It is of the nature of idea to be communicated: written, spoken, done. The idea is like grass. It craves light, likes crowds, thrives on crossbreeding, grows better for being stepped on. ~ Ursula K Le Guin (The Dispossessed)

Could not find another quote that best fit the effect she had on my reading habits.

RIP and it is sad to know that there will be no new books of yours to look forward to.

This is going to take a while by the look of things !

Time to bid goodbye to the dirty old man of India ! RIP Khushwant Singh and you were a writer whom I liked. Wherever you end up being, I hope you have Sex, Scotch and Scholastics to give you company.

This is the response of the defenders of Sparta to the Commander of the Roman Army : 'If you are a god, you will not hurt those who have never injured you.If you are a man, advance and you will find men equal to yourself.'

I scraped through about 50 books this year. The status of the challenge shows that 'You are 50 books behind schedule' and there is just 45 minutes left of 2013 ! Nice try !

This has not been a truly great year in terms of reading but there is always the next year to look forward to ! Here's wishing everyone who cares to read this a great 2014 ! May you all read more and more this New Year...

RIP Tom Clancy. Thank you for being one of those great authors from my childhood and starting me off on reading ! Go in peace !

I cannot remember the last time I was here. The past two months have been a blur of travels and more travels. A quick tour of the US has made me finally step into a realm that I had not touched before : the e-reader ! I missed this place and all you bibliophiles. It feels great to be back ! :)

Wishing all the wonderful people on goodreads a happy and book filled 2013 ! I hope all of you read more than what you did in 2012 and write fabulous reviews too.

The goodreads community is fascinating ! On the one hand you have people who read and write reviews at a scorching pace and who add books as to-read which they have every intention of reading. On the other hand you have others who add hundreds of books in their to-read bucket and then you hear nothing from them for the next one year when they repeat this with another hundred books !

Finally I get my hands on you..

Back to Howard Roarke's world...three months since I began and I am still at the 200th page...no other book till am done with you now..
