I used to be lurker on the other place. Now that I am here, wanted to become more active and contribute more.

As title suggest, which book you are reading this week?

I am reading India that is Bharat by J Sai Deepak.

    The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It’s the first book in the Kingkiller Chronicle series.

      That is really good one. I completed the first 3 books, and man it was really good. Even after these many years, it still holds up.

        If you enjoyed the epic world-building and intricate plot of “Dune,” then “Hyperion” is a must-read. Set in a far future where humanity has spread across the galaxy, this science fiction masterpiece follows a group of pilgrims on a dangerous journey to the mysterious planet of Hyperion. The book masterfully weaves together multiple narratives, exploring themes of time, destiny, and the nature of consciousness. With its richly developed universe and complex characters, “Hyperion” offers a similar sense of grandeur and depth as “Dune.”

    How are you finding that book, OP?

    As for myself, I am reading The Forever War by Joe Haldeman.

    I was actually looking forward to read this. But I am not finding it to be that engrossing. It even made me lose the reading streak I had going since the start of the year. :-(

    Does anyone know if the story picks up pace, and becomes interesting? I am in chapter 11 of the first volume.

      I would say that it makes compelling arguments, but yes the language that is used to write is not that common, it uses the Thesis format, may be that is why it may be hard for some to follow. But yes, once you get hang of it, it is easier to read and refer the references for more context.

    I’m reading a book called “The Dying Day” by Vaseem Khan. It’s #2 in a series. It’s a simple murder mystery set in early independent Bombay!

    It’s okay. I like a decent series and I’m looking forward to the next one!
