Hey,
Thanks for the reply. I have relocated to Kolkata since the past year although I come down to Mumbai now and then. Currently do most of my reading online like most though I do pick some books up from either Landmark or Crossword stores. I checked out the website of Just Books as you suggested and the concept looks cool. In Kolkata though they have only store which is a bit far from where I am currently living. Thanks for the tip though, will let you know how it pans out if I ever get to using their service :)

thanks for the link Eric, I've read the article before, and you welcome :)
as for Dune, I've heard so much about it, I even have the book, though I didn't read it yet, I think I will :)
Hi Eric,
Thanks for your recommendations. I have not read Lee Child or Patrick Robinson or Larry Bond yet, will try them out at the earliest.
Hi Eric,
Dean Koontz's novels that he wrote between (1976 - 1995) are quite good. You can find the correct chronology of his writing on wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Koontz_bibliography
Some of the books of his that I enjoyed the most are:
1. Cold Fire
2. Intensity
3. Dark Rivers of the heart
4. The Bad Place
5. Lightning
6. The servants of Twilight
7. Whispers
i am one busy bee :(
Its compulsory to intern for 2 months, so thats what im doing.The worst part is that i have to intern after college hours which is really tiring. So all my reading has been put on hold... well, not on hold, more like reduced a great deal.
I'll give Lee Child a try. Ive come across his books before, but i've never got the chance to read it.
awww... dogs are adorable and i absolutely love them, but it definitely takes more than one person to take care of a dog. At home there are four of us, so there exists 'division of labour' :P
I enjoyed reading the Millenium series. Give it a try.
P.S : Do not watch the movie first! (the most recently released -girl with the dragon tatoo)
The "Devil" is annoyingly cute ^^!
As for my semester, yes, it has started. How i miss the holidays!
I'll give Facebook poker a shot eventually. 29?? very gangster-ish :D
hahahahahaha! My dad played, the luckiest in the family. Since my mum is still around and the house hasn't been lost, I conclude that we weren't that crazy after all :D. We played the roulette and won a lot. I tried my hand at slots and failed miserably. I've always wanted to learn a card game, but I'm quite sure I'll be bad at it.
The trip was GREAT! Gosh! gambling can become such an addiction, its scary!
Alex Cross books are fast paced and a good read:) I never read it in order so every time i pick up one of his books, it lacks continuation.
Thanks :)
Greek Mythology!!!! :) Of course I've read the story of Troy and i've read half of Lord of the Silver Bow. Unfortunately, I had to return it to the library, so i couldn't finish it. I shall definitely get my hands on it sometime :)
Hahaha! Rottweilers are quite scary! Well, I'm sure all the chasing must be helping in your (hopefully won't but quite certainly will be short-lived) exercise :P... I'm experiencing awesome-fantasy-book-depression. Its that terrible phase where you read a really good fantasy book and you don't find anything for long time that could match its awesomeness. I just finished the Way of Kings and thoroughly enjoyed it and now, i can't seem to find anything new:(
Im leaving on the 9th so thats something I'm looking forward to.
The devil's up to no good as usual. He tore my dad's new shirt last night :D
Hey!
I DID! and you were right, it was better than the first. I loved it! Too bad we'll have to wait long for the next one. My exams...well, I'm just glad its over. Now i can read a book in the open without hiding it in between Business Economics :P
I figured as much after reading the article. I was wondering if it was something you planned to incorporate for the Goa house... but that was before I learnt of the infinity pool :)
Err... how often do you check your mail?
I had a lovely weekend, thank you. Hope yours was good too. Thank you very much for the offer but I prefer a book to online reading so unless my library is unable to reserve it for me and my impatience soars, I'll wait for the physical copy. :)
That is good to know. In which case, I hope you will try Heyer some day. Greaves and Frazer are not really epic kind of novels, well, I don’t know how to classify Frazer simply because I haven’t ventured on a close read yet but Greaves is a more sociological interpretation of myths really. I have Hunger Games on my reading wishlist at the library. Thanks to the movie, it’s always issued out. I’ll have to curb my impatience. And cheers to the last thought!
Forgot the link: http://www.guardian.co.uk/childrens-books-site/2011/sep/15/charlie-higson-top-10-fantasy-children
I am very interested in the young adult genre but a little sceptical of investing money in it, so I love having a library to indulge that particular fancy. Although the young adults in the library do give me strange looks when I make for their shelf. I wonder if you’ve ever read Georgette Heyer. She is easily dismissed as Regency romance these days but she is so much more. She is a hoot when it comes to dialogues. If you won’t be embarrassed picking one up at the library, try Talisman Ring or Grand Sophy to start with or even Frederica. I suggest only because you profess a liking for Wodehouse. I haven’t read any Clive Cussler so I can’t commiserate with you on your disappointment. I will make sure to let you know what I think of Matrix. When you mentioned Greek mythology for kids, I remembered a Guardian article I once read and hunted it out for you. See if this helps. I never read Greek myths as a kid. Of course, now I have Robert Greaves and Frazer on my shelves and others as well, some of which I still have to read. We shall make plans to meet get the promised coffee soon.
