Been a bit stuck up with work for some days which explains the absence of new posts.
With a bit of time to kill today, I visited some of the second-hand bookstores around College Street. Brought home a 1965 edition of "The Oxford History of the American People" by Samuel Eliot Morison and a 1989 edition of the English translation of Shivaji Sawant's acclaimed "Mritunjaya".
Also found some old war comics which I promptly brought, about thirteen of them.
The entire loot cost an unbelieveble Rs.490.
Sawant's "Mritunjaya" was on my wishlist for a long, long time. So the acquisition today called for a celebration......what better place than the only bar near home which permits smoking.

awaiting book reviews :)
Each one of them is a veritable tome. The reviews will take some time.
Well Sujoy...even i picked some books this weekend. Went to the Bangalore Ramakrishna Mission and got some stuff on philosophy..4 books @ rs 81 only.......a good bargain like yours :)
Have you tried Khaled Hosseini's "The Kite Runner" and "A thousand splendid suns"..... Mosti be sujoy da...
Do write a post on "Mrityunjay" when you finish reading it. I'm reading Ondaatje's The English Patient now..so far it has been brilliant!
So what is your opinion about those books ?
Would you like to contribute to a social cause?

Whenever I go to College Street, I become very dreamy seeing all those book shops and wondering exactly how many books there can be in the whole of College Street at a time...
Enjoy your books and do share your opinion.:-)
I so adore College Street. I feel like a child every time I go there. And what's more, all my pocket money somehow manages to disappear ridiculously fast, once I've looked around a bit through the books everywhere. Btw, what's the update on the 'Varnaparichay' book mall thing ?
I have heard a lot of praise for Mrityunjay from my granny.. and very curious about the bar that permits smoking :)
