Life’s a journey. A reader lives a thousand lives for that matter, travels a thousand journeys. So have I and I intend to travel a thousand less traveled roads.

My name is Aman, and I am a twenty-something app developer who likes to keep his nose between the pages. I am the solo blogger here at Confessions of a Readaholic where I am reviewing books since 2013.

I am a sucker for a Victorian classics or crime fiction but I like to dip my toes in all genres available. If a genre has been newly invented, I have probably read a book from it. Apart from book reviews I love to get inside the heads of wonderful writers, and most of the time I tend to record the conversation and share in form interviews.

I am also Slytherin, own a Kindle and not biased between ebooks vs books. I have written for various publications as a contributor or featured writer across the internet, and few offline magazines, not only on books but on technology, productivity, etc.

I have worked directly with publishers such as:

Blogging goes way beyond mere content. It’s a conversation between you and your audience.

I’m attempting to either get someone to programme a basic tracker software or ask you if I, an absolute novice and noob could do it within a week or two.

It’s all for a psychology experiment. What I need is software that will work with a slot machine simulator, tracking the losses and wins in a graph like manner on screen. It’s really basic and needs nothing more than to be able to show how many credits someone is down, or up in real time as they ‘gamble’. So numbers as opposed to an actual graph would work too.

This isn’t some dodgy gambling device it’s for an experiment for my Master’s and is to actually help understand addiction better.

At least there was a couple or three years ago the last time I visited the site. Lottery Post, lotterypostdotcom has a facility allowing ‘members’ [people who register to the site, no cost involved] to predict outcomes of lotteries all over the world, bet imaginary sums, and LP tracks the wins/losses of each individual participating, creates graphs and keeps them onfile indefinitely. Allows ten bets per day per lottery. Hope this might be a help to you.

Aman, Tks for looking at my blog and my review of the “Elegance of the Hedgehog”. You might want to look at other novels and compendiums of short stories that I have reviewed, as I have had more positive feelings about them than the “Elegance of the Hedgehog”. If you like historical fiction and have not read it already, I would suggest for 2014 “The Cellist of Sarajevo.” It is one of the best account of a siege of a city. I will soon review other works I am reading:

“O Jerusalem”- non-fiction about the battle for that city during the war that created the current State of Israel.

“Kamchatka”- young adult fiction during Argentina’s dirty war of the 1970s.

“The Death of Artemio Cruz”- Carlos Fuentes novel

“Crusoe’s Daughter”- Jane Gardam novel

You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy answering my questions 😀

Hey Aman! Thanks for checking out my poem, Morning Time. It was a split second thing really that just popped into my head so I scribbled it down before it could escape. 🙂 I’ll have a look at some of your poems, too. If you’re interested, I’ve just published my first book, ‘The Path Through an Eye of Another’ ( http://smarturl.it/daveynorthcott ). There is a preview on my blog; hope you like it …

I took this opportunity to get in touch with fellow bloggers who share similar interests. I think it’s kind of fun to get to know each other personally.

Participation is not compulsory, I did it for fun, so feel free to join in if you like.

Hi Aman! Thanks for the like. It’s always great to find another bibliophile with a blog. I look forward to reading about the books you read. Hope you stop by Sitting In The Stacks again soon!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I enjoyed reading some of your reviews; I definitely agree with you about James Patterson recently, and I am looking forward to reading The Fault in our Stars. I have been hearing really good things about it; glad to read a good review! That is wonderful that you write poetry! And now, I am going to look up the definition for quodiphile. 😊

Like one of your earliest posts… the “to read before” list… There’s only one book there that I am yet to read… will rectify that shortly!

I haven’t the faintest clue as to how you found my blog, but thanks for liking my post. Keep with with your passion in reading!

Cool! We a lot alike! Ever since I discovered the magic of reading that I’ve been reading like crazy too! Mostly non fiction, but since fiction also makes us smarter (socially, by becoming able to read more emotional cues) that lately I’ve been trying to read more fiction! Nice to meet you and thank you!

Hi Aman, thanks for stopping by my blog and checking it out. I too love reading and funnily enough, am now reading more books than ever before using a Kindle. I was a bit skeptical because I love the smell of books and browsing book stores for new and old titles. I still do that, but living in a small apartment in Japan means space is limited, so a Kindle is perfect. Do stop by again and I will do the same!

