I am currently reading Ruskin Bond’s “Collected Fiction”. I am so proud to possess a copy of it. Though it made a hole in my purse ( costed me Rs 395) But believe me its worth every penny. I just love his stiries though some ppl might categorise his work under Children’s Literature. I dont consider him so. I think he is a gr8 writeer , an amzing story teller.Though he hasnt got the respect n admiration that is due to him i think that Penguins effort to bring out a collected edition of his works is a step towards the right direction.
I am also reading Paulo Coelho’s “Like A Flowing River”. It’s a collection of Coelho’s reflection n short stories.The stories are so simple yet the message conveyed through them is profound.This is a sign of true genius.
My dad has asked me to read Mnai Bhaumik’s “Code Name God”.But I want to start with “My Name Is Red” by Orhan Pamuk. But i dont think i wud be able to read it up this month becoz I am already in a financial crunch after spending half of my pocket money on books. I have to be wise abt my finances. I cant squander away my meagre pocket money. I am yet to buy the books suggested by my profs in college. Damn I hate the libraries they never have the books “in ” wen u need them . I had to reserve so many books n I had to pay for each bookI reserve. I have membership in three libraries. Well two r my college’s but they do count , dont u think ?Even BCL didnt have the books I needed. This isnt surprising considering the fact that all my class mates r hunting for the same text as I am.
The thing is that i like to keep copies of any book that i read. So i have a copy of all the books tht were in my course. I have some which were not part of the course yet i have copies of them coz i luv reading n collecting books. I dream of owning my own library one day.
Well u know wat wen i was in school i used to dream abt reading n collecting all the MB’s in the world. He he he he , funny na?We all were kids some day,right?Anyways enough of cribbing.
