I want to read...

The last book I read was Ayn Rand's Atlas shrugged. The last to last book I read was Ayn Rand's Atlas shrugged. Did I wrote the same line again?


Atlas shrugged is the most influential book just after the bible.


It just happens sometimes that when you read a book which you really liked, you want to read it again. Not only this, if you read something which makes you feel that you were a part of it, you pause.

You cherish every moment of it;
you want to recall every moment of it;
You fear that if you read another book, it will make you lose the feeling which you had reading the earlier one.

Am I trapped? Do I get stuck with impeccable art in any form?

When I listen to music, I get trapped as well. I listen to the same track again and again but the irony being after such acts of madness, I still do not remember the lyrics.

I want to read The Bible, The Bhagwat Gita, The kuran, Godfather, We the living, Gitanjali, Papilon, autobiographies on Gandhi, Hitler, Kiran Bedi.

I know this life will not be sufficient to read such literature. When I will read one, another 10 will add to the list. And the list will go on....

It's time for me to add another 10 i guess....
