Im reading Pinki Virani's True Account of a Rape Victim. And it is a horrifying account, of the helplessness, trauma of the victim. DSeserted by her immediate family and taken care of by the hsopital where she worked as a staff nurse.

Hemal Trivedi | | I am currently reading "Demons of Chitrakut" by Ashok Banker. This is the thrid in the Ramayana series and a wonderful compilation of all the different versions of the Ramayana. Truly a marvellous delight for someone who knows the thin line between fiction and mythology. I have read the earlier two books, "The Prince of Ayodhya" and the "The Siege of Mithila". they are very addictive and a must read. Private Reply to Hemal Trivedi |

les ombres de bleu | | I would definitely recommend
'Boyhood' by Coetzee {Author is The Nobel Prize winner. He won the Booker twice, I guess}
this book is an adult's memoir of an unhappy childhood and a white South African's memoir of life under apartheid.
A crystal clear articulation from the child's mouth, his poignant observations on the life around him, and his ardent love layered with insecurity for his mother, the idea of perfection about his mom ...set against the unhappy period in Coetzee's childhood, when his family had moved from Cape Town to the decidedly more backward Worcester. ..
As children we tend to take sides,we tend to develop inclination towards specific countries (I used to tell my friends that am from Russia, when I was in the 4th class)
.....the boy's instinctive stance against certain cultures that has less to do with ethics than with that sense of style/the feel factor
Coetzee chooses the Russians "because he likes the letter r, particularly the capital R, the strongest of all the letters."
very truthful and poignant. read this book for its style (as it takes one back to the childhood...there's a phase in our childhood, we get conscious of our nakedness..Calvin screams at his mom when she steps into the bath...we would have done that! that awakening and the BIG BOY/BIG GIRL FLAVOUR}
I decided to gift this book to all my close friends...
I felt this book is a lot better than DISGRACE-the Nobel prize winner from this great author

Vincent Sunder | | Starting to read "The Undercover Economist" by Tim Harford. Interesting start, and promises to be a good read. Will post more once I finish.
Last read Lee Child's 'One Shot' - travel reading since got too tired with the heavy reading of 'Search' (Google).
Lee Child's thriller book was excellent. Pacy, well written and very convincing too. Picked a few more of his books on return to home.

I actually have this habit of picking up 'long-shot' books which may or may not turn up to be great.this was one of them.one more was 'the rise and fall of the luftwaffe'- amazingly written book with none of the text-bookish semi-docu style.

Vardhan Walavalkar | | Currently reading-
Yuganta (Irawati Karve) - an exploration of the characters in Mahabharata like no other (recommended, even if you never really read the mahabharata) - published first in 1967 - the author got a doctorate in anthropology from Berlin univ (in german) in 1928 which I think is a feat!
Mans search for meaning - Viktor Frankl (holocaust victim narrating his experiences from Auchwitz) - described how inner spiritial and moral strength helps one endure when everything one has believed in the world is lost, the deepest desire of a man is his search for meaning
India Unbound - Gurcharan Das
Also started with
Neitzche's "Will to power - attempt at a reevaluation of all values"
Jorge Luis Borges' "Labyrinths - a collection of short stories".
In the pipeline is Maugham's "Of human bondage"

Tetka Rhu | | Cosmic Paws is the last book I read. A friend of mine wrote it. The innocence of my inner child totally got involved and I couldn't put the book down. ( I am a big kid at heart).
Best thing is the most incredible marketing plan involved which has been created as a win/win situation fo ALL.
Go to my website and click on the banner, check it out for your self.
Individuals and communities alike will benefit.
"The cats are networking" - Love it
My official testimonial
Cosmic Paws is a must read. I sat enthralled as a (55yr old 'child') as James and Tashie had the adventure of a lifetime. This story is filled with intrigue, mystery and spirituality, yet opens your heart to the Paws Network, who gives their services so willingly for Peace and Harmony within the world. I recommend Cosmic Paws highly to all those who want to connect to their Child within. AND I know my Grandchildren will love the story, as much as I did.

