I can see from your avatar that you're a real book-worm. Also saw some photographs of your books in a quick tour of your blog. Nice to have you here. JV: I can fully empathize. I started out with a txt file (80s), then an XLS (90s), then gave it up. So, I'm trying to rejuvenate myself all over again with Shelfari! :-) Bibliomom: I don’t know how you stumbled upon my blog…you’re most welcome!

I have never able to update such site as being lazy.

Arun: In that case, why don't you build your own bookshelf so I can learn about some new books? That's the whole idea! Ashok, Shefali: yes, the charm and pricelessness of antique books in particular can be very addictive. Somewhat similar to how the little book store in You've Got Mail sounds more appealing than those Amazons and Barnes & Nobles...(not exactly, just romanticizing) Shefali: I must try and get around to reading your reviews someday!

In fact, I go around scouring for old books and there is this streetside shop in Chennai that is a motherlode of such treasures. I even found a 1930s travelogue by a S Mahadevan who accompanied Gandhi on his tours on the country.
