Are you afraid of Dark? - Sidney Sheldon
The only Sidney Sheldon novel I hated and regret reading :( It was so predictable. The novel was over-hyped for nothing :(Quote:

Sex & marriage are 2 different things, totally unrelated unlike in our world. The heroine goes & gets married to the second hero in the evening, goes to the hero, her lover the same night for sex, returns to the husband next day to be his official wife, lying cold in the bed, the husband asking who was his rival & she calmly giving his name....do I swallow more than I can swallow? I have serious problem with digesting this western attitude to casual sex, anywhere, any place with any one. The net result is I regard the westerners as aliens, strangers to our habits, concepts & beliefs. A compulsory aloofness I have to cultivate to retain my sanity & peace of mind!!!
But, Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain;
The best-laid schemes o' mice an 'men
Gang aft agley,
An'lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!
Finished Reading: Of mice and men - by John Steinbeck :cry:
A beautiful book :)Quote:

'Blaze' by Stephen King
Very different from his other novels. An extremely dull story told in a not-so-boring way, with some humour thrown in between. I was a little disappointed as I expected a better ending....neither a must-read nor an avoidable book.
'Spider's Web' by Agatha Christie
One of her worst books. I have never read a christie book with so many missing links. It is a book written based on her play, im told. The characters are half-baked, investigation lame and the ending is :-(
Very boring read!
Reading 'An Equal Music' by Vikram Seth...
