-genres as well. And this is new for me, because while I have always read…
How To Raise Grateful Kids In An Entitled World – My Thoughts
I came across this book while randomly browsing the shelves at my local library, and right there at that moment, without looking it up, reading reviews, or even checking out the blurb, I decided to pick it up. Because let’s face it, this parenting business is hard. And to be honest, this book’s title spoke…
The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande | Book Review
I’m a compulsive list maker. I make lists for everything, and anything. In-fact I am fast approaching the point where I might need a list to keep track of all my lists (not kidding). Which is to say that, at-least as far as I am concerned, Mr. Gawande was preaching to the choir with this…
Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg – Book Review
The first time that I really took notice of Sheryl Sandberg was when she wrote a Facebook post about losing her husband (this was back in 2015). I am not sure exactly what it was about that post, but I remember thinking about it for days on end, and hoping that things turn out all…
