What are you reading?

We only have the first edition at the office library. :( I've finished about 120 pages, and I like it.

Cheers, Vikram.

"A Great Improvisation". I bought it at LAX, for the flight. It's OK, but the amount of detail makes it suffer, IMO. I don't care so much whose nephew Franklin played with, a broader brush stroke would give me a clearer picture, IMO. It's interesting to me how much the US owes it's independence to France, however.

That is a great book. If I am ever in the position of hiring anyone, they will always get a copy of that book.

I've been reading Grisham novels lately. I read really fast so I go through one in a day or two. Pretty good stuff.

I have just finished reading Atlas Shrugged[^] A lot dramatic and very long, but in essence it advocates the idea of objective reasoning. I liked the book, although certain ideas are stretched too much in the book. So far I have read Standing Alone in Mecca[^] Engaging India[^] Da Vinci Code[^] Alchemist[^] and few others this year. And offcourse I spend some time with tech books too. But i generally never go through the tech books from start to end. They are generally for reference or some intersting topics. I have just started reading Who says elephants can't dance?[^] Ankita

This is on my reading list. I remember reading The Blink Watchmake[^] a few years ago. Fantastic book, but I remember finding it really hard to follow. Sometimes I had to re-read entire chapters to digest the information.

After finishing Ian M. Banks Excession[^], I dug out and is re-reading The Wasp Factory[^]. When I've finished that, I'll move on to A Scanner Darkly[^], hopefully finishing in time for the movie to be released.
