Read while in the mood for something fun during a long weekend. This is indeed fun; an assemble-the-avengers action-filled adventure with a ton of deliberate representation. Special call out for the Tamilian with H-1B lottery problems from whom I learnt a new Tamil phrase: kan kettu piragu Surya namaskaaram. Favourite quote: “Home isn't where the heart is, it's wherever the wind feels right.”

Ramayana

By

Sanjay Patel

A fantastic introduction to a great Hindu epic. This is the book I would refer my curious friends to, when my Amar Chitra Katha collection is not readily available.

Be sure to check out the animated short Sanjay's Super Team too! https://vimeo.com/165239546

The Kaiju Preservation Society

By

John Scalzi

Described by the author as “a pop song”, this book is joyful. Dialog drives the plot forward almost exclusively.
