So here I have been tagged by Pheonix, and I would love to do this tag. This tag came when I have again revived my hunger for books!!

A book that made you laugh: This has to be Calvin and Hobbes, my all time favorite the other one obviously being Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams

A book that made you cry: The Kite runner, Khalid Hosseini and we the living , Ayn Rand. the latest I have cried like a baby though was while watching Tare Zameen par, specially that song Ma.... By the way I get a lump in my throat pretty easily :-P

A book that scared you: mmm None, but on second thoughts Rise and Fall of the third Reich, William L Shirer. The part which describes the concentration Camps in Germany and Romania, and the way Jews were treated, its highly recommended, one of the most correct accounts of World War-II.
