Reading Wishlist - The Beginning...


It all started with this little germ of a midnight idea of what if we could read some books together and then blog about it .. And within 2 minutes we were already on the phone discussing it  and before you knew it, this idea was sailing right out into the world wide web to reach the in-boxes of other people who swear by their books..

Reading wishlists were promptly dispatched. Entries were wide and varied with an eclectic mix of thrillers, autobiographies, satires, fantasy, horror, mythology, travelogues, historical fiction, science fiction & graphic novels. 

And then came the dilemma of choosing..

Finally, a set of rules were arrived at such that a semblance of impartiality could be attributed to the final list. 

And with that the Short List for this blog was created.

1. Three Men in a Boat - Jerome K  Jerome
2. Welcome to Lovecraft (Volume 1 of Locke & Key) - Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez
3. Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell
4. The Motorcycle Diaries - Che Guevara
5. White Mughals - William Dalrymple
6. Something Fresh - P.G.Wodehouse
7. The Devotion of Suspect X - Keigo Higashino
8. Steve Jobs : The Exclusive Biography - Walter Isaacson
9. The Lowland - Jhumpa Lahiri
10. Personal Selection - Your Must Read which did not make the list
So true. But with this blog we will hopefully inch a step closer :)
