The voluminous novel, the small,packed print made me keep it in reserve- to take when I am starved for something to read which I am particularly not at present. Sort of busy times at homefront. Those were young years when I burnt midnight oil to complete a volume!!! Now a game of infinite patience or scrabble in the computer & browsing seem more pleasing! Besides the English daily & a couple of vernacular weeklies I am becoming lazy to read!!! :(

Tell you what, this is true for almost everyone here. :(

Worst part has to be reading ebooks! Ebooks could be effective, but it has no "life"! It's worse when you're pushed to browse parallely, or listen to music while reading it.. :)

Finished reading The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Worth reading :notworthy:

Someday, I want to read Dostoevsky

:)

Finished reading A spot og bother by Mark Haddon.
Didnt find it interesting at all :banghead:

just finished Robert Ludlum's 'The Matlock Paper'.
It was fast paced book but predictable and cliched. This is the first Ludlum novel I read.
Planning to rent 'Crisis' by Robin Cook. Pavalamani, is it worth a read? I have read some of Cook's old books like Coma, Fever, Harmful Intent & Mindbend. Crisis sumaaravavadhu irukka?

After reading all the contradicting posts about Ayn Rand's novel, 'The Fountainhead' my curiosity was greatly aroused. Only yesterday I started reading it with trepidation. Now about 60 pages into it I find all my misgivings unfounded! I am liking it! A strong hand writing with confidence. Powerful use of language. Nothing shocking or upsetting as I feared! A book published years before I was born means it is a period novel. It is a pity I can't take more time to read in my present busy schedule!

Finished reading: Crime and punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
