Well..well am on this long holiday which actually never seems to end. Hmmm...might sound like FUN. But it is NOT. I've got nothing to do. Some might be delighted by it. But after weeks and weeks of nothing u somehow tend to get bored.
So..there I am all bored up from the excessive music that I listen to throughout the day, first thing in the morning and last thing before going to sleep. I've finished up all the new movies on rent. I'm done by roaming around with friends, there aren't new places anymore. So heck am BORED UP.

To divert my mind. I plan to indulge into some of the MOST FAMOUS books which I've never read...and some Books which aren't famous or even heard of but are just great in their own respect.

Most of the time am the "summer novels" kinda person. Gobbling up through the whole "easy to read" ones. From the likes of Stephen King's works to the likes of The Da Vinci Code. All nice and easy to read. The kinds which you can understand even with your half-eyes shut.

This holidays anyhow am trying out for the literary greats...the ones that I often slept through. Anyhow...I planned why not to read stuffs that people have been talking about since decades. The ones that have in some ways remained as benchmarks in terms of literature.

So there I was in the library with this list of books that I've said to myself that I would read. It contained of the likes of Faulkner, Brontes and McEwans.

I got a few but I think they are a great start:
1.Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte.
2.Wuthering height - Emily Bronte.
3.The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
4.Collected works of William Faulkner.
5.Amsterdam - Ian McEwan

Well..and theres this another book which is quiet very interesting. Its a translated book. The actual is in German. But no matter what, the translation is great. And the story just remain in your mind. Its a delightful read. Bernhard Schlink's "The Reader" translated by Carol Brown Janeway. An amazing book in its own respect.Its both compelling with sprinkle of humor in it. Its mainly of the connections between Germany's past and present and mainly of the relationship between the narrator and an older woman. Interesting though

Other ones that I've finished are "Man and Boy" by Tony Parsons which was a delightful book.

I loved Martin Amis's "The Rachel Papers".

And the one am on verge of finishing is "The Rule of Four" by Ian Caldwell & Dustin Thomason, its kinda like the GEEK version of Da Vinci Code. Where two highly intelligent guys Paul and Tom are on the verge of uncovering a deadly secret of a very Old book. Its a bit "intelligent" but interesting none the less.

Now lets see if I can finish up the listed 5 books above. I'd start with 'the great gatsby' and will end it up with a Bronte.

heh..Happy readin' people.
If there are some great books which you recommend are an absolute must and which can just catch your all attention then please mention 'em.
Am off to read now..
