book reading in hildhood

i started reading books from child hood.at first i was reading thebooks like panchatantra-mitr labham&mitra bhedam,bharatham,bhagavatham and ramayana .they were childrens books with good illstrations.slowly i was reading chandamama and balamithra.after that i was reading my brothers and sisters nondetalis. they were coral island,treasure island,wetward hoe!kenilworth and tombrown schooldays.i used to like the adventures of the boys in coral island the most.

the first fullfledged english novel i read was emma by jane austin.i was in my ninth standard  and i felt proud that i could complete it successfully and understand it too.

at school we had david copperfield and oliver twist as nondetails.we had all of shakespears dramas as short stories. 

of the lessons  i liked on saying please by a g gardiner,pickwick papers,ungreatful pinetree the most.in hindi liked poetry by subhadra kumari chouhanji,mythili saran gupth andkabirdas.

in english poetry i liked eligy on the death of a mad dog,piedpiperand robert frost.

in my college days ,we had midsummer nights dream, hamlet as dramas. pride and prejudice by jane austin as novel, 

.miltons paradise lost book four was our poetry book. i used to like the description of paradise,satan as asnake very much.

my eldest brother used to buy many books. of those one german solidier by name sven hassel  had written three books about  the second world war and nazi camps.i was very much moved by those books.

of indian authors i read r k narayans guide,sashti bratas  my god died young,arun joshi s novel and rajinder singh bedis i take this woman.

once i joined in college i started reading romantic novels by deniserobins,hermina black. barbara cartland&mills and boon.when iwent to my eldest sister , i was reading perry masons novels, james hadly chase novels. besides these i read scarlet letter,papillon, wuthering heights,love camp,gypsy love etc during that time.

later i read almost all of harold robins, sydney sheldon,arthur hailey,mario puzo nd iing wallace.

even today i like to read at leastfor half an hour before i go to sleep.i feel happy and contented once i start reading  a book.i forget my dayto day problems and relax for once.

my reading habit has been passed on to my son vikky.my daughters read but very rarely.

i strongly feel reading habit is one of the hobbies one can have.mainly there will not be any sound pollution and we will not be a nuisance to any one  by this habit.

thank you for the day
