well, many of you might be knowing this one but still here it is :- The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they went along, they passed some people who remarked "it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding". The man and boy thought maybe the critics were...

currently reading a book by Irving Wallace havent finished it but i can safely say that he is in my dislike list

i have no idea about shipping charges and stuff anyways that would be too cumbersome. ill find a secondhand book in the streets somewhere:(

i always strive to finish any book that i read though there are a couple of exceptions "The Summons" by Grisham : it was hopeless some book by John Le Carre : his writing style was too much to digest it really irritates me if there are any books half read

went to buy The HItchhikers Guide yesterday .. havent read it yet and desperately want to.. but all the bookstores here sell only the entire series together and not just the first book! i guess ill have to buy a pirated version

u talking to moi? :confused: lol

Tolkien's books are tedious and long drawn agreed. but he has to be commended to create an entire world within three books that has swept the world of its feet. so i am not sure he is the author that anyone can 'hate'. and come on ..if you write 1000 pages of literature there has to something or...

yes its that one well at least you can say that the new title is more attractive. but take the case of "Murder is easy" being changed to "Easy to kill" even the meaning is same!! even those who havent read the book will agree that the change has no purpose. it is neither more illuminating...

thanks about that:D you've heard it before?????? aah of course i might have slipped it in one or the other of my press conferences;) more about "A Lesson before Dying"... i give an open challenge to anybody who reads the book and says that he didnot cry later

hi watercrystal and welcome to this forum. for making friends you have come to the right place. you will enjoy your stay here:)

yes it is the same book i understand this reason for changing the name of the book but otherwise i have observed that for no reason whatsoever the name is changed in the states. like "The Moving Finger" was renamed "Poison Pen". what was the sense in doing that? just for the heck of it?there...

lol :D i know that Sherlock is the most popular detective ever.but i personally have been unable to accept that the stories are possible.they are thrilling yes but the deductions are too farfetched and as i have said somewhere..every action can have a thousand consequences and so predictions...

has anyone read "A Lesson before dying" by Ernest Gaines? it is worth reading infinite times

yup sherlock books are for kids.senseless thrill. what differentiates Christie from other authors is the handling of the psychology...of the crime , murderer and the detective and considering it of prime importance. she gives more focus on how the detective found the truth and approaches the...

so who's your favourite detective? mine is Poirot ofcourse followed by Tommy-Tuppence. i dont like Jane Marple. did you know that Mrs Oliver was Christie's spoof on herself!! that just shows her sense of humour though i am sure she wasnt like Oliver and ....ahem .... any more agatha...
