Why this title, well I am reading short stories by Prem Chand and plan to re start Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler.
The stories by Prem Chand are sweet and short and are intriguing me because of the language, hindi is my mother tongue but the usage seems very alien (mind you prem Chand is supposed to be the simplest and most colloquial of all hindi writers). Also the setting is very charming early 1900s India. Will write more about it once I am finished with it. The next book on my list Darkness at Noon, gifted by my brother, his favorite and close to our hearts because of my dad's socialist leanings. Have never got around to reading it completely. Though Koestler was not russian he does write about the struggle of a man with the interpretation and execution of socialism in Russia. This time I shall complete it. Meanwhile it is avery very busy week at work and i still have to post the review of the book i read last week. So what are you reading??
