Books...
Books have always been one of the favourites on my wishlist.
Just have a foggy idea,that years back,i think when i was in the primary school i enjoyed reading .Those days was a fullto fan of a comic ...yea, it was "Tinkle". I had even persuaded nihar to subscribe that comic...(he still curses me for it).Dont know know y da hell i spent paisa on it.
But as years went by, likes changed.I liked reading books which included fiction.One book which bugged me like hell was TELL ME YOUR DREAMS by Sidney Sheldon.Good author...but frankly speaking,i really hated this work of his.The whole script is stuck up like a chewing gum in the courtroom for about 3/4 chapters of the book,unnecessarily.I still have books on the shelf which i have yet to read...
WHEELS,EVENING NEWS-Aurthur Hailey...just finished reading AIRPORT.
THE BROKER-John Grisham...heard its a good book.
Here is what Grishams' gotta say abt his works.

Here is what Grishams' gotta say abt his works.
"My background is law, certainly not satellites or espionage.
I'm more terrified of high-tech electronic gadgets today than a year ago.
(These books are still written on a thirteen-year-old word processor.
When it stutters, as it seems to do more and more, I literally hold my breath.
When it finally quits, I'm probably done, too.)
It's all fiction, folks. I know very little about spies, electronic surveillance,
satellite phones, smartphones, bugs, wires, mikes, and the people who use them."

Yea,its true...u need to have a lot of knowledge abt law if u gotta read his books.I have friends who have read the whole John Grisham series.God knows,what gave them such courage to read the whole series.
Recently shifted to non-fiction and i enjoyed reading IGNITED MINDS,GREAT INDIAN JOURNEYS and BILL GATES SPEAKS(courtesy-nihar).I already mentioned earlier....i am craving to read this non fiction work, FUTUREWISE.And If there's a mention of Italy in any books,then it sure must be some good book.
Finally who can forget the videsi "Sarkar"...Yea,GODFATHER....can anyone lend me that book for a day plz??Anyways for the time being let me enjoy reading READERS' DIGEST(da subscription commenced this month).By the way,this has been a long post.

Congratulations on 1000 hits!
Hey Abhishek..Even i love Tinkle!! I subscribed to it until I was in 10th standard I guess...and I contributed articles to it too hehe..Even now sometimes I pick it up..And yea you have to read 'The Godfather'..Words cannot describe that book..its an experience!! I'm a Mafia Novel connoisseur lol and a diehard Puzo fan..I'm done with The Godfather and The Sicilian[absolutely stunning], and now I'm reading The Godfather Returns by Mike Winegardner. I've still got to read Fools Die, The Family and The Dark Arena..I wish to heaven Mario Puzo was alive!!!!!!!!
I need to put ma hands on Airport..heard a lot about it, but neva got chance.
Second, congrats on subscribing to RD. Word of caution, stay away from those free books they offer, coz after that they will start asking you for money. Thats what I call cheap marketing.
And yes...congrats on finishing 1000 hits on blog!!
