EXCERPT FROM THE EMAIL
START OF EXCERPT
**************************
Here goes the book list
I went and scavenged around in my old book boxes, and fished out
Guy de Maupassant-
100 best short storiesI am a great fan of Guy.very delicately written stories.If you haven't already read him, i would suggest you pick up any work of his and you won't be disappointed
Ofcourse this other book , W.Somerset Maugham Selected short stories vol 1 and 2 have been lying around my living room table for a year now..I am trying to read some of it.
I was scouring around my old book collection, came across ,
Collected works of D.H.Lawrence...
I think i finished reading it once while i was in med school.Will try and read it again.I cannot believe that i must have around 100 books just from the time of four years during med school.*************************
END OF EXCERPT
MY 2012 POSTNOTE for the blog!!!
OKAY,SO in 2008 I GaVE HIM ADVICE ON THE BOOKS he must read.But back then, he was so buSy, drinking and partying and being a LOST confused person, ofcourse he never read any of the books I SUGGESTED..I don't think he read any of the above books even later either...hmmmmm...and I am thinking, he really doesn't take my advice on ANYTHING,,at all.whatever
Speaking of reading books,I am such a voracious reader, I HAVE lots and lots of books at my parents home as part of my PERSONAL LIBRARY.I HAVE NEATLY CATOLOGUED THEM TOO.
After I LEFT home for med school, again, during the course of med school, if i got bored or scared , i would go buy some books and the finish reading them in a week or less.That reading spree left me with MORE LOTS AND LOTS OF BOOKS.
it is only after my med school, that PROJECT GUTENBERG, allowed me to have access to E BOOKS..much before kindle and other such e readers appeared in the market.I DON'T OWN AN EBOOK READERS, I HAVEN'T BOUGHT DIGITAL BOOKS.don't like that format.And now, I JUST READ BLOGS...lol..BLOGS ARE JUST SELF PUBLISHED UNEDITED BOOKS, if you ask me..much better than actually publisher published books .
anyways,sigh,moving on,
