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 6: Deep in the forest... of Mathematics

Why don’t we read more comics? Especially those that are labours of love, that hold your hand and take you to places you’ve been too intimidated to enter. Amruta Patil (@hathoric) and Devdutt Pattanaik (@devduttmyth) riff off Indian Spiritual texts to create a fresh take. And Apostolos Doxiadis (@apdox) and Christos Papadimitriou give us a layered, unconventional biography of modern mathematics through the eyes of Bertrand Russell.

This is episode #6 of Bookasur, talking about two amazing comics that make you go, “why didn’t I read these before?”

Books featured:

Aranyaka, by Amruta Patil and Devdutt Pattanaik, published by Tranquebar.

Logicomix, by Apostolos Doxiadis and Christos Papadimitriou, published by Bloomsbury.
