i bought a couple of good books today…..not watching the Parikrama concert DID help out after all…<\/p>\n
latest acquisitions:
\n–Zadie Smith’s “White Teeth”. There is a movie being made on the book, it’s supposed to be hilarious, and it stars Om Puri….i bought the hardcover.<\/p>\n
–Neil Gaiman’s “Neverwhere”. This was one book i had been DESPERATELY looking for….my Gaiman collection is half complete now….the Gaiman novel collection, i mean. btw, i finished reading it in one go yesterday….long time since a book did that to me….<\/p>\n
–Ron Kovic’s “Born On The Fourth Of July” , supposed to be a VERY powerful book!!! the first few pages are awesome!!!<\/p>\n
–An interesting one….i saw a FAT book with a nice looking female on the cover and from a distance, the name looked like “Samurai”…went closer and looked to find “Samraj”….at the back, the reviewer had said, “A must for fans of Tolkienesque fantasy”…the book was, believe it or not, a historical retelling of the Mahabharata, from the Point of View of Draupadi and Yudhishtira, who have to “lead a band of rag tag rebellers against the army of the mighty Kuru empire. ”
\nEntertaining to say the least!!! And the author is an American female. :-D<\/p>\n
Yeah, yesterday was another major milestone….installed and played my first RPG called “Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn”, a LONG demo version, the full game being a four-cd epic available at MR Book stall…methinks i will buy it before the month is through….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
