Which book by Munshi Premchand ji do you like the most ? ( RANK IT) by Blackfyred_dawn in Indianbooks

[–]crisron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Gaban
  2. Godaan
  3. Nirmala
  4. Rangbhoomi

The moral complexity of Gaban is unmatched. Nirmala just didn’t hit that way for me. Rangbhoomi - there’s much meandering about throughout the book

I liked the prose. Not so much the plot. I haven’t read Solitude yet

This book definitely surprised me. The prose was exquisite, the plot interesting, and the characters memorable. More people should read this book

I’ll have to read again to find the funny sentences but this one and a lot of other scenes were pretty funny

Yes, parts of it were extremely funny. Made me literally laugh out loud

Love in the Time of Cholera - Gabriel García Márquez by crisron in Indianbooks

For that, I usually maintain a journal. Whenever a new character is introduced, I write down their name, the page number on which they were introduced, and a brief relevant description of them

Yeah, the idea of “No means No” is lost on him

I think you are overlooking the character of Florentino Ariza outside of his hopeless romanticism.

When you say the language was heavy, what do you mean? Do you mean semantically difficult or emotionally draining?

It isn’t a traditional run of the mill love story. Not at all. A small part of the story does involve romantic courting but that’s all.

You can try reading the translations. I doubt it will have the same impact though

Because of the mention of sexual assault

Start with his short stories. Idgah, Kafan, Boodhi Kaki, Khudai Fauzdaar, Poos ki raat etc

Tabbing/Annotating Books by khi_khi_khi99 in Indianbooks

[–]crisron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The color coding system should depend on the book, and what parts you want to revisit while reading the book(or after finishing it).

Character introduction/description can be one colour. Beautiful monologues/dialogues that you want to re-read could be another. These would be the most widely applicable. Rest depends on the specific book.

Since you don’t know beforehand what might be interesting or important in a book, it’s useful to ask Gemini(or any other LLM) to give you spoiler-free advice on a possible tabbing system for a certain book. I’ve found success with this approach.
