Hi,

Hope you are well. Today, I am recommending 2 books I read recently.

  1. Karunanidhi, A life - by AS Paneerselvam

    While Paneerselvem’s work reads almost like a hagiography, Karunanidhi’s fascinating history makes it a riveting read. This book gives neither a fair nor a complete history of Tamil politics, but is a great primer and must be read just as the thrilling story of a man’s life.

  2. The Song of Achilles, by Madeline Miller

    Miller’s retelling of the Iliad, from Patroclus’ perspective is a beautiful gay romance between Patroclus and Achilles. Definitely interesting for mythology buffs and a cute love story. It is easy to read and Miller is a wonderful writer, keeping her style simple yet seductive.

Looking forward to sending the next edition.
