Here you go, Divya Sudhakar: 10 books that I most related to and why. :) 1. Girl with a Pearl Earring I heard voices outside our front door - a womans, bright as polished brass, and a mans, low and dark like the wood of the table I was working on. They were the kind of voices we heard rarely in our house. I could hear rich carpets in their voices, books and pearls and fur. 2. The God of Small Things But what was there to say? Only that once again they broke the Love Laws. That lay down who should be loved. And how. And how much. 3. Jane Eyre I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give. 4. Emily of New Moon It had always seemed to Emily, ever since she could remember, that she was very, very near to a world of wonderful beauty. Between it and herself hung only a thin curtain; she could never draw the curtain aside-- but sometimes, just for a moment, a wind fluttered it and then it was as if she caught a glimpse of the enchanting realm beyond-- only a glimpse-- and heard a note of unearthly music. 5. Bridget Joness Diary I dont think youre an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mothers pretty interesting. And you really are an appallingly bad public speaker. And, um, you tend to let whatevers in your head come out of your mouth without much consideration of the consequences... But the thing is, um, what Im trying to say, very inarticulately, is that, um, in fact, perhaps despite appearances, I like you, very much. Just as you are. 6. Jenny I thought I was disappointed - and I thought it was because I had longed so much and dreamed so much, that all I wanted to see, would become pale and poor against my dreams. Have you noticed when you are a summer day in the sun with closed eyes? When you open them, as all the colors gray and fade for a while. But thats only because the eyes are awakened by being unused for some time - they cannot bear immediately to perceive the diversity of colors that are in reality - the first impression is imperfect of poverty. Do you understand what I mean? 7. The Help You is kind. You is smart. You is important. 8. Revolutionary Road She just happened to feel like it. Wasn’t that after all, the only reason there was? Had she ever had a less selfish, more complicated reason for doing anything in her life? 9. You Must Remember This Oh, don’t stop loving me, dont ever stop loving me, I cant live without you. Someday you will, Felix said. Then that wont be me, Enid said. 10. Fall on Your Knees “Materia no longer went up to the hope chest to cry-- she cried wherever she happened to be at the time-- nor did it any longer interrupt her work or wrench a single muscle in her face. Looking forward to your lists: Saba Fathima, Tatiana Sokolova, Arvind Ramachandran, Swathi Sundararaman, Meghana Abraham :)
