Novels

These days a lot of craze is around for new novels,recently released ones from a famous author and how soon one finishes to tell others about it.
First of all ,to those people who belong to the above category,
WHO CARES?
Read it yourself and keep it to yourself. There are not many illiterate bastards around who would be dying to hear a so-called new story for a change.Your life is boring, get past it. Yeah,kill yourself.
After reading an author's one book, a person knows to have found an extremely new concept missing from the whole imaginary world of stories(not the complex plane,its not even a subspace of C). Then after the second book of author, the person realizes that it was a different story with perhaps the same cast (you have to doubt your conclusions coz author will never tell you this).Then after the third book,you seem to be getting the point of author about trying to bring out a particular element in each story like the hero in the start is the villain in the climax.
Beleive it or not,after the fifth book,you will realise ,it was after all the same story,set in different context, you are robbed.Sue that SOAB.
This happened to me. Yes,sympathy accepted.
I had thought that my entire life would not be the same if i hadn't read 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho, i used to revere that guy. It was like the masterpiece,which could never be written again. Then i read 'Eleven Mintues' which was the most awesome book i had ever read,and still is,as a matter of fact,perhaps because of its erotic content and a good story and lot of morals. But then i read more of his 'Zahir' , 'The Valkyries', 'Devil and Miss Prym' ,'Veronica decides to die', 'The Witch of Portbello', 'Like a flowing river', and one more,the ugliest one called 'brida' and then i had realised that this author could not stop talking about something spritiual which different people buy because they think they know it ,'Soul of the universe' , 'Beginner's luck' whatever it means.The hurting part is that the guy writes about himself in every story,he is the hero. I thought this was the case with only Paulo,there was no reason to blame others. And then i tried Dan Brown, 'Angels and Demons','Da Vinci Code','Digital Fortress' these were the same stories written in different context.And then began my journey of classifying authors.The proposition being 'each author has only one story to tell'.Rest all are transformed,deformed,permuted etc from the one main story the author ever told.
So my fascination for different books by the same author reduced and now i only buy when i think the book has reached sufficient acclamation to be called 'unique'.
