smiley - ok Glad to help.
Have fun.

I don't think I've read anything in your list above (except for HHGTG of course smiley - winkeye) Do you generally read a specific type of book or will you devour anything that comes your way?

Hi there Metal Chicken!

Well I read anything which comes my way, depends on my mood. Some times I get averse to reading! If I read a biography then most probably next two three books will be biographies. If I read fiction then I will read fiction for another month. Though, our personal library is full of non fiction books. How to....;, management books, books on alternate therapies, books on physical and mental health etc. (I hope to read them all some day *sigh*)

My favourite subjects are human behaviour and Psychology.
I also consider length of the book before I choose one! ( I started Charles Dickens-David copperfield 5 months ago, and I am on page 145 since then smiley - sadface)

R. K Narayan, Richard Bach, Edward De Bono, Prem Chand (Hindi Literature) are some of my favourite authors. I read Hindi literature as well.

Midnight's Children (Salman Rushdi), Love Story ( Eric Segal), The walled City (Esther David), Discovery of Time (Stephen Hockings) are some of my favourite bookssmiley - wow
What about you? What are you reading these days? I finished 'Thinking Course' by De Bono last week. smiley - cool

smiley - cheers
