*The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out Of The Window And Disappeared*
by Jonas Jonasson.
So, the first finished book of 2018 is a delightful, nonsensical yarn about a 100 year old man who climbs out of the window of his old age home and goes on to have an adventure…but his present is nothing compared to the past where he was part in shaping the world order many a times!!! This is such a light read that you don’t mind the complete suspension of belief. You laugh, and you are happy for the motley group he makes friends on the way.
Born in New Delhi, India in 1980 and is a retired pessimist (still) living in New Delhi. He has Haryanvi ancestors, a Punjabi girlfriend, friends all over the world, two (or more) yet to be born children, (many) memories of (many) pet dogs and no cats ever. He holds an honours degree in English Literature from the University of Delhi and creates advertisements for paying the bills. His interests are universal, and include: living, eating, sleeping and when not sleeping, daydreaming. Other abiding interests include reading, writing, street photography, newspaper editorials, watching the moon and planning trekking trips that never materialize.
