So, what happened to my reading habit ?
Bad news first : I am yet to finish the book ” God of Small Things”.Now the good news : I am still reading it, and I am reading few other books too.
Yes, I am still reading God of Small Things. I loved it, and was inspired enough to rename my blog to, Blog of Small Things. Offline Blog was a temporary name, and I was looking for a new name all this time. So, here we are , with the new name, “Blog of Small Things” How is that ?
I visited my village library, paid a fine for not returning a book for 1 year. Librarian is a great friend of mine, so I got the fine amount reduced to Rs.100. And yea, I bought 3 more books from Cochin last week.
I am fighting my “readers block” ( Thanks Nikhil for that term ). It is tough, real tough. I tried lot of things, and got a lot of suggestions.
I am going back to Malayalam books now, because that is where I started, and that is where I should start correcting my reading disorders. Reading Malayalam books may help me make reading much faster, hopefully …..

I never liked God of Small Things
The writing style was too similar to books like “oru deshathinde katha” which is much better… it was a big let down for me!
Which mal book are reading?
Hehehe!!
God of small things, never read it!
And “readers’ block” is my term? Oh, I didnt know that…!!
Heheee Still reading “Gd of Sml Thngs”?
Oh my GOD!
a relief after continuous posts on word press..
i am reading a book from one and half months ..
Am i suffering from readers block ??
my reading habit has also gone down the drain. Last book i read was “We are like that only – Rama Bijapurkar”. And that was a few months ago.
These days all iam reading is BusinessToday, BusinessIndia, BusinessWorld. I need them for my investing tips
@ vishesh
Thank you
@ Rekha
Hmmm .. you better join Ediyad Library .. it’s a good one
@ | Balu |
I am in love with that writing style … it is very new to me …
Malayalam Books : Lajja ( Taslima Nasrin ) Tathwamasi ( Sukumar Azhikode ) Sidhartha ( Hermen Hesse )
@ Nikhil
I know you are not the”creator” of that term, but you are the one who introduced it to me .. you want me to take that thanks back ?
@ Rahul
Yep !! you don’t know how crazy I “was” about books …
@ arvind
Depends .. how many books you used to read, or how fast ?
@ Philip
Hmmm the change when you get an MBA
I have started reading because of your post.
@ s4n705h
Vooow !! which book are you reading buddy ?
Ah, the book is dry and boring according to me!!
Took me AGES to finish..
*God of small things, that is!
@ Prarthana
It’s taking me “ages” too
Try to spend less time on the net. Or if you are too obsessed with the computer, then read online. You can download pdfs *illegal ofcourse.
The ‘read more’ cloud is awesome. Now that is whats called a cloud !
Any book that takes you more than 15 days to complete is worthless
i took a month to finish Inheritance of Loss…by th time i was done, i realised what th title meant!!! major waste of time!
(all who who liked th book, pardon me; it did not deserve the award!)
read N.Mohanan’s books…i love ‘em
btw, hope yu don again change the blog name wen yu finish th book
“Try to spend less time on the net.” ..yeah i agreee with Xylene…spending too much time on net kills ur ability to read printed ones!!
@ xylene
I tried reading online … dint workout … I mean, pdf file and all that stuff .. nowadays, I will keep my laptop near me, connected to internet, and read books sitting infront of it
@ Scorpria
hi hi .. but .. it takes more than 15 days for me to finish each and every book … that I am reading these days .. I think the mistake is on my side .. hmm never heard of n mohanan … more info please ?
and lol won’t change the name again
@ Rekha
that’s what happened to me !!! now, I am fighting…

I absolutely loved The God of Small Things – it’s one of the few books I’ve read twice and been as deeply moved each time. I always name it as one of my favourite books. Good luck with it!
@ Alda
