The Famished Road

Oh I'm madly in love with this book and the writer and Africa and Azaro and with every charecter in the book.Set in a Nigerian village, this is the first in a trilogy of novels which tell the story of Azaro, a spirit child. Azaro's narrative is continued in Songs of Enchantment (1993) and Infinite Riches (1998).His writing takes you away in another world.

Ben Okri won the Booker prize for this novel in 1991.

Wise & Otherwise by Sudha Murty

This is a beautiful compilation of her write ups. Through this book you really understand the kind of person Sudha Murthy is and feel all is not wrong with the world

Some stories/articles make me uneasy in my cozy room, some make me cry. And some fill me with hope of light and the determination to light a candle, start somewhere.
