Getting T(R)agged!!!

( © : Chakra..I had just Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V'd from his post)

Book tagging virus is on in the blogosphere at the moment. Many Thanks to Chakra who tagged me.

Total Number of Books I Own: Must be about 30-40. I had never thought of making a list of all books that I read..most of my reading comes just like that...I hardly remember the author's name of the book...Only now Iam growing up to noting down the author name and making a list of the books that I read. Also, I use the Library for my reading..not necessarily buying books(ie untill now)

Last few Books I Bought:

To Kill a Mocking Bird - Harper Lee(Yeah!. I bought it after a not-so-lovable experience with The Inscrutable Americans..)

The Inscrutable Americans -Anurag Mathur

Ponniyin Selvan - Amarar Kalki

Last Book I was gifted: Oops!!..I don't know why, but people seldom think of gifting me a book...so I am unable to fill in this column.

Last Book I Read: The Inscrutable Americans - Anurag Mathur (Last week)

Currently Reading: To Kill a Mocking Bird - Harper Lee.

Five Books That Mean a Lot to Me:

All that I read matter a lot to me. Just for the sake of answering, I list 5 books that are on top of my mind this instance.

Theivaththin Kural - A collected volume of Acharya's (Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Swamigal) verses.

The Age of Paradox - Charles Handy- Actually, this book would have come first, but for the faith I have in Acharya.

The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho.

Ponniyin Selvan - Kalki.

Selfish Gene - Richard Dawkins.

Tag five people and have them do this on their blogs:
(All you hav to do is, prepare similar stuff and post the same on your blog)

Chakra.... that one was for you...coz people might think you ragged me!!..[Not that I dont want them to think that way..but you see..courtesy;-)))]

@Cogito:Yeah!!..Ponniyin Selvan is a timeless classic..no wonder many tamil bloggers share the love for that book.
@Sat: I am not into that much of Thrillers...But, Once upon a time, I used to read thrillers (mostly Tamizhvaanan's)...I had practically lived with Sangarlal, Myna, Kathirikkai etc..miss them now...of late, I hadnt read many thrillers!!`; 6/12/2005 11:54 PM
