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

    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'.

I cannot remember my mother by Rabindranath Tagore

 The poem has been titled " I cannot remember my mother". It attracted me for some reason, for I thought that surely, a poem couldn't be completely empty. There had to be some form of nostalgia, or memory in a poem about no remembrance.  I realized after reading it, that I was right. In fact, the poem's title can be considered an oxymoron. However, the extent to which this poem is nostalgic, the amount of tiny details in this poem, wow. But I don't suppose Tagore was a Literature Nobel Laureate for nothing. This poem has sensitized its audience to the poet's colossal loss, though the poet ,it seems,has made no effort to do so. There is nothing superfluous about his writing, and the poem seems like a true expression of his love for his mother. It talks about how his mother managed to leave her presence on everything before she passed away, and how those little memories of his,form an incomplete memory of his mother.

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.
