I have become a typical behenji :-)I know of the latest malls, eating joints, current lipstick shades,sale kahan lagi ahi... but nothing about literature.But who cares if the packaging is good? Mera koi ilaz hai? Jaroorat kya hai? People are comfortable with my type of intellectually challenged behenjis.:-)So tumhari ye post samajh mei hi nahi aayi? Tell me if is it "in thing" to talk about? Then I will pretend to understand it. :-)Alkahttp://www.alkadwivedi.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508468.post-19181595717525894402008-07-04T22:34:00.000-05:002008-07-04T22:34:00.000-05:00Interesting list, and even more interesting to see Oliver from Love Story finding a mention...since you mostly turn yr nose up at that kind of stuff, like any other self respecting guy. Love story became one of my fave novels, not because of the story itsel but because of the fact that it was presented in such a matter of fact, every day kind of narrative that touched the heart!<BR/><BR/>SkyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508468.post-27843887789857326582008-07-04T15:42:00.000-05:002008-07-04T15:42:00.000-05:00Hi...Sorry to bother you, but when I tried to implement a theme from finalsense I couldn't get comment right on my blog...Can you help me with it.Aniruddhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15354801004064846120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508468.post-1740574622223822992008-07-04T12:14:00.000-05:002008-07-04T12:14:00.000-05:00<B>Indian home maker</B>, actually, John Galt and Howard Roark and pretty much most of the hi-fi characters in Ayn Rand's novels are too good to be true: they are like an unassailable benchmark. Haven't read 'A Thousand Splendid Suns', on my to-read list :) And <A HREF="http://www.vedicbooks.net/meghnad-badh-kavya-or-the-fall-of-meghnad-p-11964.html" REL="nofollow">Meghnad Badh Kabya</A> is available in English there -- you might want to buy it if you are so inclined.<BR/><BR/><B>Mampi</B>, hey, welcome onboard! Bluntschli handsomer than what Shaw portrayed? Hmm... somebody has a crush! :D Well, to be honest, I would've loved reading the biography of Captain Bluntschli, if there was one! :)Sudipta Chatterjeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11179666209066615252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508468.post-58047156920131034702008-07-04T11:59:00.000-05:002008-07-04T11:59:00.000-05:00Really good list<BR/>Atticus is one of my favorites too.

He was a County Court judge in the mid 90s in England and he wrote quite a lot of legal humour as well as off-beat crime novels.harihttp://hari.literaryforums.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508468.post-58313459423604486262008-07-02T13:58:00.000-05:002008-07-02T13:58:00.000-05:00how could you miss ANY character from catch 22? my respect for you just plummeted. in the downward direction. :(Galadrielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06059710077129271553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508468.post-45706105681813636762008-07-02T11:31:00.000-05:002008-07-02T11:31:00.000-05:00How could you miss Marvin the Paranoid Android?? :)Harshdeephttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14233469481931236623noreply@blogger.com
