We're Indians and we read uncontrollably. Not just the starred "serious" books that are reviewed in the papers, but comics, thrillers, self-help books, campus romances, travel, and whatever seems interesting. How come the papers don't cover what we really want? Bookasur is a book review and discussion podcast where P. S. Nissim, a writer and professional book critic, talks about the full broad variety of books we like, from a true desi perspective. From Stephen King to Sholay, from Tagore to Book Fairs, it's all there. Subscribe to make sure you don't miss a thing!

Ep 25: What do we read next?

What does one learn from years of reviewing books? And what does one make of a book that defies easy reviewing? Easy, this reviewer picks up the book and goes deeper into it, and then talks of what distinguishes a book reader from a reviewer - along with some rants about the never-ending pressure to keep up.

This is episode #25 of Bookasur, talking about frogs in wells, Strange Horizons (and walls), publicity, and some free advice on choosing your next book to read. This is also the finale of Season 1 of Bookasur, so we will take a break after this episode, and return renewed and fresh when life brings us back here.

Book featured:

The Wall, by Gautam Bhatia
