2011-XX - The Circle of Reason, by Amitav Ghosh
XX - The Circle of Reason, by Amitav Ghosh, 423 pages, Hamish Hamilton, 1986
WHY I PICKED IT: Because I loved Ghosh's the Glass Palace and was recommended both by my Aunty Fa.
ELAPSED TIME: 5 days.
RATING:Wow, this book sucked.
So I only got 13 pages into this book... but it took me 4 days to get past page 8 and after another 5 pages I just couldn't stick with it. The back didn't sell me on the book, and the first 13 pages confirmed what the back of the book said: That this story was (supposed to be) a tragi-comic web of fantasy and fable... sorry, not spending my time on this. At least not now.
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!
