  1. aah...I am early then. Anyways I am reading count of monte cristo. So far seems like a brilliant book.
  2. I am reading To kill a mockingbird now and till now it has been awesome. I just can't figure out how I did not read it for so many years...
  3. Sure Shelbel, I'll get and read it. Thanks!
  4. Just finished Old man and the sea by Ernst Hemingway. Very good book. Although I had read the marathi translation before, the reading english book was a great experience. Just realized that I am diverting more and more from my original reading list. Got a new Jules Vern omnibus today and I'll start Twenty thousand leagues under the sea from tomorrow.
  5. Read Three mistakes of my life by Chetan Bhagat. Excerpts from review from blog named bookworm. What strikes you first about Chetan Bhagat
  6. Just finished The evening news by Arthur Hailey. Book is gripping but the end is guessable. Overall fun to read but does not add significantly to your good reading list.

    Cricket

    Cricket is religion here in India. I am a huge fan of cricket and especially Sachin Tendulkar. Frankly I think India-Pakistan matches have taken over the ashes in terms of excitement.
  8. Nobody for Sherlock Holmes? I like him a lot. Hercule Poirot is also very good.
  9. Just finished reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. It is a very good book. In starting young Pip encounters a convict near his town who demands food and other things from him. Pip fulfills his demand but convict is eventually caught quarelling with another convict. Some time later he is invited uptown to play with Estella who is miss Havisham's daughter. After these curious incidents he is suddenly supplied with lots of money by unknown benefactor to make him a 'gentleman'. Story proceeds with pips London stay and shocking discoveries of his life. The style of writing from the eyes of young boy. Change in his perspective by change in environment and his becoming gentleman are very effectively captured. All in all must read for all!
  10. Can anyone tell me how to edit previous posts?
  11. Some more books I'll like to add to the list. Catcher in the rye by J.D.Sallinger I also am a huge fan of P.G.Wodehouse. So I plan to read some of his books also.
  12. Some books that I would like to buy and read for remaining half of year Hungry tide by Amitav ghosh Count of monte-cristo by Alexander Dumas Anna carenina by Leo Tolstoy Three Mistakes of my life by Chetan Bhagat To kill a mockingbird by Harper Lee
  13. yes. I have read about two third of it and till now it was fascinating to read.
