What Do You Want From Me?

I am reading a lot these days and I mean a real lot. I have finished three novels in the past five days and I plan on finishing another three in the next five. The reason for this sudden outburst is a mail that I got from one of my friends. He mailed me a list of top 100 books compiled by Modern Library. You can view the list here. He mailed it into our group and I topped it with a score of 26. This was a great morale booster. However, I have decided one thing that I will read only short novels on the computer and the big ones in hard copy. I know its hard to find them in hard copy but I don’t have a choice. Confession: I still haven’t read Lord Of The Rings. Another reason for this decision is that my speed drops dramatically when reading on the computer. Its around 350 wpm on paper but barely 150-200 wpm on the computer. Do tell me your score from the list because I am quite sure that I will beat you. *Sticking my tongue out*

The books that I have read or the ones I am going to read in near future are:
Foundation by Isaac Asimov
Foundation and Empire by Isaac Asimov
Second Foundation by Isaac Asimov
War Of The Worlds by H. G. Wells
The Door Into Summer by Robert A. Heinlein
The Call Of The Wild by Jack London
If you want any of them in soft copies, leave a comment. I will mail them to you as soon as possible.

N.S. Update : Mustered up the courage to go to her place only to find out that she has gone to her nani’s place for a few days. She will be back on the 6th and she will be leaving on the 9th. Oh God, Devil and Whatever… One of you help me.
