Author: Chandril Bhattacharyya
Genre: Drama, Movie Script, Humour, Adult Comedy

Rating: 3

More iconoclastic than funny, but funny enough. Not quite as funny as Chandril Bhattacharyya (who I sincerely believe is a true Bengali intellectual, and one of the funniest, most creative, most inventive people of modern Bengal) can be.

Jar City

Author: Arnaldur Indriðason
Genre: Detective, Thriller
Source: Audiobook
Rating: NR - Dropped Midway

My first 'Dropped Midway' of the year. 
Attempted: Jan-Feb '15 (Gave up in March '15)
Summary: What do I say? Did not work for me. Too gloomy, soggy, wet and cold. Too alien. Icelandic Mystery is left for maybe another time, okay?

The Big Sleep

Author: Raymond Chandler

Genre: Detective, Thriller, Hardboiled, Classic

Source: Audiobook

Rated: 5/5

Read: Jan-March 2015

Chandler’s writing is like a slap of crisp, hot breeze on the face, late on a tiring summer’s day – clean, brutal, uncompromising, and unforgettable. Clean, more than anything else. Sparse. Hard. And enough.

You know that this is genre fiction. And while reading it (and I have read only one Chandler earlier), you know that this is literature that is defeating the genre it is part of. You know that this is a classic. You are mesmerized. You are pulled. You carry on. You are carried on.

Raymond Chandler is the writer I want to write like.
