My Favorite List—Books

I love to read and there are some books that I would to re-read at all times.


A Tale of Two Cities:  I was introduced to this book in high school and how I loved it! I was studying French in school and the French Revolution from this novel added the much zing to the subject.

The Adventures of Oliver Twist: I received this book as a birthday gift. Charles Dickens has been my favorite writer since then. I remember being brought to tears as I read the account of this poor orphan.

Pride and Prejudice: Yeah, a book many folks love to hate. I came across this book in high school. I enjoyed reading this novel and it was the beginning of many Jane Austen series.

Jane Eyre: This book by far all means is my favorite. Dunno why, but I quite like the story and the suspense it contains.

I think, I’ll stop here. What are some of your favorite books?

Books and holidays


Watched 'Little women" yesterday with my sis and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Read the book when i was in school and it's always a different experience when you watch these characters come alive on screen! I would want to read the book again and relive the moments!! In school I would be so lost in these stories and so content living their lives and being a part of their experience.

I never had a care in the world. At school I would wait for lunch break so that I could exchange my book in the library for another. Those were the days!! In fact even during my summer vacations, my father would get books from the city library and just the sight of those books would get me so ecstatic!!

So much has changed now! I only get to read when I am at home or I am down with a bug....Sheesh!!! How I miss those good ol' days
