Hi Ankit,
I've selected two books for you -
1. The Day of the Jackal - I read this earlier this year and liked it.
2. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - because it is on my to-read shelf as well.

Looking forward to your picks from my shelf.

Well, I want everyone to start in July but most of the people were so excited, they started right away. *looks at Syl*:P

I will start on July 1.:)

[Em Lost In Books, EmLo is my Name, PIFM is my Game]

Syl: You have read the original series?

And you scolded me when I was the first one to be excited! :( :P

[Em Lost In Books, EmLo is my Name, PIFM is my Game]

You're the special one, I can be strict with you.:P

You can start your chosen book, and you can take 40 days to finish it. See the bright side.;)

[Ahtims]

Baap reh, I thought we can start immediately ..#thismodisinnocent

[Tharun]

Hello!
Can I be a part of this challenge now or is it too late?

[Ahtims]

Tharun, next month probably. Or if some partners don't respond, perhaps late comers can come in to the rescue.

[Indrani]

Oh.. I thought I was the one getting late on starting on my book.. *now feels better*

[Arpit]

Hi Tharun,
My assigned partner is not responding. We can be partners.
But I see that you only have 2 books in your 'to-read' section. Please add atleast 10 books so that I can choose one among it for you to read.

[Em Lost In Books, EmLo is my Name, PIFM is my Game]

@Arpit: have you tried messaging her/him?

[Arpit]

Yup, I messaged him about the books to read.

Okay, if Tharun replies then its good. :)

Let us know how you liked it? :)

[Akanksha]

It's a fast read--straight and easy, however, I thought it was a bit of a let down after all the 5-star ratings and reviews. The book seemed to drag at many places.
The coming of age theme was fine with all the anxieties of growing up while the past still haunts, but what struck me the most is that the book is actually a monologue of a decadent society that scarcely wants to look any further. And this was hard for me to digest.
All this, however, is completely subjective. There must have been things in the book that so many people found brilliant. :-)

that's my style! *sunglasses*;)

[Jaya]

Congratulations to both!

@ moderators: what about those who have absentee partners :P ?

[Ahtims]

If those with absentee partners, just post their partner's names here, I will try to send the message again. If they dont respond in 48 hours, we can assign them latecomers, or they can pair up with each other. Let us explore the possibilities.

[Ritu]

My partner hasn't responded yet :(
His name is Glen.

[Ahtims]

Have messaged him now. My apologies. I think I forgot to add him to the messages I sent out a week ago.
Do wait for 48 hours. If he doesnot respond, Manju would be glad to pair you with someone else.

[Jaya]

Thanks, doc. I d messaged my partner y'day. Shall wait till tomorrow night and then let you all know.

1)Matilda- I read this book as a child and really liked it and I hope you may like it too .

2)Life After Life- ..."

Hi Ritu

I choose
1.Lord of the Flies: This is a very famous piece of dystopian fiction. I have heard great things about it. People who read this tend to become changed people.

2. The Ocean at the End of the Lane: written by a master story teller. Need I say more.

[Glen]

Are we supposed to read both the books recommended or anyone?

[Ahtims]

One would do, but you may read both if you want to. There's time till July end.
