What are the different emotions you have finished a book with.Amazement! Thrill? Sadness?
Difficult to catalog. Eh! Yes it is a whole spectrum merging into one another through indistinct boundaries.

Last night, I finished reading "The Financial Expert" by RK Narayan. The book is typical of his style. No twists and turns, no suspense, and nothing you can call a climax. It is a flat narration of the story of a man from rags to riches to rags. A story of brilliance of a man coupled with his rustic mentality. The thoughts, life and wrongdoings of a man.

Sounds boring doesn't it??

But the way Narayan puts it on paper is sheer brilliance. His honest and straightforward style of writing makes the story flow so smoothly that you do not dare disrupt it. The writing is so natural and close to your heart that you could actually smell the earth of malgudi in it.
In all! A beautiful book!
