Katha Prize stories

Just finished this book series Volume I. Katha series is basically the translated versions of short stories originally written in various Indian languages. There are some lovely stories here such as "Crows, Crows and Crows" by Bhupendranarayan Bhattacharyya, "Kashi" by Ashok Srinivasan, "Hands" by Rekha and "Reflowering" by Sundara Ramaswamy. A delightful collection.

The Firm

Just finished reading an exciting, throbbing, pulse pounding book "The Firm" by John Grisham. This is one of Grisham's earlier works hence very interesting, His later works are disappointing. This has been later made into a movie, but the movie is not as good as the book. Tom Cruise is wooden in the film and it moves very slowly and ponderously. Goodreads review 5/5
