By the age 12 or 13 I got into the habit of reading books and continues till date.My parents encouraged my reading habits and with proper control never affected my school and college studies.Now reading has become a sort of addiction... more »

    Hi,
    Seeing that you are a voracious reader, can you recommend some books about philosophy and spirituality which are interesting to read?

    Thanks for the recommendations. My friend told me that he would get me the book Haimavatha Bhuvil. I am hoping to read it next week. Meanwhile, I am an Engineering student from Trivandrum. What about you?

    "A voracious Reader", you are true to it sir. I can never keep up with the pace in which you read books. The book you read "Midwives" I don't have it in my polytechnic library, but should I find the book I will surely help myself reading it. Good to have you as a guide.

    Thanks Narayanan. Let me know what you think! I'm more interested in an open exachange of ideas and opinions than pats on the back, so feel free with your comments.

    Also, a book store probably won't have the book on hand in the store, but you can order it through them. Or you can get it from Amazon. But if you go to the blogsite,

    http://www.hyperspacebook.wordpress.com

    there is a link to the publisher (AuthorHouse). If you order it from them it will cost less and you'll get the book quicker. At any rate, it's good to make contact with you and don't hesitate to write me.

    I'll gladly recommend a good book whenever I stumble across it. I have been reading a series of interconnected books by an author named Steven Saylor. If you like a good mystery and/or enjoy historical fiction, these books are very enjoyable. The first book in the series is called Roman Blood.

    Dear Sir, Thanks for your recommendations. Yes, I would like to read J M Coetzees books now. I have not read any novel for some time, except a few Agatha Christie's mysteries. It seems like good old times. Have a super week, sir.

    Thank you for the recommendation sir, but unfortunately my polytechnic library doesn't seem to have a copy of the book. I am going to recommend it for purchase and try to get my hands on it when I can. However, just recently I read a book "The Outsider-Albert Camus" a short novel, it tells the story of a man whose lack of emotions gets him into trouble... he is really a writer with great insight..

    Hi,

    Haven't heard from you in a while.

    I actually have a Sparks book on one of my TBR piles somewhere, can't remember title. He seems like an author I'd like, just that his stuff sounds very sad. I'll let you know when I actually read him.

    Thanks again!

    Hi KPN,

    As always, thanks for your recommendations. I'm sure I can't keep up with you, that I have been reading a lot (mostly fiction--paranormal and vampire romance). Am still waiting for my order of 19 Minutes and The Memory Keepers Daughter. I saw in the TV Guide where this is an upcoming, I believe it was a, Lifetime movie starring Dermont Mulroney (one of my favorite actors). But I'm going to have to put off watching it until I read the book.

    Again, thanks!
