Alright, I really couldn't bring myself to face my cobwebbed blog. So I'm using the handy vacuum cleaner a.k.a tag to propel myself to dust it. Tagged eons back by Bumblee, I couldn't have been happier to return. I'm back for good !

1. Books that Changed Your Life
The textbooks my college provided in my first year. Made me realize that nothing more in the world could be more absurd and move on.
The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari tried to awaken me, but in vain !

2.A Book that I have read more than once
Definitely Enid Blyton, the Sweet Valleys, The Potter Series, The Da Vinci Code, Abridged version of Shakespeare's masterpieces and The Library of World Poetry.

3. A Book You'd Take onto a Desert Island
Undoubtedly Aesop's Fables.
This is the only book that keeps reminding me that innocence in the world is still nascent and unwilling to grow up.

4. Books That Made You Laugh
The Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy by Douglas Adams ! Proof that humor can be teamed with sci-fi.
And no second thoughts about Dilbert !!!

5. Books That Made You Cry
Potter 5 & 6 for Sirius & DD respectively.
Remember some wet pillows for mush books ! ;)

6.A Book You Wish Had Been Written
Errrmm ? I've read only stuff that have been published ! But I second the notion about Anbe Sivam on print !

7. Books You Wish Had Never Been Written
I wish I'd never started reading Lord of the Rings, for I have never crossed page 64 !
But it would do no justice, for every book is creative in its own right. (Textbooks excluded)

8. Books You're Currently Reading
a) Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho
b) The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

9. Books You've Been Meaning To Read
a)Life of Pi
b) Marley & Me
Bless me Hamakka!!!!! :D
c) High Fidelity by Nick Hornby

Bookmarking in turn :
Pree, Sujith, Priya and Bhargavi

hello there :)
true Lord of the Rings is one super hyped book. Its so hard to concentrate into all the details that Tolkien goes into.
Either that or I've been reading too much of chick-lit.
:S


Yo Dilbert!


Books You Wish Had Never Been Written
I wish I'd never started reading Lord of the Rings, for I have never crossed page 64 !

I second your opinion or textbooks. some textbooks are meant to be sleep-inducing.
