A Bookworm's Diet

February 26th 2006

An update on the books I have read since my last update :-

• Blink by Malcolm Gladwell (Good read)


• The Tommyknockers by Stephen King (Typical King)


• The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde


• Peter Pan by J M Barrie (Wonderful writing - most of the incidents seem metaphorical, providing different interpretations for children & adults)


• The Lord Of The Rings by J R R Tolkien (Tolkien IS God :-))


• Under the Radar - How Red Hat Changed the Software Business & Took Microsoft by Surprise - by Robert Young (CEO of Red Hat) & Wendy Goldman Rohm (Incoherent flow, bad editing & at times, the writing stinks too. The best part of the book was the section in the Appendix on 'Understanding the IPO Process')


• State of Fear by Michael Crichton (Pretty good. Enormous amounts of data dished out at times. Hurried ending)


• The Hobbit by J R R Tolkien (second reading)


• The Complete Adventures of Feluda - Volume 1 by Satyajit Ray (Translated by Gopa Majumdar) (Positively brilliant. More in another post)

Currently reading :-

• The Complete Adventures of Feluda - Volume 2 by Satyajit Ray (Translated by Gopa Majumdar)
