Murale enjoys an eclectic mix of fiction and non-fiction ranging from the literary to books on history, science, art, drama, law and politics. He owes his reading habit to his late father who kept a bookcase filled with books and magazines which he called ‘our library’. It stood proudly in the corner of the sitting room at home, accessible to all. This bookcase is now part of his home furniture. A few survivors from ‘our library’, somewhat tattered and torn, still sit on its shelves.
