The Top Ten buzz

Ever since I read this post and passed on the link to a couple of my friends who have fallen in love with John Banville, I have been repeatedly encountering mentions of the book The Top Ten at various blogs. As a friend of mine put it, it is amazing how you and your favourite author have similar, if not matching, tastes in books. Having nodded to that remark, I must also confess that my list is nowhere like Banville's.

The MetaxuCafe post on the topic has generated few comments with lists of reader top tens. I look forward to picking up a gem or two from there.

About me

  • I'm Echo/Lavanya
  • From Chennai, India
  • So, we are curious now? My folks named me Lavanya, and it does have a meaning. I named myself Echo, for this blog. And that has a meaning too. Therefore, I have more than one name; I can walk; I can talk; I can read; I can even write; I can count - 9 'I's already and that is absolutely disgusting; I can also lie about numbers. Do you need to hear more?
