New Delhi: A biography of actor Shah Rukh Khan expands the acronym of his name, SRK, to Still Reading Khan - it's no secret that the 50-year-old star is an informed and voracious reader, in an industry where 'reading' is often restricted to film scripts. On Twitter, SRK has allowed us sporadic access to his book list, sometimes applying quotes to his own life. His latest book-related post quotes Alice In Wonderland, which thrills our Carroll-loving hearts no end.

In the book, Alice navigates the strange and unexpected Wonderland and is helped on her way by several characters like the Cheshire Cat, who gives her this piece of advice when she comes to a fork in the road.
