Atman is brahma

2024.Book24 - Treasure Hunt (Camilleri)

2024.Book 22 - The Golden Enclaves (Novik)

2024.Book21 - Heavy Weather (Wodehouse)

 Excellent humour. Wodehouse is consistently great.

2024.Book20 - The DaVinci Code (Brown)

Good from a thriller perspective, but historically and religiously preposterous
