khakras and sanderson

i understand my 'i'mtoobusytoreadwhine' posts are getting boring.

instead, i give you a picture of where i woke up this morning. :) (it's a village called gajapura, about 80 kms from godhra, gujarat. i noticed only later that my finger got in the way.)



anyway, since i've been travelling, trains are reading conducive. but since i'm constantly exhausted, i've gone back to reading stock fantasy, and as a refreshing change (kill me later for using the term), chick lit.

so in the first half of the past ten days, i finished the books from stormlight archive by brandon sanderson (2 nos.) it was quite belatedly that i realized that this wasn't, in fact, the series that he has managed to finish just yet. which was quite a bummer because now i have to wait till spring 2016. suxx. it read like standard fantasy, and it was just what i needed because it wasn't too involving. the plot isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so it's easy to put it down and go to sleep. i understand that neither of those things is a compliment.

on the sixth day, i finished saba imtiaz's 'karachi, you're killing me'. like i kept telling everyone who asked - it was fun! i don't think it was meant to accomplish anything serious. and it was hugely predictable. but also cute! and fun! yay!

the next few days have been spent reading brandon sanderson's mistborn series (2 nos.) suffice to say, stormlight archive is way nicer. this is... okay, i guess. it keeps losing its sense of narrative often. but i look forward to starting on the third book nevertheless.

i also have a copy of nam le's 'the boat' that i'm lugging around everywhere. what can i say, reading sanderson off kindle on my phone is more convenient?

anyway, more khakras just arrived. and work, i'm not mentioning work.
