Hi
I was brought up with tons of book to read as both my father and mother were very fond of reading..we even had a room full of books in my native house in India...still do..but somewhere down the line I just lost the time to read and got other "important" things
to take over that time.
I discovered this list through a friend of mine who I had met only once here in Zurich, and am ever so thankful to her for rekindling the passion.
Now, I just want to read and read and read all the time and share the love of reading and books with all who have also gotten lost in the "important things" in life!
A book is the best companion you have in life, it doesnt ask for much except that its pages be turned from front to end with interest and tenderness!
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK FOR ANY OF THE BOOKS ON MY AVL OR PC SHELVES, I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO SHARE THEM.
