I didn't read any thing but electronics/OS books for last few years.
Then just to see what all the fuss was about I bought 2 quantum physics books.
After visiting Muneya's thread "What are you reading" few times, I had urge to read some thing different.
I bought this book, written by a 90 year old women(dead now).
Name "Brenda Ueland".. I swear I never read such a book in my life... I usually go through books so fast, that upon reading sec time It feels as I am reading it for first time.
But with this book, I have been reading lines and paragraphs over and over .. just wow...
She spoke... about other authors.. about art and spirit... other ppls paragraphs..
Tendencies toward art...
Problem is this books is small, I am at page 122, only 30 pages left 
I am sad that its going to end.
Now some one (Muneya) needs to find me a similar book to read..And that too very fast...
Book should not be total fiction but talk about real ppl... ordinary ppl...or not so ordinary ppl...

hawww
my baddd deary I didnt see this thread in time.
Acha so are you done with it?
Let me go look for another.
But I think you should read Shantaram --- one of the characters in it reminds me of you.
Read it and try to guess which one.
