BOOK I HAVE READ MOST NUMBER OF TIMES
I really liked this book... I read the abridged version (or was it unabridged) when I was about 6 or 7, and I can say that while I (obviously) did not understand a lot of the nuances, I got a lot of things the author was trying to say. I re-read the book (I would always do that when I was younger) a few times... I should re-read my books more often.
But I suppose I really overdid it when the book became a part of my syllabus during my ISC (+2/A Levels). I can guarantee that I read the book at least 20 times over the two years. I am sure if the test was only on Great Expectations, I could have scored almost a 100/100 :P.
Great Expectations
Written by Charles Dickens
Price: Varies, but approximately Rs. 50-70 onwards (Thank God for the guy who came up with the idea of affordable pricing for classics)
FAVOURITE BOOK FROM CHILDHOOD
I did not read/see too many picture books in my childhood, but I did read a few that were handed down to me from my brother. I don't have a picture of the book, but there was an adorable little pop-up book he had... my parents initially refused to give it to me, thinking I would damage it :| (well, I didn't). It was the story of The Frog Prince, and there was minimal text and largely, elaborate 3-D images to illustrate what was going to. It was gorgeous. I still have a thing for pop-up books, even though I don't own one anymore...
Sorry, no cover for the book. I think my parents have hidden the book somewhere again...
