*delurks* Yes, Starmark the best option by far. Some other smaller places but wouldn’t even bother with them. PS - SRS, do you mean Starmark in Phoenix Mall? I didn’t even know they had an EA branch. The Phoenix Mall branch isn’t bad. Not great, but not bad. Landmark was fantastic - so many amazing childhood memories. It was a “happy place” as a kid. Most of the slide came after they sold out to the Tata Group.. I am also mostly on Kindle now but recommendations come when I walk through bookshops and take notes plus friends, plus blogs and discussion forums relating to subjects I’m interested in..that kind of thing. Even book reviews in newspapers etc. I have friends who swear by Goodreads but I have never found it necessary.. Badri
