Book update (long due)..

Books I read in recent past:

  1. The Old Man and the Sea – Ernest Hemingway
  2. A Tale of the Unexpected (and other stories) – Roald Dahl
  3. Reverse Sweep (Confessions of a Cricket Junkie) – Gautam Bhimani
  4. Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman – Richard P. Feynman
  5. Love Story – Erich Segal
  6. Chariots of the Gods: Was God an Astronaut? – Erich Von Daniken
  7. Phatik Chand – Satyajit Ray
Ones I gave up mid-way:
  1. Who says Elephants Can’t Dance
  2. Freakonomics
  3. Tipping Point
  4. India after Independence: 1947-2003
So I've realized that I can read only fiction (almost). Rest, I take up with a lot of enthu, but give up half way. Not good, not good. Also I am learning to read multiple books at a time. So, the ones I am reading now include: The Amul India Story and Satanic Vxxxxs. I do not name the book as I am told it is illegal to even own a copy bought from another country in India. Really? I am surprised that such a thing would happen in India. It is ok to ban from publication and distribution, but banning reading? Daya. I don't think the information is true. However, I am a law-abiding soul, so shall not name what is not to be named :D
