Let us see how it goes with A Long Way Down... I think that it has enough for 150 pages; but if we are struggling at the 75th page, then of course, we can start the second book too... (I think that a slow pace, forced at 150 pages will be sufficient even for the slow readers...)

Uh... and Smita ji, you read the book? Did you dislike it??

I liked the book but like Jess I wanted a grand ending not real life😒

but JEss can't be real..considering her background😛
psst I love Dahl and I loved his Matilda.

Smita ji, before coming to Germany, I worked for a very short time (with the intent of seeing how M.Sc. students work at the snootiest reserach institiute in Bombay)... the prof. would conveniently hand over her children to some grad student or the other; and I can tell you that children of profs. are the brattiest that you'll ever see...
Jess can very well be real... If the children of parents with Ph.D. can be what I saw them to be, Jess is only the troubled daughter of a lower level minister (probably half as educated as the folks I am talking about!)...

Well, I can fill up at least 70 pages with my 'idle talk'. 😆

I might discuss Order of the Phoenix and then Half Blood Prince with you guys to take your attention off from serious discussions. 😆

Harry Potter 😳😳😳

@Thank you Pinki ji 😊

I wanted Maureen and Martin to marry each other. And, I wanted JJ and Jess to marry each other.
I thought when I finished reading the book that it is only my Bollywood-nourished dimmag, which can't imagine endings without marriages... 😛

😆😆 Yes, but RW ji is reading it currently, so I wouldn't want it to be unfair, considering the fact that I might not even read the books. 😡😆😆

Fair point, Mohit ji, but I just won't be able to enjoy it the same. I just don't have enough incentives to read it. Though, I did read about a 100 pages of HP yesterday. That too, because I had other things to do. I did finish it within a day when I first got the book. 😆 They are too addictive. 😳😳

Aladin ji, do read the posts that I make... I'll fish out the best parts of the book, and then invite your comments on them... Perhaps, you might want to read the book too... 😃
