📖Man's search for meaning by Viktor Frankl.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Well, what can be worse than spending your time in a concentration camp!
And what would be more commendable than to carry a hope in this situation!

I highly recommend this book.

A short insight into the book! 👇
(Wikipedia)

Man's Search for Meaning is a 1946 book by Viktor Frankl chronicling his experiences as a prisoner in N**i concentration camps during World War II, and describing his psychotherapeutic method, which involved identifying a purpose in life to feel positive about, and then immersively imagining that outcome.
According to Frankl, the way a prisoner imagined the future affected his longevity. The book intends to answer the question "How was everyday life in a concentration camp reflected in the mind of the average prisoner?"
Part One constitutes Frankl's analysis of his experiences in the concentration camps, while Part Two introduces his ideas of meaning and his theory called logotherapy.

📖"A case of exploding mangoes" by Muhammad Hanif.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I thouroughly enjoyed this book!!!
The book revolves around the conspiracies and circumstances surrounding the death of Pakistani dictorial president General Zia, which took place in a plane crash in 1988, in a very subtle satirical way!
Now as a reader, you have to decide whether its pure fiction or a reality based novel.

I always like Muhammad Hanif's writting style!
Have you read any of his works yet?
Or any of his books that is still on your TBR list?

And I strongly agree to it!
Would love to hear about your experiences and thoughts!

📕 A gentleMan of Moscow by
Amor Towles

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Its a slow read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The book has its own class.

Set in the era around of early 1900s, the novel is about a Russian aristocrat, sentenced by the Soviets to permanent house arrest in a luxury hotel in Moscow.
Writer combines his knowledge of Russian history and life in such luxury hotels into a beautiful story which you ll certainly enjoy if
you are interested in the history of the Soviet Union and the mannerism and sophistication of the European aristocracy.
