Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and all the nooks.

Purchased two books some days ago :

1. Cat People by Devapriya Roy. Below is the "About" :
In Karachi, a writer house-sits for her father and his cat, while keeping track of his - the cat’s - list of obsessions: ironed white sheets, kheer, KFC fries, warm custard, finely chopped sausages, and the flaky tops of chicken patties. In San Francisco, a couple adopt a cat, without anticipating what it will do to their relationship. In Noida, a cat and two dogs line up peacefully every morning for their daily dose of vitamin syrup. In Bombay, a lyricist and screenwriter roots through the litter tray first thing in the morning, to investigate if his cat’s UTI is better. In wintry London, a young millennial wonders if she is actually a cat.

Capturing the many moods of felines and their humans, in many forms and voices, Cat People, is a timely celebration of the most memed creature today: the cat. This collection of short stories, personal essays, lists, original art and photographs is are a treat, not just for cat lovers everywhere, but for all who love a story well-told – and, on occasion, a theory well-spun.

2. Mercury by Ben Bova. It is about a some people on a base on planet Mercury and the science of that planet. This I purchased second-hand for 100 rupees.

Which regions does it cover? and does it evaluate Pakistan?


Blink, by Malcolm Gladwell.
How Not to Die, by Michael Greger MD. More for reference rather then a through read.
