My Story: From aliterate to Bibliophile
(Short Story Blog)

As of Late, reading novels and books became habit of me and start of this turned out to be a watershed in my life. Although I read plethora of the books(for a aliterate like me, more than 50-60 books in the lifetime means deluge) , But I could not finish all the books I started, for number of reasons.
