Books I Read in June 2025— Arundhati Roy, BR Ambedkar and More

 Today is the last day of June, and I feel compelled to jot down the books I read this month to reflect on my experience and learnings. These are the books: ~The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen ~My Seditious Heart by Arundhati Roy ~Annihilation of Caste by Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar ~History of Modern Manipur by Lal Dena Just four. It's okay, really. There is no compulsion to read 6,7 books every month. Reading fewer books doesn't mean I'm learning less. In fact, I learned more deeply. The books this month have been impactful in different ways. Clearly, there is a shift in my choices. I'm leaning more into nonfiction now. I guess I've always been angry and frustrated deep inside. About the climate crisis, social injustice, war, etc. Living in the comforting world of fiction was an escape from all these thoughts. As I read more nonfiction, I get angrier, but I know I should keep myself informed of reality. Then perhaps I'd be able to do something about it. I'm not ...

War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy, one of the great literary giants of the 19th century, penned a masterpiece in War and Peace. This is one book, I felt, that had a profound impact on me. I think I grew up a bit after reading this. No other book had such an impact on me before. Of course, now I have read more books and have found other impactful books and authors that move me. But here, let's talk about War and Peace. The novel takes us on a journey that spans many themes, including love, war, human experience, and religion. It is a dense, lengthy, and complex work and may require some effort to understand and patience and commitment to finish, but its beauty and universal themes make it worth the effort. This article examines what War and Peace can teach us about life, love, and humanity. Tolstoy's Philosophy of Life Tolstoy's beliefs and values inspire many of the novel's themes. His philosophy of life emphasizes the value of human existence, the importance of living life with purpose, and...

June 2026—Margaret Atwood, Matt Haig and More

"By the time they have read enough books to actually reach a state of knowledge where they can do anything with it, they are dead." Quote from "The Humans" by Matt Haig. I guess, no time to lose. Keep reading. I may be able to make it. Also, no need to keep reading books if I don't enjoy them. This month, I didn't finish most of the books I started. 1. Speaking with Nature by Ramachandra Guha I wish more people cared about the environment, climate change, wildlife conservation, and animal rights, along with human rights. Lately, I have started picking up books on such topics. Speaking with Nature is about the origins of Indian environmentalism.   "The high living standards of one part of the world were in part enabled by its control of other parts of the world. Imperialism, the domination of one country or people over another, was therefore not just immoral, but also, in an environmental and ecological sense, unsustainable." Reading this was going ...
