The Village | Nikita Lalwani
Panpan

Nikita Lalwani‘s literary novel about prisons, personal morality and the manipulative techniques of documentary film-makers has some interesting ideas but hinges on a main character who is simply too naive and weak to be believable or one who I could empathise with. At the same time, I was uncomfortable with how two-dimensional the Indian characters all are - including Nandini - while the open ending felt like a tacked on cop-out.

#booksandcoffee Reading this book is like being inside a sensory kaleidoscope. 😀 Happy Friday!

Each one is better than the last. I appreciate learning the culture of Zoroastrians. There is so much I don't know.

Oof. This is a tough one… all about how personal ambition can lead people to do the wrong thing for someone else; how easy it is to push someone down for your own gain. It‘s a powerful debut, maybe not quite as strong in the second act… but lots of promise. Looking forward to book group - both of my library groups are reading this one this year!

Any opinions on which of these to start in on next?

Trying to knock out my #BOTM reading challenge. 😂

marleed I read both and my favorite of the two is Silver Elite. 1mo
Melismatic @marleed are you a romantasy girlie? I‘m trying to get into the vibe…I‘m going to take your advice and try Silver Elite first. 💖 1mo
marleed @Melismatic 🤣No, the lusting in romantasy is for me a distraction from an otherwise entertaining story. I‘m good with a classic ‘R‘ rating but romatasy sometime skirts porn. It‘s kinda of like a comedian saying fuck so often in a routine that I can no longer focus on the jokes. This from a girl who has no problem throwing down her own f-bombs🤣. But I thought the tagged was a miss because of needed research on Stockholm syndrome. 1mo
Melismatic @marleed ahh good to know bc I think I‘m much like you when it comes to the spicy for spicy sake of it all 😂 fingers crossed 1mo
marleed @Melismatic 🤣🤣when you‘re done reading, scroll down on the book to read my post🤪 1mo

Indian Mythology | Devdutt Pattanaik
post image

Devdutt Pattanaik, a renowned mythologist, explores Purushartha—the four aims of human life in Hinduism. These include Dharma (righteousness and moral duty), Artha (material wealth and prosperity), Kama (pleasure and emotional fulfillment), and Moksha (spiritual liberation and self-realization). Pattanaik highlights how these goals help individuals balance ethics, wealth, desires, and spirituality, leading to a fulfilling and harmonious life.
