The Book Thread

Dude, I read that when I was about 8.

We don't have much awareness about books here + I have just reached the realization that getting marks doesn't get anything.
This book was there with me for about 7 years, yet I never read it, a folly of myself.

Ah. I spent my entire childhood reading books, hanging out with my friends and playing video games/sport and went absolutely fine in primary school. Secondary school equals slight cut down on that.

I am reading "The Triumph of the Sun" by Wilbur Smith. Its pretty engrossing with the backdrop in 19th century in Khartoum.

midway through fear and loathing in las vegas. Fantastic.
quite apt considering the absolute carnage that has been the first two weeks of living away from the parent, too.

The picture of Dorian Grey- Oscar Wilde.
I loved the subtle humour in the book
Its about the character Dorian Grey who wishes never to grow old when he sees a splendid portrait of himself. His wish comes true, he stops aging but the portrait drawn starts aging!

In my free time, I always picks The Da Vinci Code to understand it fully. Robinson Cruisoe still interests me than others.

Though I'm, looking for a new book, any suggestions.
