A Bookworm's Diet

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)
