Magical Realism

Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

My impressions of the book varied over the course of reading it. Of the four parts, I found the first part the least engaging and the central character rather bland. Especially the beginning, where too many characters were introduced, building of the backdrop simultaneously and establishing relationships between the characters, made it a little exhausting and confusing to read.

Yoga: A Love Story by Douglas Davis

'Yoga A Love Story' by Douglas Davis is a good reminder that a great book can live from its character cast as well. It doesn’t need to have a compelling plot with twists and turns or action scenes that leave you gasping.

Life of Pi by Yann Martel

Life of Pi serves a great lesson – to have faith in the toughest of times. You may not be a religious person, but I recommend Yann Martel’s Life of Pi, he does an exceptional job of carrying the theme through to the reader.

Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie

Midnight's Children is a brilliant and complex novel. Told by an unreliable, at times annoying, but endlessly fascinating narrator Saleem Sinai, it is a story in which reality meets myth, in which dreams turn into facts, in which countries live tormented and tragic lives, resembling closely those of human beings that inhabit them.
