    Take your time, if you want to read a long book and it takes a long time its ok you dont have to finish it in a month. The most important thing is to read

      I agree. I made a commitment to read 20 pages of a book/day. Some days I read more, but I always read 20 pages and that seems to be a nice spot for me.

      I agree. Many readers get so involved in reading this book, but try NOT to try to read nonstop. Take a day off, now and then, to fully digest each chapter. Each chapter is so rich that you don’t want to miss anything.

    People are hating even when talking about reading and a bookclub. They cant let go of their hatred. Thanks Oprah for all you do to encourage us to read books .

    A truly amazing novel! A multi generational journey through the lives of a cast of Malayalam and British characters in India. The prose is translucent and evocative, the lives, loves, pain, adventures told with delicacy and compassion. It's not really magical realism, but there are touches of magic, like Baby Mol who can tell the future, that heighten the deliciousness of this book. Set in Kerala

    This might just be my summer reading. How, or where could one submit books for your folks to read? I was a single mother looking for a way to make income to not struggle when books started coming to my dreams. I did not know how to write ,coupled with the financial inability to publish. I self published through Amazon and really would like for professionals to provide me with constructive criticism, and directives for future. I would like to get the rest of these books out of my head. Thank you in advance for even reading this.
