bout books n authors

I am an avid reader and having read different kinds of books written by various authors , i have reached this assessment that the best way to approach reading a book is to first find out about the author .

Knowing the background of the author , his origins , country , upbringing , profession , the time in his life when he wrote the particular work all help in gaining a better perspective toward his approach to the particular work . For instance if you observe the writings , the timeline of the works as well as a brief history is readily available via various sources , the easiest being the internet . When you go through the profile of an author and compare his own works over a period of time , you will find a considerable difference which you can relate to easily , if you gain an insight into the his life in the same period . For example you can observe in several of the popular works , how the treatment of the characters changes corresponding to the events in the authors lives .

Another important factor which cannot be ignored is the era in which the the book is written . It is understandable that the writings of the early 1900s and the present will have an astronomical variation with regard to style , vocbualory and content . The same can be observed for books written in the late 1900s and the present . This is partly because the pace of evolution of the world also determines the pace with which its literature changes .

In this space , you will find my views and comments on the books that i have read ..
