Favourite Books

I love reading books. Not that I am a voracious reader. I just enjoy reading.
I would like to share the titles of a few books that impressed me.
Summer of Katya - By Trevanian. This is a very sensitive novel. Please read it now(I am going to repeat this sentence regularly. So just so as not to irritate you, I will use my own acronym- PRIN !! Bear with me)
The Last Frontier - Alistaire Maclean
Ice Station Zebra - "
Canon Doyle -- I love all his works. The most famous are of course the Sherlock Holmes series, known throughout the world. But Sir Arthur has written other books also, like "Tales of Terror", "Tales of Mystery" and so on. He has also written historical novels. 'Duet', 'Lost Island' are very good.(PRIN)
James Hadley Chase
HE is a writer after my own heart. Don't read one or two of his thrillers. JUST READ ALL THE EIGHTY-ODD OF THEM!!
The Bourne Identity
The Chancellor Manuscript
The Materese Circle
The Road to Omaha
All by the great Robert Ludlum, the master thriller writer

Bizaare news

Sometimes we across very bizaare news. Perpend
3.9.08, Prajavani(Soth Indian , Kannada newspaper)
It seems one old person in north Karnataka was obssessed with god. His ferv0r reached to such a depth that HE PLUCKED OUT ONE EYE and offered it to god !!!!
He was admitted to hospital and all that.
Oh boy, while in the hospital he was overcome with another wave of devotion and HE PLUCKED OUT HIS OTHER EYE ALSO with his bare hands...
I simple cannot add any comment to this !!

2) 1 st Ooctober, 2008- From Prajavani, Soth Indian Newspaper.

They have spotted two WHITE crows at Srirangapattana, a town around 12 km from Mysore

I guess that is a raere event !! Maybe ornithologist are familair with white crows, but for the common, it is rare.
