Readd

Have resumed somewhat active reading this month - finished reading 2 books and in the process of finishing 2 others

> The Interpreter of Maladies - Was a good catalyst - easy prose, nice and distinct stories, but somehow Jhumpa Lahiri, manages to fill the reader with sadness. Every story has a disappointing end. Guess thats the way the Pulitzer Prize winner sees life!!

> A Collection of Short Stories of Saki - This was brilliant! Absolutely enticing...I have become a fan of Reginald


> Travels of A Genetically Modified Zone - Written by Professor Mark Winston -Its good to know about Genetic Modifications you see :))


> A House for Mr.Biswas - by V.S.Naipaul - I dont know why I like this,but I do! The prose at times seems too simple.. and the problems Mr.Biswas faces have been repeated innumerable times.. And I invariably doze off after reading about 10 pages, but I have resolved to complete this big 622 page book!!
