The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky
The book was handed to me by my Sociology professor when I was in college. She’s a bookworm and a wide-reader as well. Summer days are coming and I’m having bed sore from sleeping the entire month. I chanced to saw the book down my shelf and started reading it. Social and Religious enigma protrude but both are laiden when disaster among the Karamazov House started to rose. The three Karamazov...

“ In the game of Thrones, You win or You die. There is no middle ground.” - Queen Cersei Lannister,
One boring morning, my officemate brought forth a thick book. Curiosity took on me thus he was boasting about the book. If I wanted a literary piece like that of J.R.R Tolkien, probably that book was in the toplist, he says. I ignored it. Then he brought a copy of the HBO Series Game of...
