That’s really impressive, Neeru! I especially like the variety of books that you reviewed. I think it’s always good to read different things – even things out of the ‘comfort zone.’ It’s part of what broadens one’s thinking, in my opinion.

Absolutely right, Margot. the out-of-the-comfort-zone does broaden our experience. However, I don’t think my reading has that much variety as I would like it to have. Perhaps this year:)

Great job with this challenge too Neeru. I must try something by Oppenheim soon.

Thanks Mallika. Oppenheim can be very hit-and-miss but I really liked this novel of his. If you do get to reading him, I’d love to know your views.
