Miss Quirky will kill us both if we rebel against her group :P :P

chalo enough of my nonsense , enjoy your buddy reads (if you have the strength and patience to pick up a book) :P :P

[Srividya]

Harry strength and patience to pick up a book will be there .. The trick is to sustain it till we finish it :) :P :p

[Srividya]

[Srividya]

We can Jins.. Just hope I do justice to it.. This month has been a colossal failure but hope to make up for it next month...:)

So let's be adventurous and do both

Which one do we start with??

[Bloodyhell]

[Indiabookstore]

I love both of these books! I think you guys will have a fantastic buddy-read. They're both excellent.

[Srividya]

Thanks Priyanka.. :) :)

[Anuj]

i really loved the "perks" you may enjoy it

[A, Crazy.]

I loved 'Perks' too...I hope u love the book too:))

[Srividya]

Thanks Anuj and Ruchi.. Looking forward to reading it, after so many recommendations :) :)

[Srividya]

Jins--- I thought we had decided to go with Perks first and then Kafka!!! Why the confusion?? :) :)

[Srividya]

Jins --- u were d one who suggested it in the first place---- read the above messages :) :)

Looks like college is troubling u loads :) :P

[Srividya]

May reads buddy start on 1st of May :) :) :)

Hmm u can start earlier if u want, no one's gonna arrest u!! :P :P lolsss

[Srividya]

Agh ok ok got ur question now... Sorry sorry my bad!!

U can start whenever -- let us know if 1st is not convenient -- Divya and mish are also on this one so ....

I think 1st is good as it will den divide the month into two halves, allowing us equal time for both.. What say u???

Also Divya are u gonna read both books with us or only one???

Mish are u done or will start with us!???

Questions and too many questions :P

[Srividya]

Yup. am planning to start on the 1st .. at some time.. :D :D

Btw how do you want to discuss it.. after finishing it or while reading? Asking cos I feel that discussions will be best after finishing it completely but am open to anything :)

[Divya]

I have Perks of Being A Wallflower, but I can't find Kafka On the Shore anywhere, so I don't think I will be able to join that. I'll read Perks with you.

[Srividya]

@Divya -- if you are not averse to reading ebooks.. here's a link where you can read it online and i guess even download it ... no force but if availability is the only problem.. then this is one option :) :)

[Divya]

I am joining Kafka too! Thank you Srividya for giving the link!

[Srividya]

Always glad to oblige Harry :P :P :D

[Srividya]

I haven't finished it yet, but all I can manage to say is also WOW. You finished it already?!?!?!?

[Srividya]

Hmmm..both my buddies are way ahead of me.. one already done and the other close to finishing *thought to self - buck up!!* :P

[Divya]

Oh Sri, I am not close to finishing... I just finished 1/3rd of it. And there still is a lot of time, so no need to hurry!

[Srividya]

Ohh Divs by the time I start, you would have finished too.. :D :D

And Oh Divs.. can you tell your dancing buddy not to dance so much... she'l sprain her ankle again :P :P

[Divya]

*clears throat*
Umm, Shinjini, I was asked by a very important person to convey a message to you:
Can you please stop dancing? We are worried you might sprain your ankle again. Please take care.

Okay, Sri? Happy? :P:D

[Srividya]

Very happy Divs.. :) :) Could you pass on another message for me please... it goes as under

Motor mouth huh??? -- Now witness the power of silence :P :P :P

[Srividya]

Silence doesn't kill... it only teaches :P :P

[Misha]

teaches what???
