List of Tamil Books !!

[Charles Peri]

Hi all,
I would like to compile a list of Tamil books which are worth collecting.
The books can be of any category - poetry, novel, short stories, childrens
book etc. Please
post in this newsgroup with the title of the book which you consider to be
worth
collecting and if possible include the author's name, and the category or
any short info on the book. I will try to post the final list to this
newsgroup and may be it should posted in some Tamil Literature website !!!

Thanks,
Charles Peri

Please try read the works written by Rajanarayanan, Janakiraman, Inra
parthasarathy, Poorani, Thoppil muhamathu meeran, Espo, Danial, Pavannan,
..and many other tamil writers living in many parts of the world.

Jeyakanthan is infact a great writer. I don't dispute with that fact. That is
true. By reading other modern writers' works, you increase your knowledge.

"Jeyakanthan- before 80's" was a great writer; But, I can not agree the
same about the quality of "Jeyakanthan- after 80's"s works(?). There, I
can see an opportunist and loser who just tries to sell out his past
glory with the 'Creativity dryness.'
(In my point of view,) Athavan, Sundra Ramaswamy, to an extent Rajam
Krishnan and Ambai are some of the others can be included into this MTL
writers' list.

You see, What a nice day in front of you!
Enjoy it.

Let me suggest a list of authors who have made excellent contribution to
tamil literature. You may try their books from Inthinai pathipagam,
kavya, ot tamil literarary soicity.

Puthumai pitthan, Vanna Nilavan, Vanna dasan, Pazhamalai,
Ki.Rajanarayanan, Konangi, Samayavel, vikramathithyan, Prumil sivaram,
Murugan, suyambulingam, mu.venkatram. Some of the writers suggested by
other postings are not that special. I am sending a sample story by
pudumai pitthan(in English).

Senthil Kumar.