And yes, I enjoy writing (can’t yet classify my interest), but there seems a good connect.

Hey! I have been following your blog for quite sometime. I find your blog to be unique and pleasantly different. I was recently honoured with the Versatile Blogger Award and I would like to nominate your blog for the same. I don’t know if you were already nominated for it, but still I would be truly honored if you accept. The rules for the award can be perused at https://dreamingwordz.wordpress.com/2015/01/30/maiden-versatility/

Aman, Thanks for stopping by my blog and liking my review of “The Man Who Walked Away.” My next review will be of Tan Twan Eng’s first novel “The Gift of Rain.” I am not as voracious a reader as others, but it will be my 150th review since I started my blog. There does not seem to be much cross-over between your archive and mine, as I suppose I read more literary fiction.

Thanks for the like on my blog learningtocry.wordpress.com. You have a cool theme and I look forward to perusing your blog!

What a wonderful blog you have. And there’s an Oscar Wilde quote at the top of this page. Ah, one of my favourites. <3 Thank you very much for stopping by my blog and giving a post a like – it's early days yet. I've never forayed into a personal direction before, but was a political blogger and social activist blogger for years before I decided to take a sabbatical to go back to school for social work in November. All that aside, I hope to one day be as accomplished a blogger and bibliophile as you! Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Classics are wonderful. A couple years ago I decided to read the philosophers, Plato, Nietche , and others. Reading the Great books from the time I was a teen has given me a much broader understanding of humanity. Chaucer, The Illiad and Odessy and so many more both prose and poetry expand ones horizons and deepen our connections to the past for understanding our present.

Hi Aman, you “liked’ a post of mine where I pondered whether I should upgrade to the pro wordpress account. Do you use the pro account? Do you recommend it? About four years ago, I had my own self-hosting WordPress powered blog that I honestly didn’t use much because I lost the community of other wordpress bloggers having easier access to my blog and I. $129 is a little stiff, so I am humbling requesting your opinion on this matter. I know this isn’t to do with books, and for that I apologize, but I trust you’d have the knowledge necessary in order to make a well-rounded suggestion to me. Thanks so much.

Well I guess, there very less pros of having a pro account on wordpress. I don’t run my personal blog on pro but I used to manage a pro account for an organisation a few years back. It’s upto you. If only you want the domain name to be yours, and do not want to include ‘wordpress’ you can buy a domain name at much cheaper price then $129. And lastly, you don’t have to apologise if it’s not about books.

Thanks for Liking and reading my post “Reading Books as a Last Resort” (or I’d like to assume you read it as I never know whether bloggers really read what they Like). I would read Iliad but, as you gathered from my post, it’s not something I would do. I’m envious you’re such a voracious reader and enjoy reading so much. Thanks for touching base, my friend.

I have a pithy interest in the marvels our tiny planets offers us as well as the often glorious antics its inhabitants get up to so you can be sure I shall catch up with what you’re doing as often as I can.

Meanwhile, if you have the time and the inclination I will be honoured if you would take a look at my latest novel, Swell. If you do and you’re moved to purchase a copy and for whatever reason you don’t enjoy reading it, I will happily refund you in full. Click here for more details https://rivenrod.wordpress.com/writing/

We’re bunch of 20year old that work on surprising people of bangalore city with bundles of books handpicked and delivered to them. We work on bringing delight to the busy working professional who are also crazy book lovers by making sure they have their material to read every month without worrying about which books to read or where to get it from.. 🙂 We are working on changing the world, one book at a time 🙂

I know it’s probably a long shot for you to see this. But taking my remote chances.

Also, could you tell me how you sent me that message? Do you know what that ‘feedback’ tab is? I am so confused. Hope you’re doing well! x Emmie

I will be starting a monthly blog post in which I interview other bloggers. If you’d like, I can email you the questionnaire but currently I have no plan to start that monthly blog post series.

I’m looking forward to our next encounter. Until then, may I boldly ask you to take a look at my latest novel, Swell. You will find reviews and previews here: http://wp.me/PXk9K-259

If, by any chance, you would like to review my work, please contact me @ rivenrod@rocketmail.com and I will happily send you a copy.
