Re-reading has yielded good results so far. Train to Pak (from 3 to 5 stars), and God of Small Things (from DNF to 2.5! I know I'll read this yet again!)
To be eligible top re-read, I must read some first ;)

Say it again, man! Louder this time. Read it again?
Can someone pinch me? Am I dreaming?

Don't worry...if Goodreads survived another decade, I'm sure I'll remind you of this ;)

Updated the reading log in message 2.
loved The Outsiders 4/5 (review- https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...)
Coraline and The Witch of Blackbird Pond were okay.
Siddhartha improved with the re-reading and snatched a perfect-five :)

Also read few other books that I did not add on GR-
Adulthood Is a Myth- (3/5 stars)
Big Mushy Happy Lump - A sequel of the above mentioned book- (2/5 stars)
Chess Story- (4/5 stars)
An Ideal Husband - A play by Oscar Wilde- (3/5 stars)

And if I don't consider Harry Potter book (C'mon, it's HP) and Siddhartha (Telling you for the thousandth time: It was a re-reading, thus out of consideration), I have got only one perfect-five so far ( thanks to dear old RKN)!! The Outsiders was close one, but still not perfect-five. Out of some 20 odd books, only one perfect-five!! What a shame!!!
There you go, Manju and Gorab!
Currently reading-
The Namesake (65% done) (Expected- 4/5)
India After Gandhi: The History of the World's Largest Democracy (55% done) (Expected- 4/5)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (27% done) (Expected- It's Queen Rowling, so rating doesn't matter :P)

The last two are BRs with awesome people.
IAGandhi with Gorab.
HP#5 with Sundara Gandhi.
What a pity we couldn't drag the Gandhi lady in IAGandhi BR :P

It feels good to have your own thread, so you can spam it unapologetically and no-one can raise an eyebrow ;)

We never close or archive personal reading threads.

Don't!!! There's more chances of Rahul Gandhi becoming our PM than me writing and posting a review on time :P So do not wait, Miss Shar!
Upcoming reads? Sure, but not sure about the books.
