[Mansee]

Novels....i don't feel the same connect with short stories ..

TTPBM: same

[Rosun]

Short Stories. Few pages and you get a complete story. A fragment of the character's life, beautifully told.

TTPBM: same

[Ruchita]

Novels, I like to sink in a particular story,get the feelings,get completey into it.. The create perfect atmosphere,makes you involve in them,, like I cried while i read message in a bottle..short stories are like a good timepass.
TTPBm- Same

[Tarun]

Novels,mostly for the same reasons as above.

TTPBM: Do u like the idea of re-reading a previously read book?

[Parikhit]

Yes, absolutely.

TTPBM: Same

[Tarun]

i dont like the idea as i consider it a lost opportunity to read another book.My to-read shelf is too big n time is too scarce! :)

TTPBM:same

[Hajarath Prasad]

yes..only if the book has a good rereadability value and offers something new each time you go through it.....
TTPBM : The author whom you would love to meet or have met already?

[Ruchita]

Nicholas Sparks. :) And J.K.Rowling. :D
TTPBM: 1st book which touched your heart..?

[Rosun]

Undoubtedly 'The old man and the sea' by Ernest Hemingway. I was in tears.

TTPBM: same

[Jagadeesh KV]

not yet read one..(besides i have always wanted to read one)

TTPBM: what would you do if you find a bag full of money beside a dead person on an empty road/highway?

[Rosun]

Walk past ASAP. I'd do no harm to the dead :)
TTPBM: Same

[Abhijith]

It depends on how the person died, if he is murdered I'll call police. or else I'll check on the body and then call police. (atleast I hope so)


TTPBM:same

[Aravind]

I'll strangle him once more, just to be sure. Take the money and put his body in the boot of my car and ring my boss to say, "Job done".

TTPBM: What would you do when you find that the book that you have been reading, abandoning sleep and skipping meals, suddenly has many pages missing in between??

[Hajarath Prasad]

hmmm...that depends on my state of mind ,ranging from tearing the book into pieces to yelling at whoever comes across me then..:p
TTPBM: same

[Ahtims]

would try to find another copy - by hook or by crook
TTPBM: have you had such an experience (ref question by Hajarath)

[Mansee]

Thankfully no - it would be quite disturbing!

TTPBM: same

[Ahtims]

yes, I was reading "Dream's sake" and found that towards the end where things are getting heated, my book missed 25 pages. I mailed flipkart, they replaced the copy. But the wedding scene lingered in my mind for nearly 10 days

TTPBM: do you keep tabs of the books you read?

[Rosun]

Unfortunately no. I get too engrossed with what I am reading at present and the to-read list. Once in a while if someone is discussing a book I read, then I kinda re-visit the memories of the book.

TTPBM: How far do you think a fictional author influence his/her readers?

[Anbu]

A lot more than the self help authors :)

TTPBM: Same

[Aravind]

Writers can influence reader's thoughts and ideology. That is as much as influencing the reader to take a different road.

TTPBM: Same

[Sathya]

It is observed that at different stages of life, one is temporarily influenced to a certain period by what we read and it is hard to travel in the straight lines of ones life...we get bored often and desire changes at all times.

TTPBM: Would you write to get noticed or would you write to satisfy your feelings?

[Rosun]

Tough choice! Do I need to pick only one? :P Very, very tough call and I don't even write professionally.

TTPBM: same

[Parikhit]

Personally, I have been greatly influenced by so many works of fiction that they refuse to leave me and linger in the corners of my head. I tend to relate to the stories. But there are some books where the influence has not been profound but did find a teeny-weeny place in my grey matter.

TTPBM: Do you believe in new year resolutions?

[Anbu]

No.. never took one..

TTPBM: same

[Rosun]

Yes and no! I take 'em by the dozens. Few survive as the year runs... :P
Same:

[Aravind]

I believe in same new year resolutions every year

TTPBM: What is the new year's resolution that you would love others to take? :D

[Hajarath Prasad]

i would love if all members in good reads (or atleast in indian readers ) resolve to donate all the books they have to me...:p
TTPBM:same

[Rosun]

I would look up to Hajarath to share all his new-found books with me :P
