I really enjoyed reading Alan Campbell’s Scar Night. Reading about a 3000 year-old crazy, vampiric angel/demi-god that also happens to have amnesia is always fun.

Landmark
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008
Nikhil had written about Landmark launching its own online store some time back; so I was very eager to check it out. The site seems nice, but the pricing’s off. They always list a higher price than Sify for the same book, and Sify actually sells books via Landmark. Sify doesn’t charge for shipping, but [...]

Chick lit
Monday, August 25th, 2008
Was roaming around Noida’s Sector 18 Friday night. A Network 18 reporter came up to me holding a book (plus a mic), and very cheerfully asked me whether I read ‘chick lit’. I immediately said ‘No’, of course. Without thinking. She gave me a really disappointed look and walked away looking for other interview candidates. [...]
