A List of my favourite books

So I don't know if I've mentioned that I am a Book Snob. Its a term I invented for myself so feel free to discount it. When I was in the 5th grade I was prescribed these glasses which were really thick - I had spoilt my eyesight because from the time I was born I think I have been reading. Reading in good light, bad light, reading in the bathroom, in the living room, in the balcony, at a wedding reception, under the desk at class... basically anywhere. When I started meeting people through the years, I would subtly slip in the introductory conversation - the mention of a book or an author which I felt was at their level based on various factors (age, sex, background, country etc) and if they had not read it, I usually sneered (on the inside of course). And I would silently judge them. Its quite harsh so I decided to call myself a book snob; i.e. - someone who discriminates openly and proudly on the basis of people's book reading ability and past. (again on the inside)

Here are a list of some of my best and most memorable books. Books have stayed in my life through the up's and down'd and they are one of the few constants in my ever changing landscape.
