A thrilling prose that takes forms in graphic, black n' white depictions. This book had me hooked from the start and defeated my smug attitude towards work of graphic literature.

The Sonnets
William Shakespeare
Don't let the sonnets intimidate you. Sit with them and their music will come alive in your consciousness. Thyself thy foe, so read it.
Reading Lolita in Tehran
Azar Nafisi
This book is both a memoir on womanhood, a work of literary criticism, and political commentary. The pacing and structure of this memoir carries the pleasure of a thriller.
Heat and Dust
Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
This novel is a riot. It is a story within a story. A detective story uncovering the past of a family in post colonial India looking at the final years of Raj.

Gillian Flynn
The movie is fun but the novel is better, it has aspects that didn't make it to the movie adaptation.
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
