Books I have read in the last 3 months!

Posted by: boshu on: December 17, 2008

For the last 3 months, my only reliable source of entertainment has been books from my institute library. The experience takes me back a few years because I had lost the practice of borrowing books from a library and reading a few years back.

Now, I feel the same peace I felt during my peaceful years of existence.

Coming to the books I read:

1) It’s not about the Bike by Lance Anderson:

   This is the autobiography of Lance Amstrong, the cyclist. It is a story of a man who has founght against many difficult odds in life and can inspire a reader to be ready to face life the way it is.

2) Google Story : I didn’t finish this book. the first chapters talk about Larry Page and Sergey Brin. No comments beyond this.
 

3) The last lecture: i liked this book. I finished reading it in one day. Actually I got my hands on this book before it coould be donated to the library.
 

4) Salt and Sawdust: My favourite author, R.K.Narayan is the author of this story which is a part of a larger collection. I loved the story. I kept smiling for a few days after reading this.
5) Brahmins and Bungalows: This book is not about brahmins, it is a travalogue by a partially Indian Author( I mean her origin). I like the book because it talks about Bangalore and Mysore. Even otherwise the book makes a good read because the author takes you to a different world. My only complaint is the bias of the author towards Europeans throughout the book.

List to be updated soon
