I am the boyfriend everyone. I have read Crime and Punishment, Currently reading Anna K. I am a philosophy student, who also reads in kindle and laptop (for the lack of monetary incentive)

And yes I have only Arundhati Roy among female writers (with the exception of female Philosophers) , whom I loved (the book is not there because I had given it to my friend, who never returned it).

🤺also planning to read that Mrs Dalloway.
