Prints

Books books books. New ones, old ones, really cheap ones, not-so-cheap ones, bought-with-my-own-dough ones, mommy-gifted ones, scrounging-in-the-footpath ones, discovered-amidst-trash ones, wanted-to-buy-forever ones, pretentious-(perhaps)-but-i-dont-care ones, hoping-it-will-be-good ones.
These are it.

Brand new ones-
  • No Exit and Three Other Plays: Jean-Paul Sartre
  • The Sound and the Fury: Faulkner

Discovered amidst trash-

  • Four Plays: Tennessee Williams
  • Men Without Women- Hemmingway

Scrounged from the footpath, but brand new with amazing bargains-

  • Tintin and The Calculus Affair
  • Tintin and The Castafiore Emerald

Books still waiting to be finished- (Sigh!)

  • Snow: Orhan Pamuk
  • Tough Guys Don't Dance: Norman Mailer
  • Jude the Obscure: Hardy
  • Women in Love- D.H. Lawrence

Books I suddenly want to read again, this instant-

  • The Colour Purple: Alice Walker
  • Beloved: Toni Morrison
  • Feluda: Ray
  • Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Roald Dahl
  • Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man: Joyce

Books I saw and wanted to buy and couldnt because of the guilt and no money-

  • Endless, exhaustive and extensive.

Dear God, in my next life, make me a book. Its so much easier (and faster) to read people.
