My love for books started at a very young age, thanks to my parents. I grew up surrounded by books, and there was no looking back. My sister and I remember our growing years in terms of books - as we graduated from one genre/author to another - Enid Blyton, Chandamama, Illustrated Junior & Senior Classics, Agatha Christie, Edgar Wallace, Daphne du Maurier, James Herriot, R.K.Narayan, so on and so forth. Even now, I always carry a book with me - it would be a shame to waste a spare moment when I could dig my nose into a good book instead, now wouldnt it?
My Shelf has books that I have read + books that I want to read because I have been recommended the title by someone I know or because I am curious about the book.
"Plan to read" has books that are on my 2011 queue for reading (I always plan for a few months ahead when it comes to my reading material. Ah, the joys of expectant glee!)
I am trying to focus on the "1001 books you must read before you die" list, books that have been adapted into movies (I am a HUGE movie buff as well!) and literature from places/countries I'll be visiting this year. Of course, with the occasional digression or two!
My 2011 reading list is at:
