Armchair BEA Introductions

Armchair BEA has started and it's time for introductions.
Please tell us a little bit about yourself: Who are you? How long have you been blogging? Why did you get into blogging?

I am Srivalli. Everyone I know have always called me Valli. My blogger profile says I am blogging from October 2007 and my first post is in April 2007. I had a few blogs before that but I was not good at remembering all those fancy names, so finally decided on using my name as url.
I wanted to keep track of books I am reading. If I like an author, I try to read all the books by the author, at some point I am not sure if I have read a book or not. A short synopsis and my views will help me remember.

What are you currently reading, or what is your favorite book you have read so far in 2012?
I am reading Nicola Upson's An Expert in Murder. My favourite book so far in 2012 is Candide by Voltaire.

What is your favorite feature on your blog (i.e. author interviews, memes, something specific to your blog)?
I like participating in weekly Memes. Especially the Friday Book Beginnings and Friday 56.

Where do you see your blog in five years?
I don't really have a five year plan. I will be reading as much or probably more and writing about books I read.

If you could eat dinner with any author or character, who would it be and why?
With Ruth Rendell, but I would be too... I don't know what to either talk or eat. Why Ruth Rendell? Because I love her books.

What literary location would you most like to visit? Why?

I would like to visit Middle Earth especially Morodor. Why? I am completely fascinated by Middle-Earth and its inhabitants. I would like to see the volcano where the Ring was destroyed.
