Books I Want to Read - Part I

As a bibliophile I always want to have lots of books. And even if I could realize this dream once, due to unavoidable reasons I could not keep the books to myself forever. In future I may not be able to remember the names of almost all the books I had or wanted to read. So from now on I will regularly write down the names of some books in the blog, which I want to buy and read in the future. Among them, names of few books and brief information are given below-
