John Steinbeck

Design by Kathryn Macnaughton

I know John Steinbeck as the one who wrote 'Of Mice and Men' and now I know him more. As the one who also wrote 'East of Eden' and 'The Grapes of Wrath'.

Partial credit of the rediscovery go to Dave Eggers (on quoting Steinbeck) and remaining credits to Kathryn Macnaughton (for that amazing cover illustration). More than thoroughly enjoyed East of Eden and just started on Grapes of Wrath.

Always a warm pleasure to find good reads, and a well designed cover doesn't hurt either.

Marina Bay Sands

A night's stay at Marina Bay Sands made me realise I have been missing out quite a bit on the finer things in life these days. It ain't the decadence I'm talking about - but the loveliness of the evening breeze stroking the coconut trees to a sway, the vastness of the night sky, the exquisite architecture that keeps one seeing things anew.
