I just finished reading “Veronika decides to die” the second time, the first time was almost a decade back. But one particular novel, by none other than Paulo Coelho, did make the most impact on my mind. If ‘Hamlet’, by William Shakespeare, was the best play I read so far, ‘Call of the wild’ by Jack London was my favourite short adventure novel.
Shakespeare to Charles Dickens, I have always been fascinated with these greatest dramatists and novelists since the dawn of my childhood.
I remember, having a special corner for short stories and poetry in my school days and a natural flair for English literature. My love for reading has never hit a full stop, be it a non-fiction work, an autobiography, a fiction work, a novel or a narrative.
