"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
If you could be a character from any book, who would you be? And why?
If I take classic literature, I would like to be Jane Eyre. She was a very strong character. She knew her mind and despite her station, knew to stand up for her rights. In her time, not many did that. I admire her for that.
If I consider, recent characters, I would like to be Lisbeth Salander. I admire her for her spirit, her intelligence, her independence.

Oh, I haven't read Jane but need to. I think Lisbeth is going to be a popular one, today. ;O)
Those are both great picks!
Great picks. Lisbeth is really something!
Just finished reading "Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Verghese and that makes me want to be Hema...an Indian doctor, working in Ethiopia. A strong and loving woman, self-forgetful and a bit feisty. Enjoy your blogs, gautami.
Jane's a great pic, although she led a pretty tough life. She's strong and I wish I had a bit more of that!
