Meme - an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture
One of my friends on LiveJournal www.livejournal.com/~demonicdiaries tagged me to do this.
So here goes
As far as I can remember, I have always been a voracious reader. When I was a kid, I used to read comics (Nagraj,Dhruv stuff) and some classics. After clearing JEE, I had a month with nothing to do. At that time I discovered English novels and did not look back. I have read anything and everything that came my way ranging from Sidney Sheldon to Ayn Rand. Now I am moving towards more serious reading like GOST, Catch 22, To Kill a Mocking Bird etc and autobiographies.
Total No. of Books I Own: hmm around 35 (my own). Not counting comics & books owned by family members
Last Book I Bought: 27 books from B'lore :)). Last One is Straight From Dell
