The "booky" tag

I have been tagged by na_an. Was tagged a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't get around to doing the tag. Someone else tagged me 2 months back, and I haven't done that tag as yet....Now there is one more tag.....Aaaaaaa! :) If I have missed your tag, sorry.

I liked this particular tag as it was simple, and came just at the time when I decided to catch up on my reading.

I finished reading "God of Small Things". The book depressed me - not just the story, but the unrelenting morbidity that preoccupied the main characters. But the writing style was original, and the build up to the climax was good. I felt that the author could have done away with some crude words/language here and there.

Presently reading "A Matter of Life and Death" by Rosemary Altea. The author is a spiritual healer, and has worked as a medium, helping people communicate with loved ones lost to death. As per the tag rules, Page 123 in the book, the fifth sentence onwards, reads:

"We just want to send messages to the two boys we left behind."
Will and Jeff went on to talk about their other brothers, Jim, aged thirty, and Charles, twenty-five. They told us they had seen the ring, and it was beautiful. Brother Jim is newly engaged and designed the ring himself.

I bet you can't make head or tail out of that passage :D. I picked up this book on a whim, seeing that it had a review by Carolynn Myss, whose book I liked. So far it has been a fascinating read.

Not tagging anyone :)
