Pudd'n'head Wilson
by Mark Twain
The Tragedy of Puddn'head Wilson caught my interest when I had to study an excerpt from the story as a part of my curriculum in Law and Literature. I really loved the way Twain has used wits in describing situations and the characters. The highlight of the story is the Puddn'head Wilson's almanac which begins with witty and humorous calendar quotes....it's a must read!
Murder!
by Arnold Bennett
I happened to read this story for the first time as apart of our curriculum in English for Law students (Law and Literature) and I simply enjoyed the experience. It was an absolute delight anf a very engaging story...
Highly recommended!
Family Happiness
by Leo Nikoleyevich Tolstoy
Family Happiness is one of the best novellas I've ever read...while the plot is extremely simple as compared to other splendid Tolstoy works like Anna Karenina, War and Peace and Resurrection, Tolstoy's sheer style of writing and conveying the simplest of things in such a beautiful manner makes this book a highly enjoyable reading. I feel it's a must read especially for all young girls who're set to get married- it's neither overtly mushy nor overtly realistic. It's sweet and heart warming....
Happy Reading!
Anna Karenina
by Leo Tolstoy
Anna Karenina is a true master piece. A highly engaging work of fiction with an incredible charm of the life and times in the Russian aristocratic society...Not only is the plot very interesting but so is the sub plot involving Kitty and Levin. Very much recommended!
Emma
by Jane Austen
Emma is the first Jane Austen work that I've read and it would be an understatement to say that I found it marvellous! It's hard not to fall in love with the characters which are crafted so beautifully- right from Emma the protagonist to Mrs. Elton! I particularly loved Mr. Knightley. The best thing about the story is the old world classic charm and the way a person's character is guaged according to his letter writing skills! It makes one wonder how beautiful life must have been in the ear when people actually had the depth and the insight to analyse other individuals unlike the modern fast paced life where sms language is the order of the day!
Reading Emma is an experience in itself and such a beautiful one!