K10,
one thing, I found, very interesting..as book lovers, we tend to get seduced by new books/titles or some other title as uttered by a friend or a colleague
n we skip the book what we currently reading and move to the new bait
I have to get back to this gorgeous book 'Freakonomics" by A Rogue Economist ...a forceful storytelling and wry insight, Levitt and co-author Stephen J. Dubner show
....Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? How much do parents really matter? What kind of impact did Roe v. Wade have on violent crime? ... not typical a set of questions for an economist to ask.....
Steven D. Levitt is a much-heralded young scholar who studies the riddles of everyday life-from cheating and crime to sports and child-rearing ...
one should read this book!

les ombres de bleu | | A few tiny little books, I always love to sit with...
"Tipping Point – Malcolm Gladwell {Management/Non-F}
=====================================================
The Tipping point, as the name implies, is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire.
This book’s all about how seemingly small insignificant changes dramatically changes the whole situation, how they can make a big difference. ..one such case study is : the Police chief of NY bringing down the crime rate in Subways by merely making sure “NO graffiti” was allowed ever to stay on Trains for more than 2 hours. The seemingly small change created an impression that things were in control, the whole system was running efficiently and as a result of this enhanced perceptions, there was a dip in crime
incidents.….
It also dwells upon the "self organizing networks", the ability of individuals to form relationships and self -organize around shared interests, with a few acting like "hubs", who happens to posses this knack of knowing, maintaining consistent interaction with a large no. Of individuals and being the essential component in spreading information…..ranging from computer networks to social groups. An interesting phenomenon (Hush Puppies, suddenly a rage!) on how a set of individuals, unconsciously defines fads and spread the same, termed as "cool cats or
cool hunters"…dwelling on Social network more as a mix of sociological n psychological trend, aimed at the “need to belong to a community", "a sense of
affinity", which draws an aspirational value.
@Love Marks – Kevin Roberts {Advertising/Non-F}
=================================================
Written by the CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide, who says, Brand names are out, Love Marks are in! Love-Marks, an element of sensuality and mystery, and touch on the deepest human desires. It’s a love affair between the brand and the consumer. It’s about creating an emotional hook around the brand, which is more a humanoid and relatable term. Products/Services are branded to create differentiation and provide an aspirational value to the consumer..Don’t you feel the difference between wearing Nike and a local brand of sneakers? How to reinforce the emotional value/experiential value around the brand? Brands should transcend their existence and to become the “lovemarks” in one’s life
Something that’s closer to us, Santro is the Sunshine car, “Sunshine” is the lovemark and it carries many more renditions to the consumer and differentiates the brand from others in his mind space...the brightness, the youthfulness, the fresh approach to life, being peppy!
Lovemarks – simply is the future beyond brands, the inspiration behind the idea!
The book is Sporty and Edgy in terms of its language, tone; full of warmth, unlike most Management/Advertising books who tend to be preachy and cold (clinical, would say)
@To Kill A Mocking Bird - Harper Lee (Fiction}
================================================
One of the perennial classics, which portrays a child’s view of her world, a lilting journal of her child hood! This classic is an experience, I’d never get bored of!
It carries such a rich aura of chilhood’s innocence, and I thought this book’s all about a few kids and the cluster of trees in their backyard and their observation on the Mocking bird {this was before I could read the excerpt!}
Don’t know why I always feel like seeing or touching this book when I am depressed ! such an indelible mark it’d left on me ..am sure on most us !
I used to reiterate the theme all the time, “Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird". It’s truly a celebration of childhood innocence and its coming-of-age {the secrets of childhood and the pangs of growing up!}
Humorously written an exploration of the conscience and irrationality of adult behavior in a racially divided society through the child’s eyes..
Endearing are those childhood memories, fantasies, curiosities {the mystery man Boo Radley) and the tiny treasures they get as part of their play. Its about the child, who keeps discovering her dad’s talents and there begins the “hero worship!, she and her Atticus", the child’s admiration for her dad’s struggle for justice!

