My favorite too, especially the ominous sound of thirteen on a clock:rolleyes:

I have just completed the first chapter of Crime and Punishment, and already Fyodor has acquired my loyalty. He is too good in describing the thoughts of his characters. And, though, more than once, I found those thoughts to be repulsive, particularly Raskolnikoff's dream, where a hapless mare...

I am sharing the grief, guilt and delirium of Raskolnikoff, who has just murdered Ivanovna in Crime and Punishment' by Fyodor Dostovesky.

Interesting discussion, and to add some more spice to the dish, my two cents:): I feel that whenever you read something written by someone else, or for that matter, presented on TV, some amount of add-on to reality is bound to happen. After all, nobody is able to transfer the facts in its...

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. A good classic (Not Great though, as the name implied). Liked the strong poetic strain in Fitzgerald's age old tale of spurned lover turning criminal to get rich overnight.

Exactly my sentiments! I had recently finished The Great Gatsby and I found it good and not so good in parts. I was impressed with the well written style, I liked the witty one liners, enjoyed the hidden sarcasm, and good humor. I am also impressed with the way Jay Gatz character was...

I read Mahatma Vs Gandhi by Dinkar Joshi. The book highlighted the story of Mahatma Gandhi's elder son Harilal Gandhi and gave a glimpse into Mahatma's role as a father. Quite an engaging read. I am reading The Story of My Experiments with Truth and I must say that I can connect more with...

I am reading The Great Gatsby presently, and you almost voiced my sentiments. Though, I am in awe with Scott Fitzgerald's poetic language, the story is a big let down.

Post the name of a book and author, and the next person would post the name of another book beginning with the last alphabet of either the book or the author. Lets get the ball rolling with one of my favorite Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Are you talking about 'Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox' by Eoin Colfer? My net search shows that Artemis Fowl's mother contracts a debilitating disease which can only be cured by the brain fluid of the lemur. Artemis opens up the time stream and thus travels back in time, allowing him to save...

I have read just one book by Salman Rushdie, 'Moor's Last Sigh' and I found it quite boring, and literally struggled to keep myself glued till the end ( I hate to abandon books midway). I kept wondering why is he one of the most read authors. I could hardly find anything interesting in the...
