2 States : The Story of My Marriage


Found this book on my book shelf, untouched for many months, since my BIL's last visit. Picked it up one cloudy afternoon and finished it too!
The most imp thing abt Chetan Bhagat's book is to not expect anything. If you feellike a Bollywoodish story, you will not be disappointed :) If you expect literature - then :(
Boy meets girl - parents disagree plus throw in some sex, abuse and wedding - and that is 2 states. If you care for some subtle humor about the cultural differences, give it a shot.

The girl with dragon tattoo


Good book - worth one read. Not sure why it is a phenomenon though - there is nothing astoundingly new. Its like any mystery, thriller genre book. The only thing that surprised me was that the girl with the tattoo was not introduced till quite a bit (some 150+ pages later). The movie was much better with parallel stories.
The second half of the book was gripping though!

And why exactly do they brew so many many pots of coffee - mentioned almost in every other page of the book? This guy needed a better editor, btw :)

Twilight Saga


The Twilight Saga - What can I saw about Edward and Bella that's not already said? A phenomenon. Well, read the books if you care for some light hearted romance that involves vampires :)
Of the 4 books, I liked the first one. The rest felt like a drag!
