#Kerala
blurb
Dilara
post image

What a wonderful novella this is! Full of descriptions of #Kerala's natural world. It is somewhat edifying, possibly even condescending (it was written in 1951 and things have moved on since then), but counterbalanced by humour and the type of characters we love to hate.
Originally translated from Malayalam for UNESCO's collection of representative literary works

About halfway-through the French translation of The Legends of Khasak, based primarily on the Malayalam original, occasionally taking into account the English rewriting the author did in 1994. This is my first Malayalam novel 🌞

1. Fall. Crisp air, beautiful leaves, apples, pumpkins 🍁🍂🍎

2. Long walks & drives, watching football 🚗🏈

3. So many! Main branch of NYPL, for one

4. A break in the hot, humid/rainy weather

Not book rated. However this trip to Wayanad, Kerala was refreshing.

Oblomov26 Sixth extinction is a great but scary book 8y
My_novel_obsession The Sixth Extinction was fascinating and a little scary 😳 8y
CaitlinByTheBook Yep, I echo what others have said, The Sixth Extinction is great and worrisome. 8y
jpmcwisemorgan Sixth Extinction is interesting and educational. It wasn't as scary for me because environmental issues/policy are my degree areas so it wasn't as much of a surprise for me. I read it for my sustainability book club last year and we had a good discussion. 8y

Sunset at Cherai beach. I read a bit of my book just so I have a picture to post. Small unnecessary integrities of a reader!

Anne Enright is great. I loved the first few essays of early motherhood. I can see myself leafing through this book again should I have another child because topical reading.
