the minute i stepped into the bookstore i was enthralled... i didnt know where to look... should i move towards my left?? or right?? or shall i go diagonally opposite???... oh everywhere there was something new... something different...
it reminded me of the chocolate house i used to dream of when i was a kid... reminded me of hansel n gretel... n their chocolate house... i used to dream of a house like that... chocolates everywhere... dairy milk... 5 star.. kit kat (at that time they werent available in india.. so had to rely on my aunt who'd get them for me from dubai).. double decker.. toffees.. cakes.. pastries.. n of coz i couldnt have forgotten gems...
what a fantasy!!!... books as well as chocolates... ones got twists n the others got taste...
take for example some of my favourite books...
1) if tomorrow comes by sidney sheldon : a very very cleverly written one here... lots of unexpected twists n turns... reminds me of these assorted chocolates.. u never know whats inside them.. :p
(2) harry potter - j. k . rowling (didnt like the 5th one though) : hmmm this one reminds me of five star... its a book for kids n i have loved this chocolate since i was a kid...
(3) kane n abel - jeffery archer : a very nice tale of friends turning foes... reminds me of munch and perk... well their advertisements in india are always vying to cut down each other
(4) vanity fair - william makepeace thackeray : a tale of deceit... its about how a girl tries to deceive her best friend for the sake of material things in life... a bitter experience makes for a bitter chocolate...
(5) chicken soup series : such cute n lovely stories in these books... many of them get me sobbing... but i never get enough of them... so id love to call them gems... gems of wisdom n love...
(6) pride and prejudice - jane austen : a classic... such a wonderful story... makes me want to go for horse riding n take long walks in the woods... so how about a dairy milk??.... this choco makes me feel nice n fresh after eating.... so id link this book with dairy milk
(7) the monk who sold his ferrari - robin sharma (still reading it) : hmmm i dont know where this story is going to lead... but reminds me of mountains n himalayas... so swiss chocos it is... yummy :)
(8) love story - erich segal : oooooooo loves in the air with my most favourite ferrero rocher.. do i even have to say more about this one???
(9) cinderalla : i have loves this story since i was a kid... every young girls fantasy... glass slippers n chariots n gowns n the prince... total royal treatment... belgian chocos it is... royalty demands a royal taste right??
(10) lord of the rings - j. r. r. tolkien : well well... this book is one hell of a read (no pun intended).. lol it took me six months to complete... well i was a little busy then but this book is awesome... fantasy fights n what not!!!... reminds me of the dark chocolates... when i eat them i dont know if i like them or not... :p
so what do u think about these books??? have u read them?? tell me about the books that u have read... can u compare them with nything else???... how do u feel when u goto a bookstore??... so tell me about the reader in u...
laterzzzz

ReplyDeleteSome of my favs are Grisham's Pelican Brief, The Chamber and A Time to Kill. Bridges of Madison County, by Robert J Waller, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey, Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, High Fidelity, by Nick Hornby..ok I could go on, these are it for now. I'll classify them as dark and sinful :)
