The first novel i can remember i read was Thomas Hardy's Far From The Madding Crowd,(i used to think its - Away From The Madding Crowd-for some reason!)and the Mayor of Caterbridge.
Then the next one i can remember well even now is-Gone With The Wind,of course:),by Margaret Mitchel.Scarlet O'hara is still fresh in my mind.And when i got to see the movie,Rhett Butler looked the same as i imagined him would be, when i read the novel:)
But my first love was Shogun. I remember one word from that novel even now,i read it more than 15 years back. Tatami:)and i went to japan and lived among those characters till i was done with the novel.It was a great experience knowing the Samurais:)
Next came Roots by Alex Haley.That was a very touching story which i want my son to read. But now i dont think he would read anything else until he is finished with Eddings ..
