Being a book junkie
I am a book-aholic.
I need a daily dose of some good reading.
This july i brought books over 1000 INR; something that is very difficult to justify.
My friends have recommended that i take membership to BCL and i am looking for people to share the membership fee.
Another problem i face is that people borrow books but dont return them.
Here is the current list:
1 book: Sanjay ( He to his credit has returned some of the books :) )
2 Books: Parikshit
2 Books: Loki for reading on his trip to Bangalore
1 Book : Ajay ( He has got "A curious incident of dog at night time" , a very darky funny book)
1 book : Vishwanath (Another of my favourite book "The Life of Pi" by Yann Martel)
1 book : Animesh ( Ummm.. His girlfriend wanted something to read and there was really no choice !!!! )
If people know you are a book-aholic then , to show their consideration , they also gift you books.
The most recent one that i got was on my birthday.
Titled "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus". I usually hate such kind of books but this seems to be different and is making some sense. I will get back with a review after i finish it.
Regarding unfinished books, i have recently run a huge backlog.
There are
1. The Zahir
2. Gibbon's the Fall and Decline of the Roman empire.
3. Godel, Escher,Bach
This is first time , that i am facing a book backlog but i hope to finish them all very soon.
Wish me luck on this odyssey
