First book you've read by your favorite author   "Ntuppuppakkoanendarnnu" by Vaikom Muhammed Baheer

Best book-to-movie adaption

I really don’t like any… I always miss something in those movies.

Do you read comics/manga

I do read comics.

Hardcovers or Paperbacks 

Paperbacks

Do you buy books as soon as they come out or wait a while 

If I had heard about that book, or read any interview about the book by the author and liked it, of course I will grab it when its available in the market.

Do you buy books spontaneously without any prior knowledge of what happens in it 

Hmmm… No. Reading the blurb first and if it created an urge to read the book, then only I will buy that book.

Have you ever bought a book based on the cover alone 

No

Where do you usually buy your books 

Book Stores

Book that had a strong impact on you 

The Alchemist

Historical or science fiction

Historic

Dystopian or Utopian 

I don’t know. I hadn’t tried both.

Worst book-to-move adaption 

Almost all… I never left cinema’s happily if it’s an adaptation

Book that should have a movie adaption 

No comments. I used to feel, when a book is adapted into a movie, the entire story lost its soul.

The first book you've fallen in love with 

“Randamoozham”, by M. T. Vasudhevan Nair (Malayalam). The one book I never hated reading at any point of time and which always give me a new view to think over and over again.

I love all the books, no matter what it does to me
