Overall, it was a good beginning to my Tamil fiction reading; would have cherished the novel had I read it 10 years back.

Ponniyin Selvan
Just completed reading my first Tamil novel "Ponniyin Selvan". It was a good read with good characterizations but without any significant central theme or noteworthy philosophy. At the end of the 3 month duration of reading the 2000+ page novel, I am definitely not disappointed. I am getting a sense of contentment which I normally feel after watching a good masala Tamil movie: sans logic at many and important places.

I have had more aborted attempts at reading this novel than any other. Is there a reason you write that you would have cherished it ten years ago?
10 years back I was much more into fiction and had a more feminine mind than now.
