Novels-My Passion

U might b wondering how people can be passionate about books,but,in my case,novels are my passion,I love them.I've always been a voracious reader.
This hobby of mine started in early days of schooling where I used to read comics like Pinky,Chacha Chowdary,Tinkle etc.Especially ,I used to associate myself with the character 'Pinky' n have read almost the entire pinky series.I used to tell those stories to my sister,Ragini and she used to love them.I even wanted to have a baby cut hair style with different colour hair bands like pinky but my mom didnt agree to it :-D..I wasn't a good student then and all I ever did then was read comics,story books like champak,bed time stories, other little stories and had one of them in my school bag too.I remember reading 'Ramayana for children' 20 times..... As I came to high school,we had non-detailed books in english like Trojan war,Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,Great Expectations,The Hound of the Baskervilles,Treasure Island.I used to read all these books in the summer holidays which meant the non-detailed classes in school were spent re-reading them.I remember in class 10, my best friend,Sreedevi and me were Dr.Watson and Sherlock Holmes of our group.. :-D ..
We also wanted to run a detective agency ..we were so childish then.. :-D.


My mother had original versions of the books Pride and Prejudice ,David Copperfield and many other books and I was lucky to read them all...The characters in these books were like real-life ones and were very interesting..We even got first prize in a drama competition in our school for enacting 'Happy Painter' from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.Then came the Harry Potter series which are probably my favorite books so far..Hatsoff to J.K.Rowling whose imagination is beyond anyone's expectations..At a point of time,I was so much addicted to these books that all I did the whole day was reading them..Similarly,I also like the Twilight series,Nancy Drew,Famous Five series and Dan Brown's works..The book 'Men are from Mars,Women are from Venus' is very informative and I suggest everyone to read it..Books by our Indian authors like Rabindranath
Tagore,Sharathchandra,R.K.Narayan,Chetan Bhagat are great.. My only remorse is that I've not been able to complete 'The Fountainhead' and will definitely do it one of these days..

Novels have always been my best chums because whenever I feel lonely or moody ,I just read one of them and easily forget my worries.They keep me busy all the time and are my obsession.Novels not only give interesting stuff to read but also good messages to the readers.You can always learn something very useful in terms of behavior,society,feelings and what not,everything..My dream is to have my own library and will definitely achieve it :) ...
