Long pending and I usually hate such voluminous tomes since I can’t possibly carry it on my bus ride to and fro work, but it’s been highly recommended, so I’m going to make a brave attempt to read it sometime soon. Status: Bought and To Read.

I’ve been meaning to read this for a while. While browsing around Blossoms, the bookstore, found this complete tome. Status: Bought and To Read.

ALMOST FRENCH by Sarah Turnbull: The story of an Australian journalist who settles down to the French way of life after meeting a Frenchman! It’s quite an interesting insight into the history, cultural traditions and way of life in France from the eyes of an outsider. Status: Bought and Read.

ANCIENT PROMISES: I’ve read one of Jaishree Misra’s books and was quite impressed so I picked up this one too. I’m trying to read more Indian authors these days though some of them have not been so impressive. Status: Bought and To Read.

This is one of those books that is very difficult to read at one shot. I have made several attempts without success! I think I am somewhere 1/5th of it and struggling. I keep going back to light reading after finishing a chapter! Status: Borrowed and In Progress.

LONG WAY ROUND: An account of a motorcycle trip around the world, which I only bought because it’s written by one of my favourite actors, Ewan McGregor. STATUS: Bought and In Progress.

THE BRAHMAPUTRA by Arup Kumar Dutta: A book I definitely should read since it’s about the river that flows through my home state of Assam. Status: Gift and To Read.

PECKED TO DEATH BY DUCKS: Continuing my travelogue reads, this one has been on my list for a while. Status: Gift and To Read.

THE KITE RUNNER: Supposedly a really good book and highly recommended too. Status: Bought and To Read.

THE MISTRESS OF SPICES by Chitra Divakaruna Banerjee: I figured I should finish this before the movie releases! Status: Bought and To Read.

A GUIDE TO ADOPTION IN INDIA: A topic that has held my interest for a long time. It’s a small book and a must read for anyone who is interested in knowing more about adoption, especially in the Indian context. Status: Bought and To Read.

NEEM DREAMS: I’ve had this book for more than a year now but somehow haven’t been motivated enough to read it. 2006, I have decided is the year that I will finally do it... Status: Gift and To Read.

DAVE BARRY IS NOT MAKING THIS UP: A hilarious compilation of his earlier columns. I literally had tears coming out of my eyes while reading some of the chapters. If you’re looking for some serious DB, this one is a must! Status: Bought and Read.

Try reprioritizing this book. Should be escalated to MUST READ NOWish Catergory. One of the greatest piece of literature ever...

What I'd like to get through in the next few months. Some are borrowed, and some bought during the Strand Book Festival and from Blossoms and a couple are gifts. I think I have enough for about 3-4 months... What does your list look like?

	arahsae says: I read Banerjee's short story collection Arranged Marriage last year and enjoyed it - maybe I'll pick this one up. Have you seen the illustrated version of the Bill Bryson? Almost French looks interesting; I'll add it to my list! Good luck! Posted 31 months ago. ( permalink )
	Ravages says: I took a similar shot of the books I had read, though. Called it the Bachelor's Bookshelf. Posted 31 months ago. ( permalink )
	anitabora says: rEEna: use holiday to read it ;) arahsae: that's a nice one. no, i haven't seen the illustrated version. that would be nice though and perhaps be easier to read. you should try almost french. it was quite enjoyable. ravages: where's the shot? and what have you got on your bachelor bookshelf? any common books? :) Posted 31 months ago.

	Ravages says: I shall upload the shot soon Anita. As for common books, I just finished reading Short History the second time. The second time I read it straight, in one go. As to other books, well, I have Ayn Rand, Richard Bach, Kalki and a few dozen others. Posted 31 months ago. ( permalink )
