Random Quirks from a Book Nerd.
I finally finished reading the biography of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. It took forever to read it. But now I’m back to fiction; my forte. Yesterday, I was going through all these books in my bookshelf. It’s always tough to decide on what...

Happy Birthday John Green!
I remember the time when I had no idea who this author was. I remember that after reading one novel by him, I’d ended up reading all the rest in a short time. I remember the time when I didn’t know how to cry...

What is it about a book that is so appealing that one cannot stop reading? Reading is something that has become so natural for me. It’s like breathing. Not a day goes without reading a book. Even if it’s just one chapter for a...
