Ruskin Bond needs no introduction. Almost every Indian child must have read at least one book written by him, which has been translated into almost all Indian languages. The title at first gives the impression that this might be Ruskin Bond's experiences as a bookworm and his favourite books. Well, the latter is true; the book does give us a list/idea about his favourite books.
Confessions of a Book Lover is a patchwork of a favourite chapter each from selected favourite novels that he has read since he was a child, to date. This book indicates what handsome collections of books he has possessed in so many years. Before each chapter/story, he has given a prologue which does include some memories related to the book or something about the author of that story.
Apart from Ruskin Bond fans, this book is definitely recommended for all those who do not have the patience to read fat volumes and would rather be amused with short stories. And for all the book dragons out there, this book will inspire you to help gather some new additions in your "already overloaded" library because there are many stories which will haunt you at night and you will: go ahead, search for the books and - if your pocket supports, buy them.
Go for it!!!
