    I don't know about the big fuss but a lot of people i know have read him and found hom okay. Light and easy. I think it's more to do with the pricing of the book.

    I am not very sure. Knut Humsan is my favourite writer and his writings like Vagabond, Growth of the soil, Pan...are entirely different than to deal with 'Astrology'. I checked my shelf and found this book in my 'plan to read' list. I might curious to match the name of the book and the writer no other than him! Are U sure it is a book of nothing but typical Astrology? Then I would remove it from my shelf.

    Extremely true; but I hate astrology and I am surprised to know 'astrology for all' in my shelf. It must be a mistake and I have to inform administrator, shelfari. Thaaaaaaanks!

    Even if those are their you will, unless by accident, never be able to find. First you never know if those are in their original names or translators changed those into some names of their choice. Then it is the spelling. Both the book's Title and the authors name. Say for instance Sheershendu Mukhopadhya. You can write a hundred variety of spelling of the same name and there also if it is Mukhopadhya or Mukherjee. Its a mess.

    Actually I was thinking about sending a friend request to you. At least sending you a thanks note. I actually picked up lot of Bengali books from your shelf. Yes it is very difficult to get Bengali books in shelfari. Fortunate are those people who can re-construct their childhood through selfari.

    yes, selfish gene by Dawkins. It is about social behaviors of whole animal kingdom controlled by gene (chromosomes). Extremely interesting. If U didn't read it, i request U to manage one from library or old book shop and start reading (though I have to go through yr shelf to know yr taste). By the way, have U read a brief history of time by S. Hawkin? I love that book though it is so much involved with higher Physics, I could not conceive everything of it.

    I love to go to boi-mela, though now-a days boi-mela crowd are very much unfamiliar to me! Anyway, I can't resist myself buying some books. So, I would be busy reading some 'unplanned' books during March.
