Books...more books

I've been reading a lot these days, finished 6 books in the last 20 days. These phases come and go. In my current state of inaction, I try to fill up the void with books, to occupy my mind, to divert it from more disturbing thoughts, and sometimes to learn as well. 
On the big billion day by Flipkart, I went on a book shopping spree. So I bought about 20 books in the last month alone. I am not sure if I will read them all, but I hope that they'll be a part of library I plan to build some day. This library will contain books mainly on India, Cricket and Mythology. Here's the list:
  1. Delhi by Khushwant Singh
  2. Twilight in Delhi by Ahmed Ali
  3. City of Djinns by William Dalrymple
  4. White Mughals by William Dalrymple
  5. The Last Mughal by William Dalrymple
  6. Return of A King by William Dalrymple
  7. Age of Kali by William Dalrymple
  8. Our Moon Has Bloodclots by Rahul Pandita
  9. Curfewed Nights by Basharat Peer
  10. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
  11. Short Stories by Anton Chekhov
  12. Short Stories by O' Henry
  13. The Picador Book of Cricket by Ramachandra Guha
  14. Beyond a Boundary by C L R James
  15. Playing it My Way by Sachin Tendulkar
  16. Indian Summer by Alex Von Tunzelmann,
  17. Rashmirathi  by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar
  18. Arjuna: Saga of a Pandava Warrior Prince by Anuja Chandramauli
  19. The Brave by Rachna Bisht
  20. Finance Quiz Book  by Bijay Bhujbal
