Happy New Year!!I heard that the movie is a little dark. Your opinion???
Hey!How's it going? What have you been reading lately?
Hey!yeah i rly rly love romantic novels.....currently i'm reading THE GIFT by Cecilia Ahern.....nd i'm loving it til now...wats ur book abt????
hey!!i'm sure we can suggest each other some wonderful books.I'm currently reading WANTED from the PRETTY LITTLE LIARS series....wat about u????
hi,well, you obviously saw that the book didn't appeal to me. I'm not counting the reasons why, just didn't do it for me. But it's all very subjective so, yes, I think you should read it, just too make your own idea what is all about (and the book is quite small actually). To tell you the truth, I don't like Gogol's style all that much. Definitely not my favorite Russian author.Sorry, I didn't understand what you meant about "south America..." well done :)bye
hi,I'm reading it now (now=for a long time), just couldn't to get into it, but it would be nice to discuss it right after.btw, i saw you have as fav "the catcher in the rye", nice..... :)
Check out:1. The Forever Series by Joe Haldeman (Forever Peace/ Forever Free/ Forever War)2. Tau Zero by Poul Anderson (if you get it, or look for an ebook online)3. Altered Carbon by Rochard Morgan4. All My Sins Remembered by Joe Haldeman5. Behold the Man by Michael Moorcock6. The Foundation Series by Isaac AsimovThe list can go on, but this is fairly representative of old & new stuff - the romantics and the cyber-punks.
Thanks for the recommendation, Shivam. Yes, I've read the book a while back and enjoyed it thoroughly.Am concentrating on sci fi these days, as that is what I really adore.
thanks, well, it depends on its length,but usually I like lounging when reading and you can't do that in front of a pc, can you?but I'll try to give it a go. :D
I tried to find the book, no such luck, yet, so I'll try to buy it. Anyway, thanks for your recommendation, the book seems really interesting.
HiI work in iEnergizer, NOIDA. Its a KPO. Am at work - will speak to you tomorrow.Take care.
Hi ShivamI'm into parallel reading too :) - currently on Berlin (Antony Beevor), The Drought (J.G. Ballard) and The Difficulty of Being Good (Gurcharan Das). My primary interests are SF and WW2. However, I recently came to know of "The Difficulty..." being a good read, and picked up a mint/ autographed copy from Saket for 200 bucks :). Actually, the book is quite decent in its treatment of the subject.There are these days when I lapse into old reading - William, Tintin, Asterix, Biggles, etc. - especially when I look up my son's collection (we're trying to catalogue some of that too). They're reads that bring back memories from nearly three decades ago - LOL.I noticed you're on Joyce and Orwell - both very fine tomes!I'd recently done a re-read of Premchand - Godaan and Seva Sadan - I fully agree - the guy is amazing...Where do you pick your books in Gurgaon? I visit Landmark, but the sale's nearly done with now, and I do not know of any decent stores otherwise.- Gaurav+91-98119-32300
Hey ShivamPleasure to make your acquaintance! Yes, I am sure we can share a lot of notes on what's good out there to read :)Where're you from? I am from Delhi.CheersGaurav
I have read my fair share of everything, including fantasy. I see that you are mentioning Germany in your conversations. Do you happen to be a Beatsteaks or Die Arzte fan?
So what made you interested in being my friend, if I may ask?;P
Hello Shivam!
Hello there. Welcome to my friends list:) Nice to meet you.
by the way - since we talked about racism oin germany - it is worse in the former eastern germany, so have that in mind when deciding where in germany to go
heywell, the book is written by Kristiyana Valcheva, but as far as i know it exists only in german and french language ...it's on my list, i gave it 3 stars (but you can learn a lot about bulgarians from it :) )sorry, can't tell you a good book about german life or language - i learned both by doing ...however, the Goethe institut acts as an cultural ambasador of germany (including training in the language) and is as far as i have heared quite goodyou can take a look at http://www.goethe.de/enindex.htmmaybe you can find something usefull therehere also the url of the institut in indiahttp://www.goethe.de/ins/in/lp/enindex.htmhope this helps a bitcya
hiyeah, i'm ok toojust finished a book about the bulgarian nurses in Lybia. Surely there was a ghostwriter, for it is well written. Poor women had over 8 years of hell ...I prefere reading to listening to audio books ... find it more enjoyable somehowhave a nice day :)
