India’s Struggle for Independence by Bipan Chandra

Creation In Death by Nora Roberts
Eve Dallas is the main character star in this book, Creation In Death by Nora Roberts. But for this book specifically, she has put her pen-name known as J.D. Robb, a name that I find uniquely queer but suits the voice in her writing. Perhaps we have always …
The Wishbones by Tom Perrotta
Best known for his book Little Children because of its recent success as a film, Tom Perrotta’s first novel, The Wishbones, may actually be his best. It is the story of Dave Raymond, a 31-year-old New Jersey man who still lives with his parents and works part-time as a …

Fight Club,Chuck Palahniuk
Yes, this is the book that the movie was based on. If you liked the movie at all, then you will love the even more perverse book.

That Hideous Strength by C.S.Lewis
The first thing most readers say about That Hideous Strength, Book 3 of the Space Trilogy by C.S.Lewis, is that it is very different from the first two. I agree, the book is, indeed, very different. First of all, it is not science fiction. Instead of taking us on …
Francine Prose’s Close Reading
Personally, I definitely agree with numerous excerpts from this work by Prose. Her ideas and thoughts definitely mirror my own. Although this might not be true for everyone, it certainly is true for me. Some works of art (be it visual, text, or audio) can start making your mind …
The Adventure of the Bruce Partington Papers
Every once in a while, I’ll come across a Sherlock Holmes adventure that has a case so realistic, I can’t help but wonder if it was really based off of some sort of top secret incident.

The Stepford Wives book
The Stepford Wives (written by Ira Levin and published by Bloomsburry in 1998)

Tech Smart Technology Magazine Publication
Now if this technology magazine actually cost anything, I would honestly say that it was true value for money, but the fact that it is completely free constitutes my acclaiming it as true value for time instead.
The Tech Smart technology magazine is something I look forward to picking up …
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
I read Angels and Demons after having watched the movie. I am very glad that I watched the movie first because I would have been very dissapointed if I had read the book first. The book is very different from the movie. I don’t know …
The New Year Eve’s Murder
The New Year Eve’s Murder (by Lee Harris, published by Ballantine Books, 1997)

Tower of Destruction book
Tower of Destruction, by Keith Martin, is a fairly late entry in the long-running Fighting Fantasy series of solo gamebooks, having first been published in 1991 and coming in at number 46 in the original Puffin sequence. It is not one I would consider a classic, and nor does …

The kindly ones, by Johnatan Littel, Book
I admit I bought this novel out of pure curiosity.
I imagined that a book that won in France both the Goncourt prize, and the French Academy prize may be at least interesting. If not even a good book. And I was not wrong.

Point of Origin story
Point of Origin was written by Patricia Cornwell and published by Berkley Books, 1998.
The story could have been good, if not for the dreary medical and forensic jargon and unnecessary details of tedious proceedings. These do not impress; I suspect these are to fill up space for …

Life and Death in Shanghai

Search and Rescue book
I am reviewing the book, Search and Rescue, written by Melissa Crandall. This book was written in 1994, and has 232 pages to its length. Anyone familiar with Quantum Leap is familiar with Dr. Sam Beckett and Admiral Al Calavicci, not to mention Gooshie, Ziggie, and all …

The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien

Starting Out in the Evening by Brian Morton
I found this book in the mystery, thriller section. But its not, which still bugs me. It’s a beautiful book. It’s about family and the relationships in it. Like a strict father and a free spirit daughter. You feel like you know these characters like your best friend. But …
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
