This was a very busy week for me, hardly got time to read 100 or so pages. Still reading Grave Peril by Jim Butcher. Book 3 of The Dresden Files.

What about all of you, what have you been reading?

"The sweet salt of Tamil" by Tho Paramasivan translated from the original Tamil by V. Ramnarayan.

Tamil is the world's oldest surviving language and is spoken by about 90 million people. The author writes so well, you feel like you're chatting with an old friend. The OG version of the book in Tamil, titled Ariyappadatha Tamizhagam (the hidden Tamil country), is a good read too, but a friend gifted me the English version, so this week I'm enjoying the English version of a beloved book.

Tamil also has a very beautiful script. I like how it looks.

Surprised to see another Tamil book in the comments. If you're tamil, feel free to join [email protected] and help us get the community off the ground. It's a casual tamil chat community.
