Review: The Midnight Library

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If I were to name this book. I would call it 'Nora & and madness of multiverse' (yeah, I am marvel enthusiast). What a wonderful ride this book takes us on. Life, disappointments, despair, perception, perseverance, hope and tears are a few words you will encounter in the book. Some of the words will come with a meaning and mild taste while others will hit you hard on the thinking curve. The beauty of this book is the fact that it teaches you a very simple yet powerful lesson of life without letting you know. The story is basically revolving around Nora. Nora is - maybe ME or maybe YOU or maybe anyone/everyone. She represents the challenges we face everyday and how easily we give up on life.

I am still not sure why this book is categorized in Sci-fi genre? My be it can serve more meaning in the life lessons or self help shelves.

I already started my spiritual journey a while ago. If I had not started then probably this book would be the turning point for me to take that decision. I am not trying to say here in any way that this book falls under any spiritual spectrum however it does have a philosophical flavor that keeps you pondering on the smaller yet important aspects of life.

It is a must read for everyone. This is my first Matt Haig book. I am glad he has written more books.

And yes, the last few chapters. They are bomb. They helped me melt at the right time of my mental state and relieve a lot from within. Thank You Matt specially for that.

Don't wait, just get the book and start reading.

Review: Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies

Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Exhaustive Read. Huge and intense amount of information starting from the evolution to farming to development of the nations to race creation to staple food trajectory to body and facial features reasoning.

At some point I wasn’t convinced about several research observations. Being an Indian, we are sure about having a deep rooted history of our evolution. However, the author has only spread light on the Europeanised way of development and superiority.

The book has some wonderful detailed information on the Radiocarbon Dating. As an Indian reader I feel that this book
