Truth is, I would love to read every single book that's ever written. In every language, from every period. But the bigger (and obvious) truth is, that's not possible. Now if that's not unfair, I don't know what is. At one point in life, I wanted to not just read, but also own every single book. That dream was shattered rather quickly. I know, life is cruel.
Jokes aside, reading is my passion. I don't read as much fiction as I used to at one time. For non-fiction, I consciously make an attempt to read books on variety of topics, even though I lean towards reading more of math and science books. Since the beginning of 2009, I have been trying to write reviews of the books I read. It doesn't happen for every book, but I try.
