message 10910: by IShita (new)

IShita Anoop- I will never understand that :P

Sri- it's absurdly slow *sighs*
I've been struck on it for 2 weeks now. Haven't been reading much, have my bhua and cousins staying over. But I'm oddly impressed with the writing. Very sophisticatedly erotic. Talented as Nabokov was !

Ipshita (miss_romanceaholic) | 1531 comments Ishu Our 8:30 appointment!! remember???


message 10915: by Srividya (new)

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) @Ishita - I remember reading it long back and I also found the writing good.. but a tad slow for my taste then... I never got around to reading it after I matured (so to speak :P) :) :)


message 10916: by Anoop (new)

Anoop Pai B (anooppai) @Ishita- you will understand it, eventually. One fine day you will have a revelation and you will truly understand what I meant :D :D :D


message 10917: by Srividya (new)

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) @Ini - you mean reading list?

I have to finish David Copperfield and then will hopefully finish Under the Dome and some part of The Lions of Al Rassan by Monday :) :)

hi av..:-)


message 10921: by Anoop (new)

Anoop Pai B (anooppai) by the way, I get the honours for the comment no 11000 :P :P


message 10922: by IShita (new)

IShita Anoop- yes it is but I find it a bit sickening too. I understand the girl's a nymphomaniac and the protagonist too but still.
I wait for the revelation that u're speaking of :)

Sri- yes, it's indeed a slow book. I never get around more than 10-20 pages a day ! I'm finding it hard to understand at some places, though. But I absolutely love the style !

IShita Ipshi- yes, I set an alarm for it XD

When I read Lolita the first time, I was a college going kid.. so I was and guess still am a big follower of Dickens - so nothing could match it in terms of literature or writing.. Later I went on to fast paced fiction and really liked a story that moved reasonably fast with a good background description but not never ending prose.. which I find (guess still find) too tedious at times.

Today am okay with either style.. although I still find never ending prose a little too tedious for me.. :)

Okay :) I haven't read Dickens, so that has to be ventured into some time next year :)
I think you will like The Quincunx written by Charles Palliser. Apparently, the book is written in Dickens style :) i have loved it thus far :)


message 10929: by IShita (new)

IShita Fong- yes :P

Ipshi- I was right behind ya but my net sucked -_-

Sri- yes. The proses seem to go on and on. That's why, I think, it's sucha slow book and I never read much at a time.
I haven't read a lot of dickens but I have some and he's good. I've read thodi si Christmas Carol And it was amazing. I'm gonna complete it this year. But I'm sort of (obsessed) with literature and everything so my favorites are Shakespeare and Voltaire. I enjoy the Bronte sisters too.


message 10930: by Srividya (new)

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) I will definitely try Quincunx Anoop :) In fact, am also reading 2666 this year - something i picked from your list :P :P

@Ishita - Honestly speaking I was not a major fan of the Bronte sisters. Found their books extremely boring and a bit on the extreme.. but many people have loved it.. and am sure they are worth their merit but its not for me :)

As for Shakespeare - well what can I say.. He is and will be my first and only love :D :D


message 10931: by Anoop (new)

Anoop Pai B (anooppai) @Srividya- me and Anirudh have totally contradictory views regarding 2666. I still haven't gotten over it. He is still pissed at it :D
You will be the tie breaker :P


message 10932: by IShita (new)

IShita Sri- I haven't met many who loves the Bronte sister either but one of my absolute favorites is by Emily Bronte- Wuthering Heights.
I love the book.

And yay, another Shakespeare fan :D
*high 5*


message 10933: by Srividya (new)

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) @Anoop - those were my thoughts exactly :P :P I saw his ratings after I started reading the book and laughed :P :P


message 10934: by Anoop (new)

Anoop Pai B (anooppai) you have started already???


message 10935: by Srividya (new)

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) *High 5* for Shakespeare Ishita.. but don't kill me.. I did not really like Wuthering Heights and any rating I gave it was only for the language rather than the contents .. and that too only because when I read it (in school and forced at that I must say) I found the language good.. Have never bothered to read it again EVER!!

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) Anoop wrote: "you have started already???"

Ya - started a few pages but buddy reads got in between so abandoned it for the time being. Will get back to it next month.. I quite liked what I did read.. the style was completely different from what I am used to reading.. found it nice :)

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) Hahahahaha Ini.. no expert or anything... :P :P

message 10942: by IShita (new)

IShita And u understood it then ? O.o
I read it just last year and now I'm making it a point to read it atleast once every year. I find the book very profound. Maybe I'm looking into it too much but I think it's because of this depth that I love the book.
I hate and love Heathcliff. He's soo dark but deep down he's just hurt. It were the people who turned him the way he did, he didn't become what he had himself. He was pathetic and the end made me sympathize him further.
