Heya! This seems cool!Excited about this one!
Kushal, I changed my mind. I am thinking of reading , 'The white tiger '. what do you say?
Happy reading guys :)So what are you two going to read?
I am fickle minded when it comes to choosing a book. But I think I will read 'the white tiger' by Aravind Adiga this time. And Kushal had chosen 'The Alchemist'.

Thanks Gorab.
That's even more better! Now you can tell me what happens from pages 251 to 267 ... I bought it from those fake book vendors and these pages were missing! Well I could understand perfectly what was going on, yet it'd seem better to know exactly what happens!
@gorab ... I could've replied, but my shitty iPad app doesn't let me reply ... So thank you! And I am reading the alchemist!
the book has an interesting start. and the descriptions are vivid, but not pleasant. especially, the descriptions of burning the dead in the banks of River Ganga sent a chill up my spine.
the book beautifully explains the shocking conversion of an intelligent boy deprived of choices and chances into a murderer. why didn't I come across this book earlier...?
Sree wrote: "oh.. I hate his granny...!"Hahaha, so true ... the descriptions are great in this!
But hey! Its still 30 Apr!
:p
it's okay. I will read another book from your read shelf.How is your reading going? is ' The Alchemist' good?
I just started it! The starting is epic in itself! So serene!
glad you like it...! keep me updated on your views about the book.
Sure! Actually liked it so much, I put aside the books ... By books I mean text books for my entrances and m going to buy the hard copy today , later in the evening!
Great...! it is one of the few books of which I have the paperback. a good book we could reread many times.
Both nice books. Hope you guys are enjoying!@Kushal : Missing pages?? Awww that sucks!
@Sree : What next after tiger? That was pretty fast!
Kushal wrote: "Cool! And what's up with white tiger?"I finished The white tiger, Kushal. I am now just idling around scrolling up and down your red shelf, trying to find another book.
Gorab wrote: "@Sree : What next after tiger? That was pretty fast!"d i am currently reading some eight or nine books now, Gorab, and i am trying to complete them
Whaaaa! How fast do you even read? I'm on page 13! :pI just bought the book btw ...
And I really do recommend the Haroun and the sea of stories
haha...! I am having holidays right now and books are my only hope to pass time
Haroun and the sea of stories which you recommended sounds so interesting and I am planning to go wreck the library in the neighborhood and find the book.
Sree wrote: "currently reading some eight or nine books now"Whaaat! Doesn't it mix up stories in your head? Recently I see people reading more than 5 at a time and wonder how how how!
*rolling eyes*
*faints*

*rolling ey..."
Me too!
I wonder the same thing! Alchemist, a piddly 160 page book and I'm expecting it to go on for a week!
@gorab *sparkles water in your face and wakes you up*the stories do not mix up in my head, fortunately.
@kushal don't worry, Kushal. the slower you read the book the better you enjoy it. Enjoy, Enjoy...!
Haha! But somewhere deep down, in the depths of a bleeding heart lies the feeling of jealousy amongst people ....
geeky answer ... reading alchemist, ...truth... I stopped reading it an hour ago when I saw people online on fb...
and I am writing stuff for my next blogpost
great...! I am utterly bored and I am just browsing through goodreads. I don't even have the frame of mind to read right now.
I pretty much read everything. but I have to admit that when I first saw you read shelf a few days back I was shocked. only science fiction books...! I think we did not even have a book in common. my favourite genres are psychology, mystery and romance. I currently searching for a good psychological thriller. recommend if you find one
gone girl!kafka on the shore and Wind-Up bird chronicle! I just finished it! and it is so damn awesome! It's not psycho thriller though ... but you really will think a lot about psychology and a definite and a must read!
I have ebooks too :p
great...! I will start those books once I finish the books in my ever winding currently reading list.
haha, which book(s) are you reading now?
*slowly wakes up* :P"searching for a good psychological thriller"
Gone Girl!
@Kushal : I'm very tempted to read Murakami. Heard a lot about him and haven't read a single!
@Gorab since you and kushal, both are suggesting Gone girl, I think it will not hurt to add one more book to my currently reading list by starting to read gone girl right now @Kushal okay buddy These are books I am currently reading
1. Cinnamon and gunpowder
2. A suitable boy
3. Anna Karenina
4. uncle Fred in springtime
5. Passenger to Frankfurt
6. Switch on ( a non fiction book ' motivational stuff')
7. nine lives
8. the oath of vayuputras( I am thinking of abandoning this book)
the only book I know was the 8th!That's a good one though .. don't abandon it!

You really should read one of his! I think I'll go on a murakami spree!
The worst part ... His books are way too costly
2nd and 3rd, both are HUGE? how are you managing them?
