BOOK REVIEW: Murderous Greed by Arun Nair

BOOK REVIEW: Murderous Greed by Arun Nair

Posted February 6, 2018 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books / 0 Comments

Crime Fiction is one of my favourites genre to read. I can read books falling under this genre in no time. In my reading years, after reading both classics and contemporary crime fiction novels, I have concluded that a good crime fiction is written with variant in its narrative pace. Not only it keeps the reader driving forward, continue the guess work, but it eliminates the possibility of having dragging components in between. Murderous Greed by Arun K is an excellent example of that.

GUEST POST: My experience with AudioBooks by Crafty Reader

GUEST POST: My experience with AudioBooks by Crafty Reader

Posted January 23, 2018 by @amanhimself in Books, Guest Post / 12 Comments

Audiobooks isn’t a very new trend. It is a rather a new commercial trend. I first came across the very idea of audiobook when I was watching the movie The Reader(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0976051/). In the movie, Hanna couldn’t read or write but loves listening to stories. So, throughout her life, her lover records readings of books and mails them to her. Of course, by the time movie was released, audiobooks were already in the market but not as popular as they were are now. Yet, it was still a curiosity and alien idea to me, until a few days back, when I planned on reading 120 books in 365 days.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Maia Duerr

AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Maia Duerr

Posted January 20, 2018 by @amanhimself in Books, Interviews / 1 Comment

  Published: December 2017 by Parallax Press I recently, got a chance to have a QnA with Maia Duerr, the author Work That Matters. Q. What is the book (or books) you’ve given most as a gift, and why? Or what are one to three books that have greatly influenced your life? Two books that have informed how I move through the world are Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, and Let Your Life Speak by Parker Palmer. Sometimes I give each of those as gifts to dear friends, knowing what a difference they’ve made in my life! Both those books invited me into an experience that was deeper than the words on the page. Zen Mind, Beginner’s […]
