So over the last one month I managed to read two books that probably would be listed under the humor section.
Exhibit 1 was Cyrus Brocha's Karl Aaj Aur Kal.. which came across more like a loving tribute to Kunal Vijaykar. Although it did start off well.. ahem..with some insights into Parsi culture (Please to note Mr.Mistry).. it turned into a drag and could have been 100 pages smaller.
Exhibit 2 was Sidin Vadukut's The incredible adventures of Robin 'Einstein' Verghese. Now this one, I had huge expections. I have been reading Sidin's blog since a long time and really liked his writing. However after I read the book, I realized why blogs are so much better.. There is just one post at a time... You read it.. enjoy it and move on. But with a book you have to read through hundreds of pages of something that never really leads to anything particular.
So I guess, the sales of these two books would primarily depend on the popularity of the writers rather than the actual content of the book.. pretty much like our so called block buster movies
