Reflections through Cyberspace

The following are the BBC Top 100 Books, as voted by people taking part in The Big Read.
I only read 14 of them, although some books mentioned in the list have been on my ‘to read’ list for some time, and I have watched 14 of them as movies as well …still a long way [...]

This morning I finished reading A Matter of Honour by Jeffrey Archer, which I had started reading nearly a month ago. It’s not usual of me to take so long to read a book, but since I was so busy with assignments I had no choice other than to put it aside. However today I [...]

Yesterday I finished my Rule of Law assignment where I had to prepare a book review of Anil’s Ghost, written by Michael Ondaatje, as I had said some time ago.
The review had to be 1,000 words long. At first I thought that was too much, but when I started writing I couldn’t stop. At first, [...]
