Books that I loved to read or will not forget...listed in random order.

The Da Vinci Code

by Dan Brown

From the moment I started reading this book, I could not put it down...I especially enjoyed reading the facts since it was written in such an interesting way. I was extremely disappointed about the movie, though...

Animal Farm

by George Orwell

First the pigs want a revolution... they want a farm for themselves... but later the pigs turn out to behave just like their human owners... The author had creatively wrote about socialism...and corruption.

If it wasn't for my English teacher in lower secondary, I probably would have missed out on reading this wonderful book.

Carpe Jugulum

by Terry Pratchett

Vampyres! Loosely translated, the title means, seize the throat. Vampyres are disgusted with wine. How can anyone drink that disgustingly vile drink when they can drink blood? Or so they seem to think... they are not the regular vampyres whom are afraid of garlic... no siree... they seem to have acquired a taste for garlic... And the young male vampyre named Vlad is so handsome and dangerous... he seems to be able to read everyone's mind...except for Agnes Nitt's mind. Maybe because she has a split personality named Perdita who has a mind of her own! Being rather intrigued by Agnes, Vlad is seriously trying to woo her... hmmm... How do you say no to a handsome vampire?

I always see attractive males going after not-so-attractive females... now I know why...

These Happy Golden Years

by Laura Ingalls Wilder

In this book Laura starts work as a teacher and has to deal with a difficult student. I read this book a very long time ago... before I became a teacher myself. Even back then I was amazed at the way Laura handled her student. I must admit... I have used her methods and it works! I guess students haven't changed much over time.

Laura experiences extreme homesickness, especially since she has to live with strangers. However, Almanzo comes to her
rescue during the weekends and takes her home in his sleigh... even during the hard winter... how romantic!

Window To My Heart: Reflections of a Single Woman

by Joy Hawkins

This books has been written in such a lovely way that everyone who is single or was single can relate to it... Even having dinner can be torture for the single woman... yes, I can relate to this book, for I too am single, and there is much to be rejoicing about. Thank God.

Wyrd Sisters

by Terry Pratchett

On the Discworld, three witches find themselves dealing with a huge problem...the new king does not show any respect to them! Granny is upset. She needs to right what's wrong. Nanny... well, she'll just go along with Granny for the adventure... And Magrat... she needs to wash her hair each time the court jester wants to take her out... I laughed out loud reading this book... Terry Pratchett knows how a woman thinks... after reading this book, I know how a man thinks!

Witches Abroad

by Terry Pratchett

Magrat has said no to the court jester who has become king... hmmm, but did she mean it? Anyway, she has bigger things to worry about. She has to be fairygod mother to someone living in a foreign land. Unfortunately, being the youngest witch, she isn't allowed to go abroad without Granny and Nanny... and what an adventure they have! I especially loved the way a frog-like creature said that it was its birthday and tried to get into their boat...

The Color Purple

by Alice Walker

Such a sad story. I could not put this book down. Since I read this book, while studying about globalisation, I couldn't help but feel a lot of grief.
