    My next entry:
    10) Life is What You Make It - Preeti Shenoy

    I have mixed feelings for the book, neither liked it too much nor completely dislike :bonk. But I would not personally recommend this to anyone.

    Hi all

    I wish to join too. I have read one tamil book. Here is the reason why I bought and read it.

    When my son was quoting Avvaiyar's Aathichchudi, all of a sudden he put one question? "Udayadhu Vilambel" nna ennamma ?
    (What is the meaning the of line "Udayadhu Vilambel")
    I was shocked. I could not answer. So I bought the book of Avvaiyar's literary work with meaning. The book is
    1) Iniya Needhi Noolgal - Kavignar Padmadevan

    After reading this book I became Avvaiyar's fan.

    Welcome to the club Sudha & Suriya. Suriya, it's so nice to know that one question from your son prompted you to read such an interesting book. I have been wanting to read more in Tamil too. You have motivated me to find Tamil books. Will keep you posted on how it goes.
