No no.. I didn't change anything in my lifestyle to merit this post. I merely have relapsed to an old habit - one that I loved and had no time to do while in grad school - reading! Yes, inspired by my dreams and other blogs, I have chosen 7 books to finish before the end of a month starting from today. 2 are chick books as I have termed them, 2 are 2 parts of Feynman's famed autobiographies, 1 - a Diana focus and 2 excellent novels recommended by fellow readers. I am looking forward to my solitary time with these books. I received a big package of my books yesterday and I haven't felt that new book thrill since Harry Potter 7. The sheer smell of the pages, the feel of the paperback one some and the crisp jackets on the others all makes for a very enjoyable experience. I look forward to completing all these books and succinctly summarizing the ones I will recommend. BTW, the picture above is that of a 4 leaf clover and it signifies immense luck. The sheer fact that I have relapsed to reading is lucky, don't you think? I do :)

Wow girls.. Kite Runner is one of the "excellent recommended novels" and Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides is the other. :)

Hi Divya -> Thanks for the kind words. I will take up your book recommendation as well. Keep visiting!
Middlesex is quite good! unlike any other I have read.
You could try 'The Handmaid's tale' and 'Never let me go' too.
Radhika ->Handmaid's Tale is on my wishlist! And I have read "Never Let me go". It was one of those depressingly brilliant books. I was saddened by the theme but fascinated by the book itself. Good one.
