Summer Moonshine by P G Wodehouse

Once again, a topper! Set in a country house situated 40 miles from London, the story intertwines between marital-engagements, mansion-selling-deals, "plasterers", deliberate lies, misunderstandings, post-swim-no-clothes-scenes etc to create one helluva comedy. A must-read.

The Luck of the Bodkins by P G Wodehouse

Simply fantabulous! Absolutely hilarious! Most of the story is on board a ship on the way from London to New York on the Atlantic Ocean. As usual, a number of engagements, entanglements, misunderstandings and feudal spirit - all narrated in superb English. A must-read.

Letter from Peking

Another Pearl S Buck novel. Another China based story. But this time, more entwined with Vermont, USA. One gets the feeling that Pearl is narrating her own story. Maybe. Maybe not. It gets slightly boring at times, the way the main character portrays her love story as the greatest of all love stories, while actually it is not a dream romance as it should have been. Only good thing is that it is a very small novel.
Rating: Average

Chicken Soup for the Expectant Mother's Soul

I had not heard about the Chicken Soup series until recently. It is a collection of stories written by people like you and me. Some are humorous, some are inspiring, some are plain and some are plain boring! But it is definitely worth a read - for expectant mothers and expectant fathers alike.

The Good Earth by Pearl S Buck

Pulitzer winner. Beautifully written. Complete story of a Chinese illiterate farmer, starting from the day he gets a wife to the day he has tens of grand children. Also revolves around many seasons of famine and flood, of neighbours and uncles and aunts and thieves and slaves and Lords. And, of course, the good earth.

The Essential Calvin and Hobbes

Some strips are repeated but, still, a book not to be missed! Calvin time is fun time!

2 States: The story of my marriage by Chetan Bhagat

I was told this book has one really laughable statement in every page. I was told right. Chetan's witticism is all through the novel and makes this book unstoppable although it has a typical bollywood storyline of boy loves girl and parents disagree. Extremely well written in very simple English and the one-line punch-liners spread across the book are what makes this novel a must-read.

Dilbert: The Joy of Work by Scott Adams

I generally don't like Dilbert comics. But I like the way Scott Adams writes (blogs). So read this book. It was not all that good but it was indeed weirdly funny. A stark truth about corporate culture and its dry humor.

The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book

Author Bill Watterson explains in this book the various behind-the-scenes of CnH including the first CnH comic strip and how he experimented with various panels, colors, stories outside of the normal CnH such as the tyrannosaurus, etc. It is extremely hilarious and a must read.

Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons

My first Calvin and Hobbes book although I was reading comic strips. Extremely hilarious and a must-read. Although cover story is about monster snow goons, it has a plethora of stories ranging across different seasons.

The Little Warrior by P G Wodehouse

A nice story of a young English damsel who loses all her wealth due to a care-free uncle and hence ends up in a Broadway chorus (opera). Very good characterization and a clean read.

Rating: 2

The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum

Perhaps because I had already seen the movie. Perhaps because I had very high expectations. The book seemed to be a bit of a bore, compared to the action pack movie. The ending too was not satisfying. Perhaps I would have different opinion if I had read the novel first.
