Diya also loves Richard and Paulo

Time is 00:38 AM..and i am deep into some experiment I am trying out with google for the last 3 hours.
Suddenly I look up and find Diya Mirza on Just Books (NDTV profit).
Her Favourites:
1: Illusions by Richard Bach
Illusions:The adventures of an reluctant Messiah is also one of my favourites. Got my hands on it thanks to my big bro's collection of some of the coolest books. That was at a time I was still crazy about getting into Indian Air Force. I loved this guy and his bi-plane so much because i felt he shared my desire to fly. I have never stopped since then. I covered all his books within the period of next 2/3 years but I got to understand his philosophies better, emphathized with his stories, charachters and way of looking at life. Will always be my fav author.

2. Like the flowing River by Paulo Coelho
I am on a constant lookout for any books by Paulo. After Zahir, I suddenly stumbled upon this book. I was not sure if it was one of his earlier books that had finally been concverted to paperback for Indian audience. Whatever I had picked it up and was amazed to find to be a collection of short stories. Well I should not have been, i already had his The manual of Warrior of Light and that too is not really a novel/storybook.

Well since I am online I felt like putting it out here.

Here's something interesting. Seems "The Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri is No.1 best seller this week according to this show. Well that's what i am reading right now.
