These days, I am into a marathon book reading of sorts. It dont matter which author when I find myself finishing up one book only to pick up the next. It all started with Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows – THE book which I read twice, then switched over to Sons of Fortune by Jeffery Archer. Unputdownable was an understatement when the first thing I did in the morning was reach out for the book and devour it for two hours before I had to finally leave for dratted work.
Next came The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger. What a funny book! Reminded me a little of Ugly Betty so it was rather amusing to read about devilish co-workers and imagining Betty Suarez’s mishaps in the Mode office. That being done, I realized that I wanted to read a little bit of effortless thriller and what better than Sidney Sheldon’s Are you afraid of the dark.
I have two more Jeffery Archer’s novels lined up as well as a Pulitzer winning best-selling novel, The Colour Purple by Alice Walker – this book was lent so graciously by a fellow book worm-tail on whom I can count to recommend other Unputdownables. (She lent me The Devil Wears Prada too)
On an after thought, I think I will finally have to reacharge my Tata Sky connection. Its either that or – spoil my eyes – as they say!
The Colour Purple was made into a very haunting movie starring Whoopi Goldberg. Amazing book & movie (in that particular order).
I didnt know that :O I watched Sister Act 2 again recently. Loved Whoopi’s mini rap for the students to get their behind back in class!
I loved the way The Colour Purple started… cant wait to read it.
I have been meaning to read The Colour Purple man… RingAmma’s review awaited.
Really??? I didnt even know there was a book like that before my friend lent it to me….
Review pending. Will do so asap!
Well thanks to lazy sundays and google! doesn’t this show how much time your frends got?
Here’s a small treat for you:

Hey!!! Dig this extract from the wikipedia link:
“Meanwhile, Nettie and Samuel are preparing for their return to America. Adam falls in love with and marries an African girl named Tashi”
Where did this sikkimese name of Tashi come from???
Perhaps Alice Walker traveled to Sikkim or Bhutan before she started writing the book.
Btw, I have just heard and read about The Colour Purple. Haven’t had the chance to catch up. Look forward to doing that some day…
Will probably have a review for you on monday… Will read it as soon as today’s meeting gets over. Today was a working saturday for me
