I have just started Orhan Pamuk's Snow. After My name is Red, I just can't get enough of his writing. Its about his journey to Kars in turkey and learning about the mysteries of the city- suicide epidemics of the young women, the rise in political power of the extremists and corruption.

Book: Perks of being a Wallflower

Author: Stephen Chbosky

Genre: Young Adult

Brief Synopsis:

The book's basically about a guy,actually a teenager,who is totally lonely,after the death of his friend.But after he changes his school,and gets to meet the brother sister duo,his life entirely changes.You see its a bit of love,family problems,and at least one time read.The book is written in the form of a letter.

Comments:

Its amazing.I think as a teen,it was quite adultish for me,but I enjoyed it a lot.I love Charlie,and I can relate any normal teenager,even myself to him.I can even see how difficult it was in 1991/1992 for kids,without any laptops or phones etc and it feels really good to see teenagers at that time.There is even a movie of this book,that came in 2012,and Emma Watson was in it,which is the sole reason I started this book,but I really love Charlie's point of view,and how observant person he is,you won't need a bookmark while reading this,and if you are a good reader then you can complete this in less than 3 hours,and even if you aren't then it might not take you more than two days.Just start reading it,and you will be sleeplessly wanting to finish it.Its crisp,and you will never get bored even for a second.

Love Always,

Rhea <3 (Like charlie always did xP)

Title: A Confederacy of Dunces

Author: John Kennedy Toole

Genre: Comedy, Tragicomedy

Brief Synopsis: A Confederacy of Dunces presents the misadventures of Ignatius J. Reilly, a modern Don Quixote. Ignatius is a behemoth of fat and flatulence, with a gargantuan frame, bushy black moustache, green hunting cap, and blue and yellow eyes that look down on the modern era--and particularly on anything commerical. He views materialistic comforts as "offenses against taste and decency," things that demonstrate a lack of "theology and geometry."

Comments:It's a great book. Professor's stories are inspiring and are about various topics we always wonder about - happiness, love, forgiveness, acceptance.
