GUEST POST- Gun Control by Richard Rensberry

Time flies, doesn’t it. Well, this the 12th and the last guest post of the Guest Post program I started earlier this year. Next year, I won’t be conducting this ones a month activity. But if anyone is interested in writing as a Guest for Confessions of a Readaholic, drop an email. Gun Control by Richard Rensberry The recent developments on the gun control front have me scratching my head.  Those who will be violent will be violent whether that have a gun or not.  Gun control is the wrong target when it comes to lessening acts of violence, it only serves to...

POETRY- The Voyage of Oblivion

And who has seen the moon Will see the dawn too, soon But what I cannot promise Is the sun at noon.   It is the Isle of mystery Where you have been dumped And duped by the whole humanity Relentlessly forgotten Left all by yourself.   In other sense you are free Fromm all those norms and taboo From every injustice and corruption That you were forcefully made part of Without a standing ovation.   You can take of the self There is water and air and peace Nothing else that you need While you build the ship for...

Poetry- Wraith of Myself

In a distance I can hear a howl With the fall of the rain, howl is supported Tonight is a lonely night And he stands beside me like a ghost Not listening to what I hear, melonchically.   Under the terrible light I cannot see somebody else It’s all misty there Until the mist Itself tends to takes a shape The shape of myself.   At that troubled end I try to get adjacent I see smoke ash arranged in a motif Later on the ashes gather in the shape The shape of myself.

The College Window

The glimmer of the evening rays Heavy sun of summer, sleepy, Goes past me up the college Wall. Below, in the lawn Insufficient grass, with a rose Standing in the middle, assisted by a hundred thorns. Beyond the lawn, adjoins a pavement; rough and soothe On which passes the world with shadows down at their feet, Going left and right.

What to learn from Dante’s Inferno?

Dante’s Inferno offers a great amount of lessons that are considered to be moral and necessary. Born in Florence to a noble family, and ended up spending almost half of his life in exile Dante presents The Divine Comedy which is believed an epic, with various moral lessons and taking a reader’s conscience in to his grateful imagination that is altogether a different world from what we are living and it’s basis are the same moral values we believe in. In the review, I talked about how iconic it is that a piece of literature like Dante’s can survive almost 700 years and reaching...

BOOK REVIEW: Inferno by Dante Alighieri

Inferno by Dante Alighieri My rating: 5 of 5 stars Imagine that feeling, when you are reading a book and by the end it makes you feel complete. We all have observed that by one or the other book(s). Dante’s Divine Comedy: Inferno is one of them. Written almost 700 years ago, it still has the mesmerizing capacity to capture a human’s attention. It’s iconic for a literary work to survive a 700 years and Dante’s work has reached that status: most people at least know of the Inferno, even if they haven’t read it. Dante’s Inferno, the first third...

365 DAYS, 77 BOOKS! NOW NEW RECOMMENDATIONS

The year 2013 is ending pretty fast for me. Only two days and 40 minutes left. Earlier this year, from day 1, I set a target for myself. Target to read 100 books in 365 days. But I guess, I could not complete it. It was a battle against time, and only a time lord could have won. I am no time lord. But I am happy also, as I could read 28 more books than the last year. So somehow, it is an achievement for me too. This year has been a wonderful reading year for me. I feel I have grown as reader,...

'SOME' SORT OF FICTION

“You cannot be a good writer of serious fiction if you are not depressed.” ― Kurt Vonnegut Don’t worry. You don’t have to be depressed right now. ‘Cause Fiction does not have to be serious all the time. It can be of ‘anything’. It has many kinds too. But only two general kinds of modern fiction are recognized as: Category or Genre Fiction and Mainstream Fiction. Category fiction includes science fiction, suspense, mystery, erotica, Gothic and writers like Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain were two category fiction writers. Mainstream writers like Ernst Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote that kind of fiction which does...
