Big Book Challenge 2016

Hey everyone! I'm participating in BookbyBook's Big Book Challenge again this year! I participated last year, and I read 8 big books last year! I don't expect to read that many this year, but I do want to read at least 2. The reason I read so many last year was because I was reading Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series- and all of them classified as Big Books.
 I'll kick off the challenge this year, by reading Dan Brown's Inferno. The copy I have is around 600 pages, but the regular version is 461 pages- so it does classify as a Big Book.
 Look out for reviews on the Big Books I read- but don't expect them next week. I'm quite sure it'll take me a while to read Inferno.
 This post was just to inform you of my participation in the challenge. You can click the annotation "Bookbybook's" you see above to participate in the challenge as well. You only need to read one book of 400 + pages from May 27 to September 5th. That's more than 2 moths!!
 Hopefully you all participate! Happy Reading and Happy Summer

  1. Welcome to the Big Book Summer Challenge! I'm so glad you decided to join in the fun again this year :)

    I really enjoyed The DaVinci Code and would love to read Inferno - in fact, I think it might be on one of our bookshelves! Sounds like a great choice.

    Enjoy your Big Books and remember to stop back by the Challenge page to link to your reviews :)

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place. 

Coromandel Fishers by Sarojini Naidu

Hello! For this post I will be exploring another poem written by Sarojini Naidu, called "Coromandel Fishers". This poem can be taken as an allegory, for although it speaks to fishermen, it's metaphoric value speaks to the nation, and can be considered a wakening call for the people of our country. When I wrote about "In the Bazaars of Hyderabad", I mentioned that Sarojini Naidu was one of our freedom fighters, and believed greatly in the Swadeshi movement. Naidu reflects her passion for India in this poem.
