Pure masala, but great fun. I've seen this book on library shelves for a
long time, but somehow didn't pick it up.
- Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson
-
Finally reading the book, having only read the comic version in my
school days. Well worth the read, I can see why this is a classic.
- Great Expectations, Charles Dickens
- Yowza - another classic that was just waiting to be read. Pip is an
idiot, and its amazing how little things have changed across centuries -
there are too many Pips around.
- Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software, Charles Petzold
- Nice book for budding computer/electronics engineers. The first 80%
is very nice, but the author tries to cover too much ground in the last
few chapters.
- A Farewell to Arms, Ernest Hemmingway
-
- A Tale Of Two Cities, Charles Dickens
- I wish I had read this before! The build up to the climax sent
shivers down my spine, and the writing is excellent throughout.
- The Inimitable Jeeves, P. G. Wodehouse
-
- The Old Man And The Sea, Ernest Hemmingway
-
- For Whom The Bell Tolls, Ernest Hemmingway
-

-
- Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, Daniel Pink
-
- Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics, John Derbyshire
-
The math presentation was too simplistic, with the end result that I didn't understand much of it. However, there was enough here to help me appreciate
the whole brouhaha about the Riemann Hypothesis
- Swami Vivekananda: A Biography, Swami Nikhilananda
-
This is an abridged version that I finally got around to reading after nearly two years. The writing is (ofcourse) a bit hagiographic, but what a man!
