@saurabh
thats like asking why do you breath? :)
Reading just comes as a basic necessity...

TTPBM : Same as Saurabh's question..

[Rosun]

Just so. No specific reasons! In fact few of my friends feel I need a 'better pastime' now. :P

TTPBM: Did you like toys during childhood? (Barbie's, GI Joe's, the works...)

[Sathya]

Why do I read? It's like why do you eat...every thinking man has to tickle his brain and also know what others are thinking and to drive his own thoughts...hence, I read.

TTPBM: Have you written any book / article and has it been published?

[Rosun]

@Satya, yes- during college :P
@Saurabh, definitely yes! In fact I've done it before too.
TTPBM: Are you biased towards Indian writers? Do you tend to 'feel' for their works more?

And since the weekend has jus passed,i'd also change the Q

TTPBM:Do u get attracted to the name of a book and do impulsive buying or d'u just stick to recomms and reviews while book shopping.

[Mansee]

Stick to recos / reviews....if i see the background note and find it interesting, pick it up

TTPBM: same

[Anbu]

I try to stick to recos and review.. But whenever I go to bookstores, I always end up buying few by seeing the cover and the synopsis.

TTPBM: Same

[Rosun]

Always, always on recos and reviews. Took me a long time to understand this concept.
TTPBM: Same

[Rosun]

Plot with well crafted characters.
TTPBM: same

[Ahtims]

writing - good writing can make even insipid characters and bizarre plots readable
TTPBM: which is the first novel you read, and at what age?

[Kunal]

From most to least in order of priority for me: 1) Quality of writing, 2) Depth of the characters, 3) Plots/ Storylines

TTPBM: Novels or short stories? And please tell why one over the other.

[Ahtims]

@Saurabh, Little Women was the first major novel I read at around 10 years of age or so (barring lots and lots of Enid Blyton in earlier years)
@Kunal, Novels - I love slowly getting involved with the plot and characters, sometimes characters are like friends to me. A short story ends everything too fast. I dont get emotionally entangled - I just feel like an outsider who is having a peek
TTPBM: same as Kunal's question
