This Blog currently features reviews of my reads since August, 2013 and other books related posts. The books are not restricted to any genre - the "Bookshelf" will have a fair representation of Classics, Fantasy, Mysteries, Thrillers, Sci-Fi, Non Fiction, Philosophy, Humour & Horror - Plays and Poetry may constitute a minority. In future, I may consider adding a few posts on Manga, Mahnwa and Graphic Novels.
