Books - more books

Current Mood : Chilling... In anticipation (of what - is the big question)
Playing in the background : In Lamhon Ke Daaman Mein and Jashn E Bahaara in a loop. Just cannot stop listening to these two songs. With the whole hype and a lot of controversy surrounding the movie, would like to see what the final outcome is.

Is it just me or did last week seem to go on and on for ever? Not just the week but very single day seemed never ending. Starting with Monday, the mantra was - one day down 4 more to go. Is that a sign - a sign of saturation/a sign of frustration or just one of those things that come and go?

After a long time I felt the need to read books. Picked up a few books last week.
~ If Morning Ever Comes - Ok time pass. You can skip this one.
~ Zero Coupon - This book I'd read a couple of years back and loved it. Financial Thriller is what I call it :) With so many frauds/scandals going on these days with the big names...like the recent Soc Gen one of $ 7bn - this is a very interesting read.
~ Nights in Rodanthe - The cover said "You'll cry in spite of yourself" and I wanted to see what the book had that would make me cry... and I found out :) A simple, realistic and beautiful tale of emotions. If you are in a mood for a warm story about relationships, this would be an ideal one.
~ False Impressions - Another one of Archer's fast paced novels. Not very easy to put down.
~ Interpretor of maladies - I really liked The Namesake so picked this one up. Read the first few stories, well written but I'm currently not in the mood for sad depressing stories. Will save this for some other time :)

There! that's what I've been up to off late...of course apart from all the photo shopping :)
Hope the weekend's been good for everyone.

    Somewhat has the same feel as Jashn-e-bahara :)

    Whatsay?

  2. 5 books per week?!! No wonder the week felt looooong! [:D]

    Your PPH (Pages Per Hour) would be in 100's.

    In anticipation? "Of what" - curiously that is my question too! Is it a couple of months wait? [;)] No answer expected. All will be known in due time, I guess! [:)]
