November Reading


Last month, I started up Asimov's collection of 17 short stories titled "Earth is Room Enough" and ended up reading half of them. This month, the remaining half got completed. It has been a delight to read.

 
The month was otherwise a very busy month and I was not keeping well either so that is again reflected in the lowest reading score of this year (and probably lowest in past couple of years).

I managed to read only 2 novels and 9 short stories clocking in a score of 11 for this month.

 

1        Novel: The Mayan Codex by Mario Reading

2        Asimov Shorts: Satisfaction Guaranteed by Isaac Asimov

3        Asimov Shorts: Hell-Fire by Isaac Asimov

4        Asimov Shorts: The Last Trump by Isaac Asimov

5        Asimov Shorts: The Fun They Had by Isaac Asimov

6        Novel: The Himalayan Revelation by Pankaj Misra

7        Asimov Shorts: Jokester by Isaac Asimov

8        Asimov Shorts: The Immortal bard by Isaac Asimov

9        Asimov Shorts: Someday by Isaac Asimov

10    Asimov Shorts: the Author's Ordeal by Isaac Asimov

11    Asimov Shorts: Dreaming is a Private Thing by Isaac Asimov

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
