Hi ppl,

Does anyone read Bengali novels. If yes what type? Which authors do U guys like?

[mhnew]

yes.

used to quite a lot.
Now don't have them within my reach.

Humayun Ahmed, Jafar Iqbal, Sunil, Shirshendu, Satyjit Ray, Shahriar Kabir, etc.
Once in a while an Imdad Milon and an Ashutosh. Have read some Shomoresh ones also.

Used to read Sheba also. Had quite a collection.
M.R., Tin Goyenda, Western mostly. They are mostly translations of English novels anyway.

Wow, I never really thought there were bangla novels, it may sound weird and all, but I guess this shows how sheltered we are here in the west, not seeing anything but what is around us...but now that I think of it, I remmber going to the public libary with my dada when I was small and he would take out books written in Bangla. So I know where I live, we have a huge selection of novels in Bangla, so if any of you come to visit, you can read them well you are here...

Inshallah I would be availing that opportunity.

The large collection, is it at home or at the library?

[leena]

it is at the libary, but I think we have some from when we were small, learning bangla and all, but I don't know where all of that went.....so this is what you do, well the bread earner is at work eh?...hehehe

[mhnew]

when did you get on here?

That is for me to know and you to find out, maybe you should be a little more concern about those people in your life, and than you will know where they are at all times You know what...I am good, I found you even when you thought I was not looking, shows how devoted I am....maybe it is time for you to show how devoted you are...lilac roses are very pretty.....
