borrowed and read<\/p>\n

The Housekeeper and the Professor by Ogawa Yoko<\/p>\n

This book was on the recommended reads list at my local library. I am so glad I picked it up. Such a rare relationship detailed with similicity. And add math to it. A very different kind of book and I highly recommend it.<\/p>\n

The Thing Around Your Neck by Adichie Nogozi<\/p>\n

A collection of short stories that take you deep into Nigeria and life there. Some haunting, some scary, some beautiful. Life around the world is sometimes so similar.<\/p>\n

One Flew over the Cuckoo’s nest by Ken Kesey<\/p>\n

Funny, witty, scary and sad. The characters were beautifully defined. I can still see Mrs.Ratched and the Chief with his mop in front of my eyes. A good read<\/p>\n

The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro<\/p>\n

The second book by the author I am reading. For some reason I expected a since fiction more like Never let me go<\/a> – boy what a change. I did not love this book because I found it a little too dry. It more documentary kind than a masala movie kind. If you get the difference. It was good but dragged on. A great peep into the English butler’s life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
