hehe.. kia yaad dilaya. Which ones did you have? i had only a few, used to bum some off my friends and other places. i had an "Adventures in space" (that was mine, and i LOVED it), a Maya one (in which you were lost in some ancient Mayan site centuries ago), and the third one (it was my sister's) was being lost in an Egyptian musuem, and you were stuck inside at night when the curators et al had all left and you had to find your way out after all the pharoahs etc came to life. Those books were so cool..... i used to cheat and read the endings first, then back-track my way to the beginning. That way you didn't have to die some miserable death in space or in the pyramids :D man i haven't seen those books in Canada for a loooooong time.
[/QUOTE]
:D
I had two space oriented ones. My memory is AWFUL..so even though i used to read a lot of them..theres precious little I can tell about them. I remember the ones I had were clever about it...they used to jumble up the pages so you couldnt really backtrack unless you were truly cracked :).

“Goosebumps” by “R.L. Stine”, I picked up my first copy when I was 14 from the school library, I think it was “Return of the Mummy” and I was hooked on them, some scary ****…
The fear street series by him were good too but not as good as Goosebumps.
For my GCSE English exam I wrote a condensed version of “Return of the Mummy” and I got an A* for it.
I still read ‘em now and then.
I never went to sleep in my childhood unless my sis will make up a story for me and would keep telling it for a long time 
I can never forget Taleem-0 Tarbiat and Phool… these were the only two magazines my mom subscribed for me since I was in second grade 
and then all of my friends were interested in stories too so one of them will buy nonehal… another one will have ankh macholi and then we will end up sharing it * sweet memories
I was never into fairy tales but at my cousins place all I got to do was reading these bachon ki duniya… bachon ka baagh etc.
I remember my dad used to get me story books from Urdu Bazar Lahore and sometimes those would be chain stories and I will cry until I will get the new story book and read the ending.
jang kids section as well as akhbare-jahan kids section… oh well I still read 'em
Treasure Island and gullivers travel were the books my dad made me read and he once said “if she concentrates on her textbooks like she does on gulliver… believe it or not my bachi will be position holder.”
I also read those bajiyun walay digests.. I didn’t like that crap much with plenty of cousins in a story and hero herione always fighting and then ended up marrying eachother … oh well it was a good time pass

so no one else read maut ka taaqub? I always wanted to find out what happened in the end..its been so long i even forgot teh story, would live it if someone can do cliff's notes of the series here.
[/QUOTE]
I read a number of maut ka taaqub series novels. The characters were Amber (who could not die), Naag (who could convert himself into a snake), and Maria (who was invisible). They would travel through time and the journey was full of adventure. I think the series was originally planned to be of 100 novels though I'm not sure if all of them were published or not. Unfortunately, I could not get hold of the last novels, if there were any.
As a side note, the series was written by A. Hameed who has written hundreds of novels for children and more for adults. It is such a pity that a write of his caliber cannot afford his medical treatment. He was seriously ill some days back and I read a column in a newspaper asking for financial support for him. Truly sad....
