World Book Day

Today is "World Book Day". Wikipedia will give you lots of info on this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Book_and_Copyright_Day.

My idea about this day, since I heard about it 3 years ago, has been to buy at least one book on this day. I haven't done it every year :-( Once I bought a RKN's 'My Days' and some other novels.

This year I haven't bought anything. To compensate it, planning to pick up couple of books this weekend. Now itself I can visualise my mom's reaction "intha books ellam enga vaikka pora, pesamal en thalaiyila vai" -- "Where are you planning to keep these books? Better keep them on my head!"

Nevertheless, am determined to buy books! Whenever you people read this, please buy some books! And don't allow them to sleep in the shelf!

I have come across this question many a times "What will you do if left alone in an island and what would you ask for?"

Why, books of course! The pure joy of reading books without any disturbances... it is unparalleled.
