A book that revealed nothing yet satisfied every corner of the heart,
A story that seemed to offer nothing yet somehow delivered everything,
And a girl who never had a name yet carried every possible form of identity.

I've other books of this series but I couldn't find this one. I am willing to buy second hand if it is in a really good condition. This is for my sister who is in abroad and I have to sent it to her. So, for that reason it needs to be in a good condition.

I want to read Game of thrones. Where can i buy them? Also, if anyone is willing to rent them, do tell.

I really like magical realism. There’s something about out of the ordinary things happening within the ordinary lives of the characters and them just treating it like it’s the most normal thing ever.(like this guy just accepting that he talks to cats now..or when this lady just ascends to heaven all of a sudden in front of all her family who are not one bit surprised but actually quite annoyed that she took the expensive linen sheets with her..or when a magical colonel sanders look alike pimp appears and the character just follows him around without question)

The author Murakami does this really well..i’ve read Kafka on the shore and currently reading a wild sheep chase..both are awesome in this regard…also one hundred years of solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Happy to know what everyone else is into :)

Just finished the book. The ending wasnt bad.

The chapter that was unfinished still irritates me. What did yall think of this book.

For me, i will be honest, so this was the first book i read that was written by Kafka, the whole process of reading through it was very painful, the book felt frustruating af. And it defo shows how ur freedom is at others mercy and how it can all end just due to some random shit. Also threw shade at the hellhole of the burecracy, where the common man doesnt know shit about whats going on, and how much frustryating the process is. The writer defo made me feel the characters frustruation.

Story ko setting of the court felt straight out of alice in wonderland or harry potter. Kasto hawa chha sab court ko settings haru, magney ko ghar ko chhat ma, characters ni tettikai strange sab. Its as if the court and the real world are different worlds but bistara mix vairako jasto lagney.

Ani i think the part that was deep af, was prolly tyo priest ko story of the man, the gatekeeper and the law. That chapter showed how, hami aafuley nai aafulai shackle garchham, the man could have simoly walked away from the door tara he stayed till the end of his life. Yo wala story or chapter will be something i will be rereading for quite a bit, cause i dont think i have actually got what it meant suru ko read ma.

So overall, padhda dikka lagchha book. Welp atleast for me it was torture, kati bistara padhnu parney. The writing kinda feels hostile, as if it were meant to be sakesamma uncomfortable to read.

I run a bookclub that is composed primarily of Nepalis in the US with a spatter of Nepalis based in Nepal and other places. We started off with The Kite Runner as the first book since its themes of civil war, migration and ethnic tensions seemed relevant to Nepali readers. The choice has proven to be tremendous, with all of us loving the book and finding so many parallels to draw with our own experiences growing up in Nepal. Now I am thinking of what our next book should be and I want your recommendations, with the only requirement being that the book should be socially relevant to Nepalis who're living outside the country.

Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake is one of the books I am considering, and would like to hear your recommendations.

Oh, and if you want to join the bookclub, do reach out. We meet weekly.

i used to speed read and that's all. and whenever i came to something that i wanna keep, i use onenote to note the text. and whenever i read a physical book, i usually don't have any notes. so, i loose all the ideas from the book and i have like half bake ideas or knowledge without re-inforcement.

since, i am willing to take reading more seriously now, i want to make a note or book notes habit.

and for that, i just watched a video. this reader, underlined the physical book. i can't do that. i don't want the next reader of the book, go through all the annoying underlines.

can you suggest me a better way or your way of reading non fiction book or just tell me about your way of reading books

Just completed reading Animal farm, and realized Napoleon and the pigs reflect what communists party in Nepal have become today.
Just an opinion tho….
