Here goes :
Read in recent times:
Interview with the vampire : As poetic as a gory vampire story can get.
Coming up for air: Typical sublime Orwell classic.How we all strive for our childhood and want to re live it but alas can't do it in reality/totality
Vernon God little : Truly deserved the prize. Sarcastic,taunting and darkly humorous. A hint of Salinger is evident.
The fist of God: As good a war novel as it gets told in the fluent Foresyth style.
Making History : The context was enticing but Stephen Fry is disappointing as an author in this one
Fault lines: Well researched with clear arguments. Rajan proving his mettle as an economist.
Fooled by Randomness : A jewel of a book. Can't seem to have enough praises for this one.
Ascent of Money : Hugely informative and gripping narrative. A must read for all lovers of finance.
Kafka on the shore : The best magical realism/surrealism work i have ever read. It's not a book, it's more of an experience where you transcend reality and venture into a strange new world which vaguely feels familiar. And Murakami was right that one needs to read the book many times to unravel the mystery. Well, i am game \m/
Stumbling on Happiness : A must read for anyone with even a hint of curiosity/interest/enthusiasm about psychology, human behavior and the mind.
Currently Reading :
100 years of solitude : Magical and fantastic as Garcia Marquez always is. But it kind of gets repetitive after a while.
A guinea pig's history of Biology : Looks really promising :)
Wish List :
Surely you are joking Mr Feynman