les ombres de bleu | | when your business travel gets too much for you, too maddening for you to desist, I suggest you : carry PG Wodehouse with you, ths great legend keeps you in equilibrium
am currently reading the brilliant Anthology :
What Ho! - The Best of PG Wodehouse
and must say it's riotous!
he said 'I believe there are two ways of writing novels. One is mine, making a sort of musical comedy without music and ignoring the real life altogether; the other is going right deep down into life and not caring a damn"
This great writer who defies superlatives and gentle writing..he says a life/childhood that was as normal as rice pudding is worse than the life that consisted of little more than 'sitting in front of the typewriter and cursing a bit...'
those who read or read PG...well,sure have had a riotous series of laughter n thereafter chuckles whenever that spring of memory rises its steely head again...the reader, you live and throb with PG Wodehouse, he enables you to create the characters and the varied situation
so what you have ...a rich cocktail of Jeeves, Blandings, the Drones, Psmith, Ukridge etc etc...
I vehemently suggest this to the child who is incarcerated in each one of you

Madiz | | A fabulous collection there. thanks for starting this thread again. I was just wondering what to get next.
I loved Shantaram... you are right not only was i unable to put it down but i started it again right away :)
I've just finished The Namesake - Jhumpa Lahiri
The Twentieth Wife - Indu Sunderesan
One Hundred Shades of White - Preeti Nair.
All really nice. 20th wife and 100 Shades very women oriented kinda books. They make u feel very special being a woman :)
Jyo - I love your all personal collection. I've read most of them. I think Salman Rushdie is one of my all time favourites.
Has anyone read any of Rohinton Mistry? He's got a few good books.Private Reply to Madiz |

les ombres de bleu | | Hi Madhavi
thank you. I did read most of Salman Rushdie's creations.
The book that remained close to my heart is, the Booker Prize winner , Midnight's Children.
It's a Reader's delight. The bliss of one's childhood, a child's introspection was woven into an extraordinary and kaleidoscopic tale...
the true spell of Mumbai came alive through the eyes of Saleem, born at the stroke of midnight August 13, 1947, the moment of Indian Independence from Britain. No other book came closer to this in delineating Mumbai in its purest magical form. I find self being intrigued by the city, the merriment, the struggle, the pathos, the verve the city embodies
The book was a magical trip for me....
Rohinton Mistry : I read 'Family Matters'...

Madiz | | Hey Jyo :)
Try Rohinton Mistry's Fine Balance. Its an amazing book and just goes deep down inside you and kind of settles there... if you know what i mean :) I've never been able to bring myself to pick it up a second time coz i found it too emotional. I know I'll get around to it sometime.

you meant 'Nabokov's Lolita'. Lolita, both vilified and lauded classic! when I read it first time, I was intoxicated by the intensity of his expression...a marvellous adventure by the non-english writer...I felt was being drugged by the fiery and intensely ornated beauty of english, say, for instance, 'FENUVIAN spirit'. decorous being the necessary evil!
Nabokov is finessingly cruel. He shocks the reader with his views and vivid descriptions of the emotion as being portrayed at that moment.

Dharmaraj Mungoore | | Hi,
Thanks folks for the books recommended in the thread here...
I wholeheartedly recommend Freakonomics and The Tipping Point.
Then there's Bill Bryson's "A short history of nearly everything". A treatise of the Big Bang, how the universe evolved over the past million years. Very interesting..
And then there's "Its not about Bike" a biography of Lance Armstrong who won the Tour De France six times after his fight against cancer.
Anyone want to learn about cryptography its history and recent developments. You should lay your hands on two books. One is by Simon Singh - "The Code Book". His book traces the history of secret codes, ciphers, modern cryptologic methods.....
While the second book "In Code" by Sarah Flannery who while still in her teens proposed a better cryptology methodology than what was in existence - the RSA. A bit of math yes but its also her journey towards discovery, her fears/trepidations and personal triumph that makes this book an interesting read.
Enjoy!
- Dharma

les ombres de bleu | | True Dharma...
Bill Bryson's "A short history of nearly everything" is stylishly written a journey into the the most intriguing and consequential questions that the world seeks to answer
what sets him apart is that his genuine intention to reiterate what we know but to find out how we know it. I found it very insightful. well, my comments on Freako....are aforedelineated

Rajeev Goenka. | | Just came across this post,so here goes:
Books have read receantly:
-Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist" ---simply awesome
though his "Eleven Minutes"is very different from his usual style.
-"World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman.
So very apt in today's time.Must read.
-"Freedom in Exile" -Autobiography of the Dalai Lama.
You see a very different culture through this book.
Currently on "Smart Investing" in the Rich Dad Poor Dad series...Anyone else read these books..?
