Long long ago, so long ago that the guy who tagged me (Sids) doesn't remember how long ago, I was tagged into this meme about books I read. So here it goes...
Number of books I own:
LOTS! Whenever I go home, I have to clear a place in my room to sit down or take a nap. I heard that my mom managed to clear the mess my books made. I never bothered to count. But I did manage to get a lot of stuff like old volumes of Mahabaratha, Complete works of Shakespeare, O'Henry collection as an inheritance from my grandpa.. and I could never get enough of books. After coming to iiitb, I have to think of other basic needs like sustenance, so I have reduced the number of books that I buy.
Last book I bought:
Five point some one... a really cool book. There was something with those characters that I could actually identify with. We were off to birthday treat of Manas, and happened to go to Crossroads(?) by chance. The book is so great that it is still doing the rounds in the hostel (yeah, people actually read it!).
Last book I read:
I think "Charmed" by Nora Roberts. It is sort of a lovey-dovey book. I can finish one of these books in a hour and a half (an added advantage). It is not serious, no great philosophy or thoughts thrown in. Basically a boy meets girl, they fall in love, are not ready to accept it and finally get married (happily ever after ending). The book is a change from the regular stuff like sci-fi, philosophy and action.
Five books that mean a lot to me:
1. The Godfather by Mario Puzo [my personal bible in life, when in doubt, read the Godfather]
2. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho [love that book]
3. Mahabaratha [never read the Sanskrit version, but one of the best political books written]
4. Love Story by Erich Seagal
5. Who moved my Cheese? by Dr. Spencer Johnson [not that I am into self-help books, just that I like this particular one]
That's that folks.
P.S. I decided not to mention my obsession with Star Wars, space and time travel and Space Odysseys series, 'cos it is considered unhealty [;)]. People just don't realize that what is impossible is just something that we can't imagine. Possiblities are as far as we can stretch our mind.

Free for lunch
Dilbert's creators have been kind enough to give him his wish... but what about me? Hey, I am free for lunch too...
