Reading Writing Reviews: New Life
http://chandinisantosh.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-life.html
Grabbing time to read and write from an otherwise hectic day is how I create my own space of sanity and peace. Wednesday, 22 April 2009. I drove out of my h (OM) e and it took just under thirty minutes to bring me to the city of my birth and my life changed. If this line sounds familiar, it’s because you and I have read the mesmerizing opening lines of Orhan Pamuk’s novel, ‘The New Life’, which runs like this – I read a book one day and it changed my life. I am happy I took the decision to drive out.

Reading Writing Reviews: The New Life
http://chandinisantosh.blogspot.com/2008/03/new-life.html
Grabbing time to read and write from an otherwise hectic day is how I create my own space of sanity and peace. Sunday, 16 March 2008. I read a book one day and my whole life was changed.'. Though most reviews including the blurbs say it is a novel about Identity, as all of Pamuk's novels broadly are, I would say, it is more about the effects of globalisation on young and vulnerable minds. What is the book all about? Is it a new message by a new Prophet? Is it a revised and embellished Quran? Pamuk's phil...

Grabbing time to read and write from an otherwise hectic day is how I create my own space of sanity and peace. Tuesday, 10 March 2009. Reading ‘Agamemnon’s Daughter’ (Winner of The Man Booker Prize 2005) written by the Albanian writer Ismail Kadare was a revelation to me. A novella which hardly runs into a hundred odd pages is packed with the vitality of human life, which is the subject Kadare delves into. 8230;…………………. 11 March 2009 at 06:26. 11 March 2009 at 07:45.

Reading Writing Reviews: JOSE SARAMAGO
http://chandinisantosh.blogspot.com/2009/09/jose-saramago.html
Grabbing time to read and write from an otherwise hectic day is how I create my own space of sanity and peace. Saturday, 26 September 2009. Saramago reminds us time and again why he won the Literary Nobel Prize after his most read work, BLINDNESS. His works are living proof of what great writing does to people and why he is considered the most influential of living writers. Every page in the book, though undeniably grotesque, has an multiple insights into life. Each paragraph stuns you while the haza...

Grabbing time to read and write from an otherwise hectic day is how I create my own space of sanity and peace. Saturday, 7 November 2009. I read Kadare’s ‘Agamemnon’s Daughter’ last year and was impressed with his pithy novella. Yesterday I read another of his work, ‘the Blinding Order’ and was mesmerized by the political statements he made through a compelling fantasy. An essential read for serious readers. 8230;…………………. 10 November 2009 at 18:55. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Kannur, Kerala, India.

The ‘Gospel’ follows the life of Jesus Christ from conception to crucifixion, while focusing on a naïve Jesus, who is as human as any other of his times. He is pictured as entirely susceptible to human desires and inclinations. 8230;……………………. The Gospel according to Jesus Christ. The book must be a really good read. By the way, I can't...
