About me“A room without books is as a body without a soul.” Ovid
“The truly cultured are capable of owning thousands of unread books without losing their composure or desire for more.”-unknown
About my libraryI tend to have many interests, and that is reflected in my library. I love Indian and Asian fiction, as well as well written historical fiction. I stick mostly to fiction, but there are some non-fiction books that catch my eye and end up in my library as well.I have been collecting books avidly since 2003, but have been a serious reader for a much longer time than that. I love having a personal library from which to choose anything that may strike my fancy, at any time.

Be grateful for the skies of blue that smile from day to day;
Be grateful for the health you own, the work you find to do,
For round about you there are men less fortunate than you.
Be grateful for the growing trees, the roses soon to bloom,
The tenderness of kindly hearts that shared your days of gloom;
Be grateful for the morning dew, the grass beneath your feet,
The soft caresses of your babes and all their laughter sweet.
Acquire the grateful habit, learn to see how blest you are,
How much there is to gladden life, how little life to mar!
And what if rain shall fall today and you with grief are sad;
Be grateful that you can recall the joys that you have had.

I too was skeeved by parts of the book. The relationship with his mother was a bit odd and the fact that he was still breast feeding at 9-10 years old was just plain weird.
I admit, there were times when the book became disquieting, but I also freely admit that I think the author wasn't just pushing the envelope to be avant garde.
I totally agree. Sometimes you read books where the author is purposefully just trying to be shocking and certain things they include serve no real point.
Thanks for the compliment on my library. I also really like your library and your blog.
