i have been tagged by ~Phobiac~...........
Hey can i include my engg books too :)
ok let me start now....
Total Number of Books I own:
Well dont quite remember... but i am sure its more than 40.... Lately bought a lot of Sidney Sheldon books...
Total number of books given to others and never came back :
may be 2 or 3 .... but comics ........ i dont remember getting them back.....
Total number of books flicked from others :
None - Me very nice u see ;)
Last Book I bought:
Lord of the Rings..... [uff its so fat and the print is so small.....] and Master of the Game [Sidney Sheldon]... bought both of them together
Last Book I was gifted:
Secret Island... [Enid Blyton] ..... gift by mom...my first book other than a comic :)
After that got no more books as gifts.....
Last Book I read:
Master of the Game.....
[ofcourse..... read a few books on UNIX,PERL tooo recently ;)]
I am currently reading:
Lord of Rings......... [i read quite fast.... but dunno if i will finish it in my lifetime.... the font of the book ...just doesnt inspire me to go ahead.... but still have completed around 50 pages of that book.....]
Five Books that mean a lot to me:
1. Secret Island - My first book
2. Gone with the Wind - the first fat book i read. Though i dint like the story..... liked the way the author has narrated the story.... I would really feel i was just watching it....
3. Coma - By Robert Cook.... This was the first book to test my patience.... Coz just dint understand the first 100 pages.... but as the story goes on.... everything falls into place... [thanks to my friend..she had told me "u wont understand anything in the beginning ... but later u'll like it" and did happen so :)]
4. Tell me your dreams - Sidney Sheldon .... Started to wonder if i too had a split personality :)
5. Harry Potter - the whole series... just brought back the fairy tale and magic stories i heard as a child :)
Now for the devil me to come into action . heheh *** grinning ***
Who am I gonna tag ?
No numbers specified so.... here it goes.....
- Raj
- Karthik
- Somu
- Gangadhar

Must reads:
Life of PI
Exodus (birth of israel, set in 2nd world war period) - I am reading this now.
If you like reading non-fiction
Wings of Fire
Jack Welch and the GE Way and Jack Welch's autobiography - Straight from the Gut.
and of course, Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons. Do not read the other two books, they follow the same template as the above..very stereotypical..
Enjoiii
hi arathi, looks like there r lotta avid readers around ahh
me not a book person...have read very less though both my dad n mom have specialised in library science and have worked all their life in the hugeeeeeee library of University of agricultural sciences (UAS)bangalore
have read very less..
in school used to read those enid blyton ones
I enjoyed this count of monte christo by Alexander Dumas, its also made into a movie
if possible read this
I picked up this autobiography of gandhiji - my experiments with truth from the footpaths of MG Road last friday for 50 bucks, m reading this now
so u can conclude m not a bookie ;-)
Tell me your dreams is such a nice book.. it was the first one I read. I still remember it, and yeah.. and then I researched about MPD.. I remember.
I recently finished reading Jack Welch - Straight From The Gut. Really a nice book, the first autobiography I read - Its a must read.
And Da Vinci Code - its such a freaky book, do read it.
I think you must have read The Godfatther by now, its such a classic.
And the one I love the most is The Alchemist.. :) a fantastic fable on how to follow your dreams, it has changed so many things, and the way that I used look at life.
Thanks for visiting my blog. :)
We've got two books in common.
I've read both 'tell me ur dreams' and 'Master of the game' by Sidney Sheldon. I'm working on 'Gone with the wind' now....amazing book :D
I was wondering when this was gonna hit me, I was just jumping in glee that I had escaped, sigh there goes the glee. Will put it up soon ;p
Hey ... I like "Tell me your dreams" too!
err - pardon my ignorant self. but what's this tagging thingy all about?

Nothing serious about it... all for fun
Me wanna read "Brain" & "Seizure" too by Robin Cook:)
is it about any of our interests or only relating to books - 'cos even i saw a few blogs with these - and all of them speak of only books!
even i'm not a book person. i read stuff off my comp. and i dare not post my reading interests. mostly they are technical stuff related to language standards, compiler implementations, etc. how boring na??
Gangadhar,
thats gr8.. will wait to see.
Srinivas,
Well as of now its about books... in mine... there s lots going on about music etc etc....

Phobiac,

Gangadhar,
Most welcome...

Didn't find coma appealing. Like your friend advised I should perhaps read robin cook books from the end.
'Tell me your dreams' seems interesting.
Nice blog!

Gosh.. whichever blog you visit these days, appears to be tagged with something or the other! BTW you sound like a big time book lover! Had I been asked to take up this taggie, my answer to most question would be 'Not Applicable' for sure! I hardly read any book! Well well... somehow amanged to read through my study books though. :p
Good witty answers! Nice post! :)
Smyta,

Waiting for the next one :)
