Recently I completed reading Words of Radiance. It's the second book of Stormlight Archive. It's been a while since I read the first one - ' The Way of Kings '. Months actually. 8 months. I like to take a break before moving on to the next one in fantasy series like these. They come once in every 3 years or so.  It's good to read it in intervals till the next one comes.  When I was reading Way of Kings, it took 15 days. And it was around 1200 pages. I enjoyed it a lot. But at that time I wasn't obsessed with the series like I'm now. Words of Radiance was 1328 pages in mass-market paperback version and I finished it in seven days !!! I was so much into it. It was perfect. Brandon Sanderson deserves all the praise he gets for Stormlight Archive.  There were several goosebumps moments in the book. I can't describe them here. It would spoil the book for you. Many times I had to stop reading for a few seconds, just to absorb it. And then resume it ag...

Update The latest book of the Ram Chandra series, ' War of Lanka ' is now available for pre-orders.  You can order it on Amazon using the link below. https://amzn.to/3b78aoT   Raavan - Enemy of Aryavarta the third book of the Ramchandra series was released on 1 July. This book was more interesting. The Secret of Nagas (Book 2 of Shiva Trilogy) was the best work of Amish. This book is just as good. There will be SPOILERS ahead.         One of the reasons for that being since Ravana was 56 years old at the end of the book, he had a long journey right from having nothing but his uncle Mareech in his childhood to support him, a mother and months old brother to protect to be the king of Lanka in the end. He acquired all of it by himself. Though sometimes by bad means. Also, I really liked how gradually the story proceeds. Changes in Ravan both physically and mentally as he grows older. His love for music and painting, knowledge of Vedas, philosophy, trading...

Update The latest book of the Ram Chandra series, ' War of Lanka ' is now available for pre-orders.  You can order it on Amazon using the link below. https://amzn.to/3b78aoT Since Raavan - Enemy of Aryavarta is out now and loved by fans of Amish, I found some of the best quotes in the book. Some of them are from Raavan's point of view and then some by other characters in the book. Nevertheless, as usual, Amish provides the best philosophical insight in his latest book. 1. When you fill a clogged drain with more water than it can hold, it's bound to overflow and contaminate everything around it. When grief overwhelms someone, when they are enraged at what fate has done to them, their fury often overflows and is inflicted upon the world. 2. What you term monster is the fire every successful man has within him. A fire that will not let him rest. A fire that drives him to work hard. To be smart. To be relentless. Focused. Disciplined. For those are the ingredients of su...

 The second issue of Rick & Morty vs D&D series was released on September 26th,2018. Around a month after its first issue was released. The first issue was fantastic. You will love it even if you aren't a D&D fan. Anyone who is a fan of Rick and Morty's signature humour will definitely love this comic. What I liked about Troy little's art is Rick and Morty look closer to their animated counterparts than some of the designs from the main comic series.   In the first issue of the series, Morty went to his grandfather Rick to help to learn the ways of Dungeons and Dragons. However, at the end of the issue, things get crazy once they entered the virtual version of the game. That's when the first comic ended.   At the start of the second book Summer(Morty's sister) and Beth (Morty's mother) is introduced. Anyone watching TV episodes of R&M would, of course, recognize that. They find things all messed up in Rick's room. Meanwhile, Ric...

Heya folks,   I have been reading Patrick Rothfuss blog since he recently started writing on his blog again. Though, not so frequently. Anyway, he discussed his new comic series that he was working on for months. He collaborated with few other people I guess. Now, I haven't read comics since don't know how long. I mean I did want to but there weren't any around. Nor did I ever think of reading again. But I thought why not give this a try. First reason, it's Pat. I loved all two of his books from Kingkiller Chronicles And loved his writing. Maybe this might be the only book or series of him that I can read for the next few years. So I downloaded the comic - Rick and Morty vs Dungeons and Dragons #1, the first issue of the 4 book comic series.    Morty, while in a school bus hears the conversation of his classmates discussing Dungeons vs Dragons game. Bragging about their skills. Morty didn't know a word about D&D. Me neither when I first heard i...

I started reading Christie's books three years ago. The first book was ABC Murder, which was very different from other murder mystery novels I read before. But I liked her writing style. Then I picked Murder on the orient express and thoroughly enjoyed it. So, by now Hercule Poirot was a new detective. Then I read what according to me is the best I read of her - The murder of Roger Ackroyd. Wouldn't go into the details much. But one must read it if he/she is into this genre. When I came across Miss Marple series, I thought Miss Marple is a young lady detective. Charming, wise, intelligent like Poirot. But she is an old lady, but of course with all those qualities of a detective. Somehow, I thought she would be like Oracle in Matrix. You know how she was a soft-spoken, calm and a very observant short hair old woman. The way she was described in the book reminds me of her. I kind of figured out who might be the killer. Or the thought came in very early. So wasn't much...
