Books wala tag

I donot read books. Actually I have tried many times to get the reading habit, but somehow I find orkuting much more interesting that reading books. In orkutting, what do i do? Followup profiles (female ones) n check to see if there are snaps that r not locked :o)
Yes...that is the level of vellapanti that I have many a time. But I am not looking for comments on the first paragraph :P...
This post is about a tag arpz passed on to me...She wanted to see what an IIMA guy reads...chose the wrong person to form an opinion on this institute's reading habits :o(

But I will still write bout whatever little reading I have done...so please bear with me

Book that made u laugh

c
ant think of any yaar...maybe some joke book...haan but i did laugh out loud when i read jeevan ke 30 sach in a mail...

Book that made u cry

ALMOST cried reading Kite Runner...also Godan n Family Matters
but then tears dont oblige me generally...

Book that scared you
was scared after reading the Ram Rahim comics when i was a child

Book that disgusted u
a child called it...it wasnt the book...it was the content of the book...the book was about violence on a child...it was very very disturbing...yes disturbing is the right word

Book u loved in elementary school
yaad nahi hai

book u loved in middle school or hgh school
famous five books, nancy drew, hardy boys, three investigators etc etc

book u loved in college
frederick forsyth books :o) the best i liked was the one in which iraq mades a huge gun...forgot the name...kya naam tha...ruk...haaan...the fist of god

the book that changed ur identity
everybody loves a good drought...

fav science fiction book
i HATE science fiction...technology se phat ti hai meri...n i am a computer science engineer...who was among the top 5 in class...n who does not know how to format his computer :o(

fav fantasy
sharam nahi aati tum logo ko yeh sab padte huye...meri fantasies jaanke tum kya karoge...jao jaake kitaab padho

fav mystery
would be one of the three investigators books...dont remember in specific

fav biography
aaj tak nahi padha koi...tried reading mein kampf...thrice...never crossed the first 20 pages (now u see what i mean when i say i dont really read)

fav classic
bachpan mein woh photo wale kitabe milti thi...classics ki...wahi padhi hai maine...in that...i loved The last of the mohicans....kaafi action tha na usmein

fav romance book
have read 2 only...only u n love story by erich segal...of those two...i liked love story more...so that makes it my favourite :D

haan...n even though the categories are over...i will not end without saying that I loved the following three books (this can also be seen as an attempt to show that I have read at least a few books :D)
- Atlas Shrugged
- The other Ayn Rand book whose name i JUST NOW FORGOT...haan...fountainhead
- The Monk WHo Sold His Ferrari

Haan...aur suno...abhi yaad aa raha hai
- The Alchemist bhi :D

bas...ab ho gaya...n i am not really sure of how tagging works...do i need to pass along this tag...?
