TTPBM: Do you like cats? Usually people who read have an affinity for cats.

[Ahtims]

am not sure. (I mean I am not averse to them, but have not been in close quarters with cats)
TTPBM: same

[Aravind]

Never kept a cat as pet, there used to be several of stray cats sniffing for something fishy at the backyard of my house. Few of them were even born at various corners of my house. Didn't find them literary stimulating at all. But I have heard of that myth.

TTPBM: Same

[Rosun]

Don't hate them! I love dogs. Cats are mean!

TTPBM: Same

[Parikhit]

I adore cats as well. All the cats I owned were the most precious things I had. Let me take this moment and mention to the world how loved you, my cats, were.

Push-push, Rimba, Jassi, Topsy and Bimbo(though he was a male cat:)). Lost Bimbo last year and I have requested maa not to keep one again :(

TTPBM: Same

[Vinoth]

TTPBM: the book which disappointed you recently

[Aravind]

When we were orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro

TTPBM: Same

[Ahtims]

Shadow Wife - Diane Chamberlain. I had great expectations for this book, but the initial pages turned out to be something like a sentimental romantic novel with lots of "he thought"s and "she guessed"s.....
TTPBM: the fictional character you have a massive crush upon?

[Sheetal]

Howard Roark from The fountainhead by ayn rand!
Never come across such intimidatingly intimate character!

TTPBM - same!

[Mansee]

Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind :)
and Mr. Darcy from Pride and prejudice is a close second!

TTPBM: same

[Aravind]

Miss Blabbermouth from Haroun and sea of stories :D

TTPBM: same

[Kunal]

On top of my mind:-

1. Holly Golightly (Breakfast at Tiffany's)
challenging, childlike, elusive and ethereal

2. Della Street (The Perry Mason series)
nurturing, devoted and unbelievably caring

TTPBM: Which genre in literature do you dislike the most?

Avakasikal portrays the story of an extended family settled in Malaysia.

I am hardworking and I if I set my mind to something, I always get it done, no matter what happens.
I am also a very loyal friend, and I am often relied on for advice or just for someone to listen. Yah..so I am also a good listener.
(There's too many to list! :D JK)

TTPBM: The world is about to end. But only you and one other person will survive. You get to chose who that other person is. Who will it be?

[Sathya]

I would not wish to live alone and if I have the chance to survive, I would not go with any survivor :)

TTPBM: what would you do if you were in an heated argument with a stranger and he does not know that you have a Gun?
