Dangerous Games – Danielle Steel Book Review

Why is it that every Danielle Steel book has a woman in her 40’s doing some exciting stuff instead of being a housewive? 🙂 In all seriousness, there’s a formula here and one that pays well. But I have to say compared to her previous novels, I feel that the reading grade for her proseContinue reading “Dangerous Games – Danielle Steel Book Review”

The Devil’s Triangle – Catherine Coulter

This book made little to no sense. Jumpig from one country to another, scrambled timelines and with a cast ranging from DaVinci and his lover to about 15 interchangeable personalities with generic names like Mick and Ajax, the book left little enthusiasm and kept me hoping for an early finish. And when the dialogue wasContinue reading “The Devil’s Triangle – Catherine Coulter”

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running – Haruki Murakami Book Review

Somerset Maugham once wrote that in each shave lies a philosophy. I couldn’t agree more. No matter how mundane some action might appear, keep at it long enough and it becomes a contemplative, even meditative act. In this pretty short (126 pages) memoir, Haruki Murakami explores the relation between running and writing and how muchContinue reading “What I Talk About When I Talk About Running – Haruki Murakami Book Review”
