I read Shunya by Sri M. A spiritual master of modern times, he breaks down the hyprocrasis of the world, through his character Shunya.
If a person is taken in by the guru, he is sure to change for the better, how much ever bad he was in the past.
An interesting read for people looking at spiritual matters in a different light.

i read razors edge long back, do tell me ow u find it

I liked it...but I suppose it wont be universally accepted book... I can relate my life events to that of Larry ...but definitely I would not have taken a decision like what Larry did of not marrying Isabel and other extreme life choices he took...but things like being single and trying to be happy with available option/choices and philosophical interests are things that I can relate with Larry probably that may be the reason I liked Razor's edge...

The Name of the book is Hidden Figures: The True Story of Four Black Women and the Space Race
Finally, the extraordinary lives of four African American women who helped NASA put the first men in space is available for picture book readers. The true story of Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden will inspire girls and boys alike to love math, believe in themselves, and reach for the stars.i don't read this book untill now but too soon i will.

I joined a communal reading project at the start of the year. This is a community whose goal is to read Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace one chapter a day. The book has ~350 chapters depending on the translation you read. As much as I love Russian literature I never could make it past the first fifth of this book. The innumerable references to European history and liberal use of French text was enough to deter my younger self. This time its been a very different experience. Reading a chapter, then going online and reading other views, browsing the references and blogs shared is like being in a book club. There are a few native Russian readers who expand and illuminate the nuances missed by the translations. It's a wonderfully immersive experience. For anyone interested - A Year of War and Peace • r/ayearofwarandpeace

Also been reading other books on the side. Current read - The Art of Raising a Puppy by the Monks of New Skete

I avoid audio books because I simply cannot focus. I tune out the narrator and get caught up in my own thoughts. I finished reading War and Peace this time and I'm a fan. Will read again in about 20 years.

Currently reading Adiyogi: The source of yoga by Sadhguru.
