Meeting an old friend

So it was that I met an old friend for the first time this vacation, though I meet him regularly in every vacation. Well I said 'him' but I think 'it' would be more appropriate, especially since the friend whom I am referring to happens to be the Crossword book store at Shivaji Park which I love to visit during the vacations. Since the current vacation had kept me very busy till date I had no time to visit Crossword, but today evening since I had no other activity, I thought it only appropriate to call upon the Crossword corner. The Children of Hurin was the book I chose today for reading, though I have not yet finished it. Other books which caught my attention were "The Inheritance of Loss" by Kiran Desai and "The Kite Runner" Shantaram is of course only half finished and I intend to finish that one too in this vacation at Crossword only.
The Non fiction section had a new arrival on the no. 1 position. The book's name, "The Secret" which could be an interesting read as well. And if these books are not enough to keep me busy over the vacation there is always Jeffrey Archer, Sidney Sheldon, and John Grisham (Innocent man). So already the vacation seems packed even if I have no other activity, though I intend to socialise a bit with friends as well.
Can't help feeling that I may have missed a book. Waiting for some one to drop in a comment suggesting some other books as well.
