I think most of us who grew up in the 80s and early 90s would immediately recognize the name Enid Blyton. She has written a lot of children’s books but the one that stood out the most was a boy name Fatty and the Find-Outers, a bunch of kids going about their neighborhood trying to solve...

I loved reading this memoir, a wonderfully written story about William Kamkwamba from Malawi who built a windmill out of scraps to help his family at times of famine. And by scraps I mean blue gum trees, bicycle parts, and materials collected in a local scrapyard. I read up on his story after...

[ad] A dazzling story that had me riveted to its pages during my 12 days of bliss away from the office. It was difficult to ignore the book. “…I should start off by kissing some God’s arse. Which God’s arse though? There are so many choices. See, the Muslims have one...
