असंच!

Ok, so without the self knowing what this tagging business is, Ajit has "tagged" me which probably means writing some stuff on your blog. If thats that, thats that, what!! I mean, if your friend asks you to write something, you write. Besides, since it is about books, I dont mind writing about it.

Number of books I own:
Easily 150+ and if you want to include technical books also, add another 100 or so.

The Last Book I Read (and Bought) :
The last one I bought, but not read yet is "Pigs have Wings - P.G Wodehouse".
The last one I read is:
A pelican at Blandings - P. G. Wodehouse - A fantastic blandings story with Lords Emsworth at his best.


Books That Mean A Lot to Me :

असा मी असा मी, बटाट्याची चाळ, हसवणुक इ. इ. - पु. ल. देशपांडे
सामन्य माणसाबद्दलचं असामान्य पुस्तकं. स्वतःवर कसं हसावं हे मी या पुस्तकांतुन शिकलो. इतरांना हसवण्याची इच्छा असेल तर स्वतःवर हसता येणं फार महत्वाचं असतं (हे कोणीही न वितारता पण सांगतो आहे, काय करणार, जित्याची खोड ... ).

महानायक - विश्वास पाटील
अतिशय प्रेरणादायी पुस्तक.

The Complete Collection of Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arther Conan Doyle
No doubt, a masterpiece. I can write a lot about this, but this is not the place, probably THIS has some more things.

Illusions - Richard Bach
I read this one because someone told me that one of my marathi plays at Puruhottam Karandak, "Limit" resembled this book. After reading it, I found out that this "someone" had neither understood the book nor my play, because only such a guy might find slightest resemblence between the two. Still, I thank him for suggesting me the book. This and other books by Richard Bach no doubt helped me understand what Imagination is.

Mating Season - P.G Wodehouse
The first one of all the PGWs I have read. It was a wonderful start to my journey through the PGWs that still continues.

Books I wish I had completed (and plan to complete) :

झेंडुची फुले - आचार्य अत्रे
झाडाझडती - विश्वास पाटील
The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand

People I am tagging :
Not many left, probably Anya, Alok.
