From now on, i'll try to update this blog weekly. Just to tell everything I did regarding books in the past week. That sounds better than no updates at all.
This week i finished reading Under The Dome by Stephen King. The book is as kickass as Stephen King can be. There is no doubt that die hard King fans would love this book and so would anyone who gets introduced to King now. But if you've not read Stephen King by now, i can only feel sorry for you. Really truly.
Under The Dome, the book is about a town that is placed, well, under a dome. The seclusion from the outside world creates a new political and cultural ecosystem in the town and things start going very very wrong very very soon in the book. Sufficient to say, the bodycount is super high and King delivers!
A must read. Under The Dome.
In other news, I bought One Hundred Years of Solitude. Marquez is a genius, or so I have heard, but somehow I've always avoided his books. There have been enough Marquez fans in my knowledge who'd often guide me towards his books, but I always said no. This time, I bought that book. But to my disappointment, even as I opened the book, the quality of paper and the quality of words printed on that paper was below average. Penguin India needs to brush up their act. A consumer pays 300 bucks for a book and gets below standard quality, who goes to blame? I can easily download an ebook and get a print of the book, at a fraction of original's price, but that won't be cool.
Anyway, here's hoping for a better quality of books from Penguin India.
