My Book Shelf.... :-)

Well I know it has been a long time….But I want to make this blog really special….. so I have decided against writing mediocre things (though I have to admit that’s all I have to tell these days.) Well I think I’ll write about the books I read recently

‘100 Shades Of White’ Preethi Nair….

I don’t know why this happens with me…. If I read a book at a stretch I mean 1-2 days I really love it, there is nothing better in this world… but when I retrospect I feel that it was in fact a very mediocre one…. I mean I really liked this one after finishing it. Recommended the same to my book club friends (actually that’s the name I have given them…. I am not part of any official book club really) but now I think it was inspired by god of small things, Mistress of spices, Name sake, and To kill a mocking bird…. But the result was a truly amazing book… I don’t say it’s a must read but if you want to spend some lazy hours and you happen to have this book in your book shelf… go for it……


Any ways the next one I have started is ‘ The Hungry Tide’ Amitav Ghosh . To tell you the truth I was a little apprehensive before going for it primarily because my first encounter with this author.. The Glass Palace was a failure. I mean I was really looking forward to read this much critically acclaimed book but there were far too many characters in such a shot span that I was confused……any ways the next one really surprised me…. Its such a beautiful book on sundarbans …. Full marks to writer for the research he has put into the geological and historical facts/events enlisted… I at times wonder how I didn’t know about such a beautiful part of the country I was born and brought up into…….Any ways I am reading the last part of the book and I hope to learn much more….

Nothing more to tell really…. I have kind of stopped watching television., for good or bad I don’t know …..bye for now…….and I wont really mind if people leave a comment ;-)
