General help to fellow booklovers

How do you feel when you go out to a bookstore with the idea of procuring yourself a nice read but then, are unable to choose one so easily? I for one do get this feeling most of the times I visit the bookstore mainly due to two reasons

  • Your local store keeps just the authors that are hot and popular
  • You really don't know much about the other authors.

So in order to help myself out I sometimes go to the store not to buy anything but to just get to look at the different authors, and then if I am captivated by a particular authors style I make a mental note of that and the next time I am in for buying a book I try to choose one of such authors I have in mind. If I like the way that the author portraits his skills I go in for a few more books of his.

To facilitate fellow readers and book lovers I plan to write a few articles about the authors I have been able to read; those with whom I fell in love with and also those that I was not so comfortable with; because every reader like every author does not have the same feel for things nor do they look at things in the same way.

I sincerely hope that this might be of some help and if there is any particular author that one of you are impressed with please do post about them so that I can write up a post that might be helpful to the others (and get my hands onto a book of that author if I did not do so ;)).

Also if any of you want some good authors in a particular genre please feel free to let me know I will surely suggest some.
