Yes, I love reading. Yes, you can call me a bookworm. Period.
These four book aren't necessarily the most well-written ones that I've ever read. But I've listed them here because they're the ones I'd want to go back and read again and again, for varying reasons. Never judge a book solely by its cover. :)

Four Books
1. Sherlock Holmes. I'm a sucker for detective and mystery novels/stories and despite being written ages ago, I think Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creations continue to be, by far, some of the best works of all times. I've read them a gazillion times, can read them another gazillion times. They're just so friggin awesome!
2. The Elephant, the Tiger and the Cell Phone: Reflections on India - the Emerging 21st-Century Power by Shashi Tharoor. Also, Being Indian by Pavan K. Varma. They both fall in the same genre of books and I love them both for their keen insight into everything that is Indian. It's one thing to observe the idiosyncrasies of people around you and entirely another to be able to put it down in words which portray every little, intricate detail with such precision and truth. I've always believed that writing about real-life situations is more difficult than writing fiction. Kudos to these guys for some stunning work.
3. Ruskin Bond and Enid Blyton Books. I've grown up reading these books and they remain some of my most favourite ones till date. I know people who think I'm weird because I like Ruskin Bond books but honestly, as a kid, I loved his stories, what with the hill station charm, the boarding school tales and the grandma love! Definitely on my all-time favourites list.
4. Shakespeare. How could I forget! I love his writings. Although I've read only Julius Caesar in the unabridged version, I love the others as well. Romeo and Juliet included.
There. I actually managed to put down some four books/writings. Not bad. But really, this is cruel. Books are far too awesome to be narrowed down like this. There are SO many more that I want to include. Anyhow, a task is a task and I've completed mine for today. Three Films tomorrow!
