The King of the Sea by Nandan Gautam:


I am blank as the book is! I literally do not know what I should talk about the book as the book is itself about nothing but everything.

Have you ever thought beyond our lives? Why do we live? What is that after we get everything that we run after? What is there at the end? And a big WHY?!

This book is truth and not any illusion or just thoughts. I agree with what I think the author conveyed through the book because I think not everyone can interpret the book in the same way. It could be unique for every reader of this book. As said in the beginning of the book, it was entirely my choice and my own mind that constructed a story with the words put in by the author. It's a story but not a story as such.

The life of man is portrayed as a long and everlasting journey in a ship which doesn't know its destination. The crew in the ship keeps  travelling with a hope that they would see land/destination one day which is us who keep living with the hope that life would one day turn out as we wish. But there is this captain who leads the ship to nowhere knowing that there is no destination to reach but keeps motivating the crew. So this captain is the one, he may be the God or the supreme being that we all trust who only knows that life is all about sailing and that sailing has no destinations. He knows that all are the same.

It was a wonderful journey reading this book as it threw up ideas that I have never ever thought about. It gave me a kind of relaxation and lots of insights on life. There is this life that we must undergo no matter what but above all nothing is going to change how much ever we try. Because the life is destined and has to be lived. We have no choice.

So this book may sound spiritual and unrealistic but if you wish to read it then do not expect anything from the book. Open the book with blank mind and let your mind carve a new interpretation from the book. It would definitely be an unknown experience.

THE HEART'S INVISIBLE FURIES BY JOHN BOYNE This book is a sort of a different read for me. Yes it was something unique from all the other books that I read. This is a book about Cyril, the protagonist who is a homosexual in Ireland. The story begins from 1945 where Mrs.Goggins, Cyril's mother is thrown out of the church and ends in 2015. This explains the length of the book indeed (713 pages). It describes more about Ireland and the lifestyle change of people there way from older days to today. I really was able to discover lots of new ideas from the book. It gave my mind a more broad view on different parts of the world and stuffs. The entire life of Cyril from scratch made me realize that the world is really huge and means more than what we knew. It was really a wonderful experience reading this book. Although it didn't go well for me at first, the subsequent parts where really interesting. The narration was good and kept going smoothly. There were lots of vari...

My January TBR pile

  Hey all! Its another year and I am super excited to read diverse genres and titles. Also, there are so many interesting books coming out this year and I have a list of releases that I can't wait for (which I will let you all know in the next week probably). Besides that, my tbr pile is ever growing and I have decided to jump into ten of them in the month of January. I am usually the one who picks up random books to read then and there but this year I've decided to set a dedicated to-read list each month. So let me give you a glance of my January reading plan. Hippie by Paulo Coelho   The first book that I've already started reading this month is Hippie by Paulo Coelho. I've heard mixed reviews abut this book considering the other works of the author and to be noted is that this book is my first experience with Coelho.  Hippie is an auto-bigraphical novel which talks about the journey that Paulo takes up from Brazil to Amsterdam which destined him to meet Karla. Togeth...
