You have an eclectic taste. I'd just like to comment on Woolf. I've read A Room of One's Own and liked it immensely. Every time she goes off track in it with her distinct descriptiveness, I wished she went off tract more often. She's such a voice.
her stream of consciousness was inspirational! No doubt about that! :)
well actually thats how thoughts are... like clouds floating in our minds...readuy to be captured...so that beautiful verses/sentences can rain from our pen :)
Very true.

Favorite authors - too many to be listed.
Favorite poet - Pablo Neruda and Robert Frost only.
TX - You totally got to list your favorite authors that are too many. Believe me, it's good for you.
I reckon his list really, really too long now that it's taking days together to lay it out
I like this self help book called "Electrical and Electronics Measurements and Instrumentation" by A K Sawney.. I call it a self help book cos everytime I read it, it helps me to go to sleep 
Jokes apart, I'm not really much of a reader so I only read books which make me wanna turn to the next page - the only two books which I completely finished reading r 'The Godfather' and 'The Da Vinci Code'.. if I can read 'em, I'm sure they're great reads.
Also, I flick a lot of Khalil Gibran's lines for every Valentine's Day too - so his work is also sumthin I dnt think I cn do without
.
Currently, I'm reading Shantharam and I still findin it hard to get to the ending - it's been two years now
Thnx Arti..saw the movie Angels n Demons, so I already knw the ending(gud one though!! :)) ..probably will take up Lost Symbol after Shantharam.. believe it or not, I already bought the book some time back, still hvnt touched it yet
Wow, think I'll start thn... btw, I'm watchin Godfather again tonite :)
Raj - I must appreciate you for holding onto a 1000-pager like Shantharam. I never had the courage to pick it up against all the recommendations since it's too long and I have too less time to read. I think Mira Nair is adapting it to big screen. Hoping it gets made well and does justice to the critically acclaimed book.
Hey Ahimaaz, thnx fr ur kind words but I must tell u the truth...u only know half the story... at the risk of puttin down my intellectual capabalities (oxymoron here) , lemme reveal to u the real story ... I bought the book bout two years back whn I heard tht Mira Nair ws makin it into a movie with Amitabh Bachchan n Johny Depp.. the night I bought it, I read a few pages n left it by my bed..today 2 years later, I'm quite sure, it's still under my bed n I'm also very sure tht I will complete reading the remainin few 1998 or so pages one day.. but yes, I did hv the courage to hold it.. did help my biceps perhaps.. so thnku fr ur appreciation..
Raj - The story is believable. I have twice as many unfinished books than finished books. So, it's good to hold onto them so that we will eventually finish reading them one day.
You are a reader, Arti!
