Hey! There is good news for all book lovers. Strand book store has started their annual sale and exhibition at Sundarbai hall, Churchgate. (Though my best friend said that they didn’t have new books and authors, it’s all old stock. But visiting once is ok).
I visited the exhibition on first day and guess what did I get? Three books of Karen Armstrong. Wow! I am happy because after reading her Muhammad: A Prophet for Our Time (which of course introduced to me by the same friend), I was longing to other titles.
I got three of them, Islam: A Short History, A History of God (the most famous title of her) and The Battle for God: A History of Fundamentalism (this was gifted by another friend she said it was birthday gift, cool! I wish my birthday could come on every month).
I am just too eager to start with one the books. But need to finish Isabelle Eberhardt’s In the Shadow of Islam.
Other book I bought was D H Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover, as I need to read more classics to understand and improve my language. I also got The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin and Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. I am feeling great after buying so many books. But now I need some time to read them. I think I should put a leave application now and read all the books 24/7.
