Between Then and Now

If my blog was a reference to the number of books I read, it may be inferred that I hardly ever read as my last post was almost a year ago I think. Between then and now I have read a lot of interesting things but unfortunately did not care enough to post. I have made a promise to myself that I will keep this blog   up-to-date. Also, before I started writing this blog, I have read a lot of wonderful work- so much that I cannot even recall what from the top of my head. It is only when I go to bookstores/fairs or look at my own collection or even browse Flipkart that I realise how much I have read in the past. 

Anyway, some of the books that I read between the last time I wrote and now:

- Katherine Mansfield: The Garden Party and other stories
- Sachin Garg: Comeon Inner Peace, I ain't got all day
- P.G. Wodehouse: The Girl in Blue
- Jeffrey Archer: Quiver Full of Arrows
- Agatha Christie: The Caribbean Mystery
- Agatha Christie: Thirteen Problems

In addition I have started reading some books but have not been able to complete:

- Steve Jobs' autobiography
- Jaya

I am currently reading an interesting book called Drop Dead by Swati Kaushal.

I intend to update my blog with my thoughts on all of the above books (except of course, the ones I have not finished reading).

What I also did for a large part of last year since I wrote my last blog post is, watch a lot of televised/dramatised versions of some of my favourite books. Some were very good adaptations, some ordinary and some below ordinary. Irrespective of the quality of the adaptations, I loved to see my favourite books and characters come to life. 

So much for now. I will update this blog soon as promised.
