    Hello ILites,

    After such a successful Book challenge in 2009, I couldn't wait to have the book challenge for 2010.!! Well, as the new year begins, am I sure all you book lovers would have made a resolution to read as many books as possible this year - If you haven't put a resolution yet - then pull up socls and why not aim for what atleast 12 books this year? That would mean atleast a minimum a book a month..

    so lets not waste time and try to keep up to our resolves.!!

    Here are the points that you should follow (these points are the same as 2009's challenge)

    1. The challenger can make his/her own choice of number of books, he/she wants to complete.

    2. The challenger can post here, only if he/she is done with the book and not at any stage of book reading.

    3. The books can be of any language, either English or any Indian language.

    4. It can be fiction or non-fiction or self - improvement.

    5. We, the contenders follow the numbering here.
    For ex: If Ms.A makes a entry of her 4th book, then the book name should be preceded by number four.

    6. If the book is a re-read, it should be a year ago - I belive I should add it here that a year means atleast a gap of 365 days otherwise we might end up writing the names of the books that we have just now finished in Dec 2009.!! :biglaugh

    7. Also, please mention the name of the author too - that way all others could know more about the book too.!

    If you would like to add some points , please mention them too.

    Happy reading,
    Gayathri

    Hi Gayathri :hiya

    I have finished all Chetan Bhagat's novels and few days back I have registered myself as Chetan Bhagat fan in IL :)
    I read 2 states too and just loved it...that was my first book of chetan bhagat.
    Just finished "Kite Runner" and I recommend to read...what a beautiful narration.
    Now my hand are on "The Alchemist" by Paul Coelho.
