Ill-read. Not much of a reader. Content with my unflattering collection of Folk-tales (Love the Russian fairy-tales!), Classics (Wordsworth, Penguin, etc.) and presently torn between Naipaul's 'Mimic Man' and a compilation of Modern Short Stories from all over the world - the first simply put 'un-put-down-able' and the second like 'stress-buster'! Bach, Beckett, Blyton, Dahl, Henry, Bertrand and Woodhouse's creation have engrossed me the most. I did like 'Shantaram'. In vernacular literature Satyajit Ray (Feluda, Professor Shanku, etc.) have accompanied me in my formative years. Then came Shukanta, Nazrul, Saratchandra and Tagore. Have heard precious little of 'Madhushaala' - just seem to forget everytime I am at the bookstore! « less
