Dear Reader,
Today, while I was surfing the internet, I saw a question on one of the social networking sites: What were your favorite books as a child and why?
The question set me thinking and browsing through my childhood memories. When was it that I first read a book - what age? What was the name of the book? It is generally observed that people remember the first book that they read, the first movie that they watched quite vividly. And there it comes to me, "The Three Fat Men by Yuri Olesha". That was my first book. I still cannot remember what my age was when I read this book but I distinctly remember my mother giving me this book. I read the book several times after that and found it very engrossing, fascinating and memorable. The story was enhanced further with colorful illustrations.
For me, the book was all about the little dancer Suok, the heir Tutti and the magician Dr. Gaspar. But probably it was all about Revolution. The story demonstrates the differences in class and the struggle.
