Brighton Rock...Graham Green

After reading "The Human Factor", I picked up this book of the same author. And I just somehow managed to finish it. It just made no sense to me. Neither the story nor any implicit meanings which the author wanted to convey.

The story is about a boy "Pinkie", who is kind of involved in shady business, kills one person & more persons to hide the first murder. And then makes one girl [who kind of is the witness to first murder] his girlfriend & eventually marries her so that she cant testify against him. This girl also is blindly devoted to him for no odd reason. And the story goes on.

It was such a boring read for me. In Orkut's books community many people had kind of praised this book/author. Guess should check out what they liked about it.

Eragon ...Eldest... by Christopher Paolini

Am yet to finish the third n final part of this Inheritance Trilogy. The first two books have been a good read. Whats enjoyable about such fantasy novels is that they are pure imagination :) This one is nothing compared to Harry Potter series off course, which was like AWESOME :D but still has been a wonderful read.

A Missed Flight..

No, that is not any book’s name. Instead it is just a mundane experience which I thought of penning down. It so happened that after a 3 month tryst in US I was on my way back to Pune, India.
The journey began on the morning of 30th of November. After exchanging warm hugs & goodbyes with frens on that cold morning I headed for the airport. One of my frens saw me off & that eased of my journey blues to some extent. Then began the long wait, first couple of hours, then 3..5..7 hours at that Milwaukee terminal for my first flight to Newark. This flight just kept getting delayed cuz of the weather conditions. And I could see the weather from the terminal windows. It kept snowing & a tempest followed. I knew I had missed my connecting flight from Newark to Mumbai due to this delay but still I was hoping against hope that it might also have got delayed, haha :)
