Great Expectations

She often told me that it was reading Great Expectations in standard seven that had got her really interested in reading.
Having made three or four attempts at reading this book of late, I just could not rest in peace thinking that if she could read it at the age of thirteen, why cant I get interested enough to finish the book.
Finally, raising this point with a friend made me realize that she must have actually read the abridged version of the book. The way I myself had read David Copperfield form Charles Dickens as well. I realised this only now.
Finally, I can throw the torturous book aside and sit with my one leg over the other and pick up my first ever P.G. Wodehouse: Jeeves Takes Charge.

The Kite Runner

I often wonder who my favorite author is.
J.K. Rowling has held the position for some time.
But Khaled Hossini( sorry for misspelling) has displaced her without a shadow of a doubt.
If you are willing to swallow some Bollywood type twists and turns then he will get you excited the way very few can.
Lovely book.
Definitely one of the best I have read in a long long time.

Tango Charlie

A real life story or an army man whose story became immortal through his diary which was found and made public.
Bobby Deol for the first and the last time in his life is likeable.
Awesome story.
Great plot.
Must watch even if it bombed at the box office.

Memoirs of a Gheisha

The author starts off with an author's note saying that the book is a true story and ends with acknowledgement saying that it is a work of fiction.
All through out the five hundred pages, the thrill of imagining everything actually happening suddenly seemed hollow.
The book was fun, non dramatic for fiction, detailed, riveting.
Must read but remember, it is fictitious.
