It was a blogger's block again.... Couldn't blog anything solid for months....May be it was a work and not getting enough time, somehow i thought the writer in part has disappeared....
Then came the books... it was one of those sunday shopping in CP, i came across this book 'the perks of being a wallflower' in book store... I didnt like the movie much even with good reviews and all... I thought i will give the book a try.... From CP to the home, i started reading the book.... the writing style was different and i could make this connection to my own writing.... Letter writing more... I write in that mode.... it took only 5 hrs to finish the entire book....
That was the beginning.... the book-list in the novel was motivating... i made a list for myself as well... inclusive of all the classic i missed reading in my young days.... Then started the book ordering process.... so far finished reading:
The great Gatsby
The catcher in the rye
The Bell jar
In my self, waiting to be read:
One hundred years of solitude
This side of the paradise
Walden
Lord of the flies
There will be more books to the self soon... But this practice is making me feel better.... No more worried about the blogger's block... because i equally enjoy reading... one thing i was missing whole 10 years in academics....
When in university, as a student, you spent all your class/work time in class/lab... so the rest of the time was always spent outdoors... I never got time, to sit in room with a novel....
So here is the time, here is the opportunity to be a bookworm.... and there is no better feeling than the moment you finish a book and take another one...
