  Absurdism: 'a philosophy based on the belief that the universe is irrational and meaningless and that the search for order brings the individual into conflict with the universe'

• The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

  Hearbreaking.

  Alexithymia: the inability to identify and express one's feelings.

  idk man.

• A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

  I am not the man I was before I picked up this book.

  Love this. Its a story about grief, love & healing that revolves around 4 sisters.

• Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

• A Very Easy Death by Simone de Beauvoir

  "if you love life, immortality is no consolation for death"

• Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

  Quite different themes in here. The psychology of the character, the ideas of being another "napoleon", the place, moral dilemmas. A lot of food for thought!

• Sati Savitri by Devdutt Pattanaik

  This was an eye opener. The retelling of Hindu Mythologics, that's way different from the things we were taught. Honestly, this is how it should've been taught.

• The Time Machine by H. G. Wells

  Things aren't that good in the future as well, eh?
