This is something that I've had to do under duress, so here it is :)

The Books You’ve Been Planning To Read For Ages: That usually doesn't happen. But there's a book on Classical Renaissance Tradition that I'm dying to read. There's also another one about the Naxalite movement by this revolutionary called Ajitha

The Books You’ve Been Hunting For Years Without Success: There was this one kiddy book called "The lucky coin". I didn't read it, but it was onee of those pop-up books that I saw at a bookstore. I've been looking for it ever since,but I've been unlucky.

The Books Dealing with Something You’re Working on at the Moment: The Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh deals with the Opium trade.It's very interesting and Historical Fiction really interests me. The other book that is very good is the Enchantress of Florence.It ties up history,literature,art and etymology,all in one book.
The Books You Want To Own So They’ll Be Handy Just In Case: Any book that I'd want to read for a second time. I even photocopy rare books that I can't find in a bookstore

The Books You Could Put Aside Maybe To Read This Summer: Summer's gone. I read a lot of travelogues this summer,though.

The Books You Need To Go With Other Books On Your Shelves: Everything I can lay my hands on.Any reading material. I'd love to own the Mad Magazines and Punch.

The Books That Fill You With Sudden, Inexplicable Curiosity, Not Easily Justified: Psychological Thrillers,Romances,Graphic Novels.

The Books That If You Had More Than One Life You Would Certainly Also Read But Unfortunately Your Days Are Numbered: I think this is a baseless question.
Books Read Long Ago That It’s Now Time To Reread:All the Blytons.

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind...   Anyway, let us look at some facts -  Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself.

But what I felt wasn't true and I'd never known that trait of hers which never matched mine had such a reason behind it. She never liked to talk or be familiar to the opposite sex. I found this irritating but I just used to remember all her other traits which brought her close to me and made her one of the closest beings to me on this Earth. As she and I had got very close in friendship that we began sharing secrets which we never thought would come out of our mind. And I thought I understood her as I thought she was me. Then one day as we were alone in my room I asked her why she was so unfamiliar and irritat
