Books... Books... Books!

I am making a list…

I am checking it twice…

No, am not playing Santa Claus… Though I wish he would ‘come to town’ with a sack load of books for me. The list of books I need to buy just keeps getting longer… and longer… and longer.

Right now, I have stuck to a few well known authors and basic genres. I am yet to start my collection of books by Indian authors… My experience with Chetan Bhagat and Arundhati Roy has made me quite wary of the Indian style of fiction. Even then, I do want to get my hands on The Great Indian Novel (by ShashiTharoor) and try The Shiva Trilogy (by Amish Thripathi) as soon as possible.

So… here’s the list… loooong, ain’t it?
