Beena while since I read your blog. Saw ...Hi Lee,<br /><br />Beena while since I read your blog. Saw the post on graphic novels and couldnt stop myself from commenting :)<br /><br />Sandman;s great...read the whole series! But a loose thread in Book 3 regarding Lucifer is picked up by Mike Carey in his own series Lucifer which is absolutely amazing!! Pick that up if you get the chance...<br /><br />Eat Pray Love...Loved Italy...found India too slow and boring..currently on Bali :)<br /><br />No 8, LXG has a sequel...your picture is just Book 1. <br /><br />If you liked Ronin, you might like some of Frank Millers other works most notably Dark Knight returns (Christian bale couldnt truly do justice), Sin City and 300 (which are very accurately depicted in the movies) .<br /><br />100 Bullets is part of a much larger story arc - Book 1-2 are all similar, but after that the story really starts tying together.<br /><br />If outliers was your first Malcolm Gladwell, read his previous books...dont read his altest ie what the dog saw...i found it too arbid...then again i found hitchhikers guide also too arbid for my taste <br /><br />All for now.<br /><br />Cheers<br />RohanRohanhttp://wolfofarabia.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048610246982858152.post-86478934947686727682010-01-21T20:30:53.572+04:002010-01-21T20:30:53.572+04:00Well Kari, Half of a yellow sun and Persepolis mat...Well Kari, Half of a yellow sun and Persepolis match. Haven't read the rest. Loved Persepolis so must get my hands on Embroideries. And I'm so glad to see you writing rather regularly these days :)Hornswogglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803053327766710838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048610246982858152.post-68594861363405713322010-01-06T19:56:55.925+04:002010-01-06T19:56:55.925+04:00Kaa: Have just finished Book One of the Sandman se...<b>Kaa</b>: Have just finished Book One of the Sandman series. Very impressed. I happened to browse through the Lucifer series at Landmark recently. Looked good, thanks for the reco. <br /><br />Btw, I don't read Malayalam. I couldn't find the English cover for 'My Story', so I put the Malayalam one instead. I can imagine the writing's more beautiful in the original language. <br /><br /><b>Sonia</b>: Well, some of them from Magrudy's, but most of the graphic novels from friends. In fact, most of the books I read last year were pillaged from friend's collection. And this despite having a sizeable collection of my own. Hmm... I wonder why :-)<br /><br /><b>Janaki </b>: Thanks for the long comment. You're quite right about 'enablers'. I like to think of them as companions and messengers. I've seen Liz Gilber on Ted. Loved it. In fact that's what got me to read her in the first place. Do come by again.Leelahttp://absoluteleela.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048610246982858152.post-20114453986743837142010-01-04T13:45:10.286+04:002010-01-04T13:45:10.286+04:00Most impressive that baptism :)

You prolly already know this.. but felt something similar last year, albeit without the book. Though read this book last year only.<br />Sorry for the long comment, but do see her (elizabeth gilbert's) video on ted.com. Quite eye-opening and better than her book.

Of course, I don't read all that much, so I've not heard of any of the books you've talked abt (other than Persepolis and Coraline, only cos of the movies, the latter which i haven't seen yet!) Don't tell me you got these at Magrudy's?Soniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184341166759324701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048610246982858152.post-75190719252729456492009-12-31T15:18:29.783+04:002009-12-31T15:18:29.783+04:00I am a niel gaiman fan too :). have read most issu...I am a niel gaiman fan too :). have read most issues of the Lucifer series. sandman's next on the list.<br /><br />also want to start reading malayalam lit.. big problem is the very limited vocabulary. can't understand half the words in a proper song.kaahttp://rega.innoreply@blogger.com
