The last book that i tried to read was in the month of January and it was TWILIGHT. I just could not manage to read more than 25 pages of the book and feel really sorry for myself.
The books that i enjoyed the most in the past were :
DAN BROWN series.
I simply loved all the books
Digital Fotress
Angels and Demons
Deception Point
The Da Vinci Code
However it is come into my knowledge that Dan Brown would is about to complete another novel " THE LOST SYMBOL"
which is based on the Solomon key. Sounds interesting to me. However this book again would have rituals and practices and beliefs in regards to self harm and harm to others. Well desperately waiting for the 15th of September 2009 when this book is expected for release.
What is your reaction to making movies that are inspired from books?
I think they are wonderful, until and unless they are made in the right spirit.
As a spectator i love these kind of movies only when i have not read the books.
That is, as a reader i hate these movies.
The Da Vinci Code, was a good movie, but dark and i think somewhere down the line, the movie makers have not made justice to the book.
On the other hand i loved the Harry Potter series, though i have not read a single book from the series.
I love the characters and the plot.
I think my opinion would change once i read the book. As most of my friends who have read the book and watched the movie find that the book was a thousand times better and the movie could no where match it.
But for a person like me reading all the books from the series would be monotonous at this time, especially keeping all the work and study in mind. So i would go for a movie, than the book.
What is your take on such issues ??

Hi Priya....
hmmm... interesting thought... glad that you expressed it... well...i follow the rule that if you read the book dont see the movie... especially books like 'the Godfather' by mario puzo are an awesome read....but when it comes to movie....all things are altered to fit the audience need and time slot.... which i think is good for those who are not used to reading books...but who are interested in reading...forget the movie...go ahead with the book...it will be more exciting...
I completely agree with you.. :)
Twilight is a good book... it gives a whole new perspective of vampires... I finished "Twilight" and "New Moon".. two more to read... "Eclipse" and "Breaking Dawn"... Dan Brown series are abso-bloody-lutely awesome.. no doubt abt it... I suggest u to read Maupassants short stories... He brings out the true escense of life is every story... Some are simply superb like Useless beauty... Then there is the "Midnight's Children" by Salman Rushdie.. The white tiger... "inheritance of loss" by Kiran desai... Well lot more... I discover a completely new world when i'm reading.. a world from which i never wanna come out of:) Just a lil effort and out of facebook, u'll discover it too...
Yeah that is so true..
But i just dun have the perfect lighting system in my house. Its more like the 40 volt bulbs attached to 20 feet high ceiling !! Ummmm what could i expect from a old queenslander house !! i would surely be reading solomon's key by Dan brown in the same room in about 15 days or so!! dying to hold the book in my hands! it better be good :)
Hmmm... with ur description of your room the first thing that came to my mind was the railway tunnel... hehe... anyways... After reading give the review.. :)
