 Expériences d'un lecteur électronique

Wondering just about what the title means?? It simply the experiences  of an e-reader(it's french.......just so that it appears interesting.)
    Sitting in the confines of my house I had no possible way of borrowing or buying a new book when I turned to e-reading and to say the truth it didn't quite offer me the connection that I feel with the characters of the story when I have the physical copy in my hand.But then it has been a great help to me economically( I finished 6 books which would have cost me over ₹2000.) 
         I loved reading Raavan :The Enemy of Aryavarta by Amish. It's the third book in the Ramachandra series and it presents Raavan from a very different perspective. He is portrayed as a hero in his own right. The story covers his birth, the hardships that made him, his never ending love for his brother Kumbhakarna and the reason as to why he turns out be the villain of the story. 
          I also happened to accomplish my long standing goal of reading all Hercule Poirot books. For the uninitiated Hercule Poirot is a fictional detective created by Agatha Christie. The latest addition to my e library being Five Little Pigs. A fascinating story of  murder, deduction and mind blowing detective work leaves the reader spell bounded by the end. 
         Both the books are worth the time (and money), with Raavan breathing down your neck and Poirot's quick deductive reasonings are sure to make your time fly by.
      Happy reading readers.

MOTHER THERESA

MOTHER THERESA GEORGE JOSEPH SHARON BOOKS Dear friends I am Vaishnavi of class IX.   During the lock down period I happened to be with my grandparents.   Believe me, I have a great time here.   We do have a good collection of books here. Searching for a book that can interest me, this book on one of the greatest souls ever to live on Earth reached my hands. The language of the book is as simple as the life lead by the Great Soul.   It really touched me.   I have heard of the saying, “charity begins from home”. After reading this book I became very sure of the saying.   Charity actually begins from home; from oneself.   Each one of us has to hear that “inner call” and respond to it. I am looking forward to sharing another experience with another book in the days to come. Till then Bye.  Take care. Stay Home, Stay Safe.

Books are the greatest blessing

By -
It is a great pleasure to be a part of a forum that discusses books. Books have always been my best friends. I turn to them in joy and sorrow and feel strongly that life without books would be impossible. I appreciate the initiative taken by Mrs. Anitha, our librarian and Mr. Rajendran, our Principal. As Sir rightly pointed out in his message, books are the greatest blessing, especially in these trying times. I am happy to see that students have turned to reading. I,too, am making use of the lockdown to widen my reading experience. Apart from some bestsellers, I read two interesting books recently. 'Home" by Manju Kapur, published by Penguin, is an interesting story of the conflicts that arise in a joint family due to the changes in society. Manju Kapur had impressed me with her deep insight into the workings of the human mind in the book, 'Difficult Daughters'. This book follows the changes in a family through three generations. The sari-selling family must cope wi...
