Books to Snooze

My goodreads states that I have read 339 books which must be true, because I have spent 100s of hours watching stories unfold in my head. I have been on murders, travels, Delhi to Dallas, hills, seas, voyages, earthquakes and miracles. So now that I am so qualified of reading books then I must talk about the most dragged books ever, for me personally of course to each to his own, and the best part is they were the bestsellers and most recommended. You probably will find that there are genres or kinda of books that I don’t like. So here is my list amongst 339 

Eat Pray Love

This self search travelogue is long and sad. How she is miserable in search of peace, happiness and love and she finds it through food, religion and romance. As you can figure out personally journeys of authors or otherwise are not my favorite genre. 

Mrs Dollaway

OHT, completely over my head. And this probably is one of the most favorite classics, with enough and more books even on the author Virginia Woolf. I couldn’t understand her kind of crazy, it was kind of depressing. Again topped off by top ratings and raving reviews. 

Red earth and pouring rain

Vikram Chandra is currently quite popular with netflix series of his other book ‘Sacred Games’. Well he has stories and some art too, but he could get dragging like in this book 

Two lives

The German world war 2 survivor and piecing stories from her conversations and Keepsakes. The concept is interesting and coming from Vikram Seth (I and fan of his Suitable Boy), but this one was a dampener. 

Miguel Street

Another Indian stalwart VS Naipaul. As you can see I am a big fan of Indian fiction but this man writes as an outsider. Quite interesting characters but a little unrealistic stories. And I just don’t like his books. They are well written but stories don’t stay with you. 

Shantaram 

I couldnt even finish it, it was so boring. I have had multiple debates with the fans of this book. I could read only half and then decided to give up. Honestly even amongst the dragged books this is the worst as I could finish the other books still. 

So above are the books for a snooze fest but eventually up to you. Even their covers are not great.
