Compulsive reader and book-owner (I own all books on my shelves, except for those on the wish list). On my list of books I've read I intend to stick to thirty books that for some reason made an impression on me.

    hi josee, have not moved home. have been in goa last 14 yrs now. allende's zorro is the only one which is widely acclaimed and translated in english. have not read any other of her books.

    glad to know you went to the van gogh museum. dazzling colours makes ones life so bright and meaningful.

    just finished rereading 'to sir with love'. planning to start 'breaking the spell' daniel dantt. looking forward to 'the white tiger' lets see if i can get a copy.

    take care and regards to rob too.

    I have not read anything by Louis de Bernieres. What would you recommend reading first? Yes I do plan to read Born on a Blue day. However, I can not remember why I picked out that book. I keep adding books that I want to read but forget to remind myself why I pick out that particular book. What's a girl to do but continue to read!

    I see you've read a few of Haruki Markumi's books. I too love his stories. But my favorite so far is "Kafka on the Shore". Just finished it. If you like him you sould read 100 years of solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

    thanks for your concern, health wise i am fine... your reaction is but natural.. 'sanchita and not reading' is something people can not identify with..

    some disturbance at workplace hence everything has gone topsy turvy.. i guess to read and to read voraciously, one needs to be happy first..

    but then such is life.. absolutely feel like taking a break from work and spending more time with family, specially son, his music, my passion for other things.. what is this 'mid life crisis'?? dont know..
