Self tagging.....and the joys of asymmetric posts..

These long breaks from blogging have almost become a habit now...somehow I find it extremely hard to come up with sane topics to post on...what do I talk about?the most exciting that happens to me is a mass bunk in college(some might think it IS excting....for effective mass bunk latch the classroom door so that the cowardly student crowd hesitates to open it and the teachers are stuck by the finality of the act ;)) and life just rolls on from day to day.......

As i am shameful and desperately short of topics...I shall do the unthinkable and tag myself(claps and the WWF eh?).... it is a tag on books....here goes...
1. One book that changed your life?
Midnight's Children by Rushdie it shook me up and turned me around..read it during the hols after my first year..what incredible word play! what convoluted twists and turns! and the endearing part is the humaness of the characters and the one of the most brilliant endings I have ever read....seriously. go grab a copy and read it right now.even the Gold edition from your local Crosswords will do...
2. One book you have read more than once?
The House of Mr. Biswas by V.S Naipaul
brilliant.funny.moving.
3.One book you would want on a desert island?
How to kill and eat rodents the Maori way? naah...
4.One book that made you cry?
Microwave Engineering by Das&Das it not only made me cry but also grovel in the dust thrashing my fists to the ground.They should have a huge bonfire to burn unpalatable engineering textbooks and also kidnap the authors and push them down a cliff.

5.One book that made you laugh?
All of P.G wodehouse's work and also The Dilbert Principle by Scott Adams
6.One book you wish had been written?
How to deal with corrupt Indian govt. offcials with your ethical framework intact :-)
7.One book you wish had never been written?
none actually....maybe all those Dan Brown books which cause unecessary ruckus and turn out to be untruthful in the end....
8. One book you are currently reading?
Godel,Escher,Bach:An eternal golden braid...actually been reading/trying to read this for the past 3 or so months....
9.One book you have been meaning to read?
Ulysses--- James Joyce ;-)
10.Tag five people.
anyone reading this can consider themselves tagged.....
