As I mentioned in my previous posts on Foundation series by Isaac Asimov, I am slowly making my way through the series again in chronological order. I reread the first three books in the publication order (the original trilogy) this month and upon rereading the series, I realized that it is still my favorite science... Continue Reading →
I finished the second book (in chronological order) in the Foundation series this week. It picks up exactly from the point where the previous book (Prelude to Foundation) ended. I recommend reading the original trilogy before reading these two prequel novels as they will seem boring if you do not know anything about the Foundations... Continue Reading →

I had read the original trilogy and had been planning to read the prequels and sequels that were written later... Continue Reading →

I found an English translation for this book and after having it on my TBR for years together, I finally read it. If you are not sure who... Continue Reading →

Scifi month is back and I am participating this year as well. You can sign up if you are interested in reading and discussing science fiction with fellow fans here. I had kept aside some books on my TBR so that I could read them in November. This time I planned my TBR well in... Continue Reading →
After binge-reading Deathnote, I was on the lookout for some series which was equally dark and suspenseful. I tried several manga series but didn't feel like continuing any of those. I visited Kinokuniya bookstore and asked the staff to recommend me some series which was like Deathnote and they recommended Erased to me. They were... Continue Reading →
