"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
Are your book choices influenced by friends and family? Do their recommendations carry weight for you? Or do you choose your books solely by what you want to read?
Most of my family and friends read different kind of books. They read the popular books and I prefer to read books out of anyone else's comfort zones. Their recommendations definitely don't influence me. Since I started book blogging, I can pick and choose from other book bloggers recommendations. That too I only pick books which interest me and not what the masses prefer to read.
Lately I have found out that fantasy novels don't interest me any more. I prefer concrete novels based on real places and real people with all the human follies and foibles. And give me thrillers/suspense/mystery novels any day!

I was just wondering the other day if I'm getting tired of fantasy--the last couple I've tried I haven't really gotten into. Maybe I should go for the mysteries.
