Books And Its Stories

Books have become an important aspect of my life.As quoted 'A Room without books is a body without soul '.** No offence intended** This passion for reading is probably inherited from my parents I guess.For me,it just have to be a book,as long as I can read. I am so obssessed with them. I never lend my books to anyone --For the fear that it would never be in my hands --.
Be it my academic books or novels, I hate to lend it to someone and people get baffled.But so far,only few of them had had the guts to borrow books and had kindly returned them back to me. --But one person has taken away a Sidney's novel,and Iam still tracing where on earth the person is --. It may be wrong from my part,but i cant help it.They are worth rubies to me.I wouldnt mind getting them a book from my pocket,but defintely not the one I own.

Books are way to enhance your creativity,In a way like,I literally imagine the characters ,or the place described in it. Like when it says 'It was lush green valley..' Now I imagine how the lush green looks. I remember Oscar Wilde lines 'imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not'!! haha.. So,in a way I have seen the Harward University and the pyramids of Egypt!

Some books should be tasted,some should be swallowed,some should be practised in life.I started off reading Sidney Sheldon books. Any woman would like his books as I do. All his books are woman oriented, the main story revolves around the life of the woman, her challenges and the victory over it. 'Tell me your dreams' is one ultimate book of his which kept my fingers crossed till the end. The story line is very intelligently written ,you gotta keep pace with it."If tomorrow comes" was too good.Keeps you on grib.

I have read other few books,nothing much impacted me. I liked one called 'Who Moved my cheese'. Simple concept of adpating yourself to a change in your life.The concept is told through the life of mice,thought provoking things ,but simple illustrations. And then,there was "The Alchemist".My,I have become a big fan of Paulo Coelho. The concept is amazing.

"Never give up,no matter what".We would have heard it many times, but the hard part is practising it! This book is about the self-discovery,following your dreams!!! Simple language but very enligthing .If any of you havent read it,I suggest you to read it,even if you dnt have the patience in life to read a book,sit up and read this one. It builds faith in youself, in GOD,in self-beleif.

Every line has a meaning,I literally marked every line of the book. One I liked is when he says "when you desire something,the whole world conspires in you achieving it."And also a quote taken from THE BIBLE, "Where is heart is,there is the treassure". The book is about everything - Believing yourself, Faith in GOD,quest for Love,rebuilds the essence of life .

"The Zeher" is another book from the same author,its deals with a different aspect of life, revolves around the human nature and feelings. One line from the book I often think upon is "Freedom is not the absence of committment ,but ability to choose a work and getting commited to do it".very true! I know some people,they say,getting committed is risky,I wanna enjoy life!Wnna be free" But truly, when there is no committment ,you dont get inspired and motivated.Challenges are what makes the life meaningful.I wonder how he is able to write such books ,it really touches your life, kinda your heart absorbs them..

RK Narayan is the one only Indian author,whose books I have read.Who can ever forget the Malgudi Days" and "Swami And Friends".. Very simple ,a situation you could see in your own life or of your neighbours.
Dan Brown,Nicolas Sparks were other authors I had read.I liked Jane Austen's "pride and prejuidce'.

On the lighter side, I am great fan of Archie Comics and in particular Jughead.. Ultimate Bindass character-hates retriction,not fond of gals,has a huge apetite **Esp HOTDOGS !! **

And apart from this, my habit of reading Tinkle, Wisdom still continues.
Its nice to read Suppandi Tales, Raja Hooja,Kalia the Crow!!! :-))... Fun to read now,though its meant for kids!

Recently read Erich Segal's "The Class" and "Love Story".The latter was the usual story about love and the tragedy .But I somehow felt,this shouldnt have happened to Jenny. Felt somewhat
depressing the day I read it.
