So these days I'm always in the mood to read. I haven't felt like this in a long long time. There was a time when you'd always see me with a book attached to my face. Then I guess all that went away when I succumbed to bad TV and the internet *sigh* but not anymore. These days when I see a book my fingers always get a little itchy and I can feel the stirrings of interest that is purely involuntary and it's not something I have to generate. So the other day I went to Bookworm with I (who I am so so happy is going to be in Bangalore) and I died. I was flat broke and there were so many books I wanted to buy. Still, with barely any money in my pocket or in my account(sob! sob!) I bought Murder At The Vicarage by Agatha Christie(I'm obsessed all over again. Someone stop me! Bought a Pocket Full Of Rye only two days later) and The Delta of Venus by Anaïs Nin-this will be my first Anaïs Nin, I've been reading up on her and I find her fascinating. And this will be my first dive into apparently good erotica. Okay now getting to my list:
1. Crooked House by Agatha Christie
2. A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
3. The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood
Ok not much of a list-:s. But still, of the three the first one is going to be very hard to find. I combed through Landmark yesterday and I couldn't find it anywhere. Come to think of it I've never seen it in a bookstore. It's probably her creepiest yet and I searched for it with a desperation that I think creeped out poor I.
By the way, did you know creeped wasn't a word? Apparently I've been taking gross liberties with this language.
LOL! Lemme know when we can go book hunting again. Went to Landmark yesterday, and ended up going to the Agatha Christie section. :O
