Have you read any of these books?
When was the last time you held a book in your hands and
read it completely? How do you like
e-books vis-à-vis paperbacks/hardbound books?
The
last book I read was “A Bend in the Road” by Nicholas Sparks (eBook format).
What was the last book you read (in any format)?
If you
were stranded on an island for a day and had to (compulsorily) read a book,
which one would you choose and why?
Can you
judge a person by the book he/she reads?
P.S.: In search of a story. Hopefully I shall post one soon.
Comments
1. read none from the list you mentioned,
2. Am holding one right now. I practically sleep with them. No to e-books for me. I love paperbacks/hardbacks. the smell of books is intoxicating.
3. Last Book read was 'Ruler of the World' by Alex Rutherford. hardback.
4. If I had to read a book while being stranded, hmm, I might re-read any book of Robert Jordan or Brandon Sanderson. As to the answer of your other query, you CAN judge a person. But what's the point? Some people like literary fiction while some love thrillers. I love fantasy. In the end, anyone who loves reading is good company.

I hate that life is now so hectic, that there are simply no days when all you do is curl up in bed or maybe beside a window, and lose yourself in the yellowing pages of a book. Sigh.
I read "Blasphemy" by Tehmina Durrani a couple of mohts back completely. I even had a 2 day hangover from the story.
On a desert island, I would read Harry Potter. It has not only been the biggest part my childhood but also gives everybody faith. Anybody feeling low at any level can relate to it, irrespective of age.
Also, its really big and I would like to lose myself in the story till i get rescued :P
Yes, I judge people upon what they read. I can never see a friend in someone who reads only Chetan Bhagat.
Good Luck with the story! :)
