Recently read "The dilbert Principle" by scott adams
This book was recommended by a friend .. as a Light TP read.
i ended up liking the book a lot
First 90 % of the book will make a HR policy maker very uneasy
and the rest 105 tells u what to do.
in the end adams has discussed a OA5 model..which really makes sense if u r an employee....
this book is a good read and helps ppl in HR get goood insights about Line Employees

Currently reading "The Namesake" by jhumpa lahiri
her simplicity is her charm.
there is a voice that goes in my head while i read.
its this simple yet a wise voice
its Jl's voice.
its as if she is narrating the story. She does it brilliantly. she describes everything... and not in a boring way.
The story is of a bengali family which leaves india ... settles abroad...
nothing that we don't know about, nothing that we have not read or seen in other movies... yet, JL has made this simple story special by the way she has written it.
i made a mistake today...i was reading it in the afternoon, and took my nap right after it.
dint get a peaceful sleep. i kept dreaming about googol, ashima, description of what i had read.
As if the Jl's audio switched to video...
:shock:

Currently got my hands on khaled Hosseini's "A thousand splendid sun's"
He has a particular way of writing, he doesn't reveal things easily. He makes u read for the first few pages without knowing whats going on and then he slowly untangles the mystery which makes reading a lot of fun.
To know abt the author u can visit, http://www.khaledhosseini.com/
Have finished only 120 or so pages so far. its not as expressive as Jhumpa lahiri, but his style is different and has kept me interested.
will update more later.

hmmm
A lovely book this thousand splendid sun's is.
the story is just tooo tragic.
The way he has written makes u want to leave other things aside and finish the book.... praying and hoping that there is a happy ending.
if u want a light read and don't plan on getting emotionally involved in a story, then this book is definitely not for you.

currently reading Catch 22

Its about this Squadron based in italy somewhere towards the end of the second world war.

The book is hilariously funny. there are close to 30 characters, each has a quirk...

there is one guy who believes that he has flies in his eyes :shock:

there is one who credits his perfect aim to mice, coz he shoots them at night :roll:

one flies above the other guys tent just to scare him...and it works everytime.:twisted:

a segt refuses to remove dead man's body from the tent on the grounds that the dead man didn't exist. :x :x

a colnel despises his son in law(who happens to be working under him) because he doesn't like going to weddings.:roll:



There are many more like these..

my fav character is ofcource "Yosarian"

i am midway, when i started reading this book, i found yosarian annoying and insane.

but as u slowly reach the mid... u realise that yosarian is actually the sanest of them

lets see, will give final review after finishing the book.

To know more about the book,

me again, blabbering away with my books..
hoping someone is reading and will respond
i finished reading - the kite runner
it was due from a very long time
its a very well written book.
its a story which everyone can relate too.
some part of me related to amir, some of it to rahim khan.
i don't know y i end up relating to the dark and emotinal characters ...
i again wish the end would be different, although it was a happy ending,
i wish hassan could meet amir..
that would have been better.... the emotions then would increase and the story wouldn't be this sad
is anyone reading at all?

Hi me again,
one more depserate attempt to invoke some reading habits on citehr.
i have finished reading "The inscrutable americans"
by anurag mathur
the book didn't live upto its hype. my friends loved it. I don't really know whatever for. it was on the similar ABCD lines. nothing new. Reviews suggested it to be a good funny book, but nothing on that lines.
i didn't even laugh once.
and then i read "The witch of Portebello" by the one and only paulo coelho.
it turned out to be nice.
not as good as compared to the alchemist ofcource .. but there was something u can take from the book
is what pulled me towards the book.
Its a goood book to read as long as ur next choice would have been the inscrutable americans
