hi ppl...
the babe is back after a very long hiatus of time..!!
iam rewritin this blog since GOOGLE cranked up my earlier write up and it failed to register on my blog..!
i love reading.! it lets u open ur mind for imagination and lets ur creative juices flow..!
recently i have developed a passion of reading novels written by indian authors ( usually mid 20's aged ppl) and these are pure fiction with interesting stories, attention-grabbing titles and the pricing is apt for the student wallet.!
Such writers have a USP of writing in the colloquial language or slangs (as we call it)... we can easily identify with the characters and their apathy since they behave and talk just as we youngsters do in real life..!!
Ah... it feels gr8 reading abt all the Cuss words we use, the masti we do..the romance we feel/or wanna experience etc....
the writing makes u relax for the time being and gives u a sense of brotherhood as u see someone else( here the fictional character) undergoin the same situations as u are!!
From a marketing point of view, the publishers get more visibilty and business since these books cost less ( their Production cost will definitely be less), have an available market, and no need to host book tours of the authors etc..!!
book fanatics like me scrounge up bookstores on a regular basis to find more such books which gives u an easy read and value for ur money...
Such books are usually priced between 100-200.!
Second hand bookstores in bangalore (esp in MG road) gives u more variety of international authors at more or less same rates..
the bookstores are BOOKWORM ( shrungar shopping complex, MG rd) and Blossoms ( Opp Amoeba, church street)..!!
Some Indian authored books i would recommend are:
Almost single by advaitha kala.
Oh SHit! not again..
Of Course i love u till i find someone else..
Mediocre but arrogant and Married but available by abhijit bhaduri
Chip of the old block and so on...
FOr book lovers the must read books are
Kite Runner by khaled hosseini..
Thousand Splendid Suns by khaled hosseini
Tell me ur dreams by sidney sheldon..!!
i guess this much info is good enough..!!!
hope u enjoy reading my suggestions...
muaaahh !!

love khushi !
