Growing up, one constant companion in my life were books and novels. Our house was filled with lot of good books than I could ever count and soon I turned into a voracious reader. I realize now that I read books that were probably beyond my comprehension as I would happily read through James Hadley Chase, Perry Mason and John Fowles.

I have to rather sheepishly admit that I fall in the former category and read books for mere pleasure and can make no tall claims of being worldly wise after reading them. My taste runs into thrillers and adventures with lots of blood, murder, espionage and counter espionage thrown in for good measure. I am not a literary person who can fake interest in highly literary works. I freely admit that I cannot appreciate most novels that delve deeply into human emotions and are considered to be the best in the literary world.
