Review: Massage No Boom Boom

Massage No Boom Boom by Anand Prabhu
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Let's first talk about the book, It's funny, open, daring and, in detailing his experiences with massages all around the world, the author has decided to share a large portion of his life. Now although the author talks about more freedom and that he wants to share his experience and that we shouldn't be so ashamed of our sexuality or our need for a human touch. But I believe that he has written with a pen name as I wasn't able to find any other books by him on Goodreads or unable to find his photo even on the HarperCollins website.

Your message is very important, so wouldn't you want to share the message yourself with the world. Share your name O! messiah O! opener of eyes. Share your photo let us feast our eyes on your visage. You would be glad to know that since your book was published in 2012 till now you can get a decent massage but no boom boom in many places in India now. Well, India is India the more things move forwards the more they go back. So that's the same with the scene too.

The book was funny and it was fun to read about the varying experiences of Mr. Prabhu. I had come across this book in a cafe and it caught my eye due to its funny title and then I had to order it and thankfully it didn't disappoint. So yeah go ahead even if you don't like massages there's no harm in reading about someone else's experiences.

People who don't read generally ask me my reasons for reading. Simply put I just love reading and so to that end I have made it my motto to just Keep on Reading. I love to read everything except for Self Help books but even those once in a while. I read almost all the genre but YA, Fantasy, Biographies are the most. My favorite series is, of course, Harry Potter but then there are many more books that I just adore. I have bookcases filled with books which are waiting to be read so can't stay and spend more time in this review, so remember I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

Review: Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary

Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary by Brandon Mull
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This time the book starts with many shocking events and move fast but still the Dragon Sanctuary doesn't even get a mention till halfway through the way in the story. But then again the books are like this and the fantastical has always been fantastic. This hasn't been an exception, this was again fun with lot of different wonderful moments that bring the story forward. There was another traitor this time around which was just heartbreaking. Now's the time to jump to the fifth and last book but not before I try to finish the books already in the Currently reading list of Goodreads.

Review: The Last Wish

The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So I already have all three games but had just started playing the first game and it has aged a bit and the reason I got them now is that I have the 3rd one on my PS4 but I just built my gaming rig after a long gap so finally had to get the classics and would play in the order to the latest game but that's going to take time. So when the Netflix series came I took some time off and finished the series in quick 2-3 sessions. And now I have Witcher craving so here comes the original book series to help in that regards. Having seen the series its fun to see where the inspiration was taken for different episodes and bits and also there are differences in the book and the series but then they two different mediums. So I understand and also the books were written slightly back so there's that. Having finished this I am onto the second short story collection.

Review: The Anarchy: The East India Company, Corporate Violence, and the Pillage of an Empire

The Anarchy: The East India Company, Corporate Violence, and the Pillage of an Empire by William Dalrymple
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yeah, no convincing needed for me to believe that British were worst news for India and this book from one of the most favorite historians William Dalrymple is another masterstroke from the master historian. This book is his probably third book about Mughals and British (The White Mughals and The Last Mughal) being other two but this one is mostly focused more on East India Company and how that corporation created an advanced army and was able to defeat all the other empires and chaos and anarchy created by the events set in motion by them. The narration was so well and the book so well that as soon as I was about 3 hours in I also ordered the Hardcover version of the book partly because I wanted to read it in detail later but also to be able to see all the wonderful paintings and illustrations given throughout of the book. So here goes my first review of the year 2020. I am glad that I could start the year with a 5-star book and I hope that the rest of the year follows the suit.

Review: The Choice

The Choice by Nicholas Sparks
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

And here goes another one down. One more in a similar tragedy filled life in a small town in US of A as told by our lovely Mr. Sparks. This was nice and tugged in all the places but when you are tugged in all the books then it kinda all comes together to not tug as much. But I liked it and like I said I may revisit these books in future where I would only read them one at a time and not in any order.

Review: Kafka on the Shore

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my very first Murakami read and every bit weird as I expected it to be. This one was just such a wonderful experience and to boot the fact that I was listening to the audiobook with the wonderful voice acting which elevated the experience. So one extra star for the audiobook. This deals with so many things and in the end, it's all about just a character development of the main character. I will certainly try to read it again sometimes in the future but then I would surely miss the wonderful voices which performed with this full production of the book. I loved it now if only someday I can tackle the 46 hours of behemoth which is IQ84 audible production. Maybe in the year 2020 maybe that will be the year when I read the remaining Murakami books I have.
