#WorldBookDay2021 a tad late, but thought will end my day with something I love too much--- reading--much like music. As someone who stayed up several nights just to finish that novel, sharing some favourite writers.
1) Enid Blyton- Which child from the 80s-90s won't? ++

Can give an arm and leg for owning the entire collection of The Famous Five, and Malory Towers. Read it with delight after a cousin lent hers.++
2) Lots of Indian writers --the likes of RK Narayan, Kamala Markandaya and Khushwant Singh. Love the Indian imagery and poignant stories of pre Independence India, tales of women in shackles, and some humour occassionally.++
3) Discovered Anita Desai in my 20s, and couldn't berate myself enough for not reading her earlier. Brilliant narration with simple storyline. ++
4) Ruskin Bond-- Had the joy of interviewing him once. Was tongue tied and couldn't tell him how much I loved his stories.
5) Anees Salim more recently. Loved his The Blind Lady's Descendants.
6) Agatha Christie- queen of crime has had me sit with her plots many sleepless nights just to figure out the murderer. Never guessed:)
