When Apeejay Surrendra Group's Priti Paul went on a lit quest to Thailand

By Apoorva Puranik

Love for the written word comes naturally to Priti Paul, Director, Apeejay Surrendra Group, which also owns a chain of book stores across India. So what’s on her to-read list for 2017?

"This year is going to be all about classics. Right from 18th century literature to neoclassical writings, I plan to read it all, date wise," she said. On her favourite book, Paul recalled popular author, Elena Ferrante’s My Brilliant Friend. "I was in Thailand last year and was yet to read the last book in the series. So, I scouted every nook and corner of all the markets till I found it," she said with a laugh. That’s quite a lit quest."
