Indian Readers discussion

Ok so here goes -
1. Read more Indian writers - in English or in translation
2. Read at least some Bengali books and make progress in my one Hindi book
3. Try hard to stop buying more books except maybe the JCBs
4. Read books I've already spent a small fortune on

Interesting. I'll try joining in for 1 if I have the book.
3 is already a failure :P

Good luck on your reading journey, Shuva.

Step 3 is indeed extremely hard and Step 4 is something every reader must follow & we fail badly at that :\

I am reading Valli in case you want to

Would have loved to. But I don't have the book in physical form. This year I'll try to read mostly from physical shelf.

Will look forward to your review of the same.

On another note, recently I have started seeking out JCBs.... earlier used to go for Sahitya Akademi award nominations.

I've been reading JCBs ever since they first started giving out the prize and I've found some perfect gems amongst them. I'm glad you're looking at them. Perhaps we could read one together sometime?
