Though it can be challenging, reading is the most relaxing thing in the world for me. So I try to squeeze in reading whenever I can. <br /><br />Since you work most of the time with computers, why don't you try e-books? It can never replace paperbacks and hard bounds, but if you are time constrained, then I think it should work out better. Yes, I absolutely LOVE Ahern. Got all her books :)Aathirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048064214070902294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026821776804720213.post-40624482911009294542014-12-04T22:21:52.325+04:002014-12-04T22:21:52.325+04:00Thanks Anita!

Ashamed to admit that I'm yet to pick it up. Shall do it soon. <br /><br />Arundhati Roy's God of small things is a book that I read way back in school. Somehow, it didn't appeal too much to me then. Shall give Basheer a try once I'm sure that I shall finish the couple of malayalam books I have.

I almost feel like an alumnus of St. Clare's and Malory Towers. I haven't tasted chick-lit. May be its time to get out of my comfort zone and explore romance and chicklit. Keep reading girl, and inspiring others to read too :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310621835457260695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026821776804720213.post-90873744516094963552014-12-02T09:25:46.810+04:002014-12-02T09:25:46.810+04:00I admire you a lot for being such an avid reader, ...I admire you a lot for being such an avid reader, Aathira. I must admit that I haven't read a good book in the recent past. It is shameful and embarassing to say it. Noone is too busy to read, so I am not saying that I am busy. But whenever I read, I make sure I read feel good stuff. I have read most of Sophie Kinsella's work. A Jeffrey Archer book Cat O'Nine Tales is halfway through, few others are on the shelf and thats it. I read all blogs I follow and some good news blogs everyday at office. But your list here is really good, Cecilia Ahern is again a favorite of mine. I cried through her book 'P.S I love You'. Not many writers can make the reader feel with the protagonist.
