Good morning buddy... Finally started IT again today.... completed Cahpter 5 and started 6....
Good morning, buddy! I thought you'll neglect IT this time too :P Now that it isn't happening, I'll start it today
I didn't have my phone with me yesterday, so had to read the only paperback I had, buddy
15% of Emergency Retold by Kuldip Nayar
It's very interesting this time, buddy.. It was confusing when I attempted it last time..
oh okayyy... when did i neglect IT??? I was pacing and had to stop to wait for you only :-| Then got diverted.. I want to finish IT this month... And The movie trailer was good too... May be will watch:-)
Finish Emergency Retold and based on ur review I'll read.... U r finishing standalone books which i'm not reading :- :-| ;-|
I'm reading them because I know they are not readable for you. I don't want you to read anything about history until and unless you finish India After Gandhi, buddy :/ That Ruskin Bond book was a small novella.. It's not that good at all.. I just read it to take my mind off The Count of Monte Cristo :'(
ha ha.. as if u had finished India After Gandhi .:-\ why do u want to take ur mind off monte cristo?
It was a very good work, but the effort was very taxing, na.. So thought of reading something light and came across that small book.

You tell me, buddy.. We are going to read some short stories this weekend..
And then we can read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which reminds me of Alice in Wonderland
And then we can go for Dresden Files #9
And Then There Were None
Lets see buddy... Lets try to make some progress in IT and then we can move to one of these books.... And God,,!!!!IT is scary at times buddy... :-O :-O :-O #sneakreading

@Ini: did you start DC? or buying the paperback? if you are planning to buy it please read Pillars of Earth in the meantime. don't be scared by the size it is as entertaining as Cristo and at parts more than that. :)

I think I'll buy the paperback and then read .... Suggest some other books for buying na..!!! I thought of buying A tale of two cities and Great expectations by dickens.. But then i realised that I already have those 2 :-( :-(

Was good and scary.
It doesn't faithfully replicate the book.
this part 1 of the duology covers only the childhood of the 7 losees. And timeframe is 1989
( whereas in the book they were kids in 1958 and grownups in 1985)
