This was the year I got my attention under enough control to be able to read voraciously again like I used to in my childhood :) * I'll always bring up The Three-body problem because I re-read it every year * Piranesi because of it's fantastical story-telling * The Covenant of Water - because it's a fantastic medical drama and a sweeping story spanning generations * Victory City - Salamn Rushdie's latest novel which is surprisingly readable * The Enchanted Forest/Kaikeyi/Palace of Illusions - because they cover the major Indian epics from the lens of the women characters (think Circe with an Indian background) * Trust - The same story told from different viewpoints with a setting in the early NY financial world, which makes it extra interesting I notice that I do tend to favour books with an Indian background because of my nostalgia for it as I live in a foreign land. Maybe I'll branch out more next year!
