'Without Feathers' was recommended and lent by Thara Mohan- cheers and thanks! She had warned me of the apparent danger of 'public laughter' and related embarrassment- so it happened as well, to be frank. My symptoms were broad smiles and wide grins and I somehow managed to laugh silently with a my cheeks almost exploding due to all the suppressed laughter, during my reading sessions in the MMTS train and RTC bus. 

Without Feathers is a collection of various essays, notes, and two plays by Woody Allen. I especially enjoyed the two plays - God and Death. The whole book was weird and funny, going haywire, and making you laugh all the while. Do read, everyone.

Woody Allen's method of classic, thought-provoking humour, which is seen in his movies and writings alike, makes for an absolute pleasure reading and viewing experience. He has a great understanding of arts, literature, politics, world affairs, and many other subjects and his humour comes from the combination of all these. I shall try and read his other works as I come across them in due time. Again, do read if you get Without Feathers!
