Books Books Books

Since my childhood I have always hated books more than anything. I was always a very good listener but never a good reader. I use to hear from others about what they are reading and then use to talk about this in front of other people.Giving a false impression to them that i just love books. :) [Its all about marketing yourself]

Some where during my MBA days, Vishu [My best friend] gave me a book to read "Five Point Someone". Surprisingly I read the whole book. And finally I could proudly say to myself that yes I have read one book completely from first page to the last.Thanks to Chetan Bhagat, the author to write such good book. After that I some how managed to keep my habit alive but the second complete reading came only a year later with Chetan Bhagats second book "One night @ the call center". Not many people liked the book, but I loved that one. And since then i have managed to keep this habit alive. For the past year and half, I have read a lot of books. It may not be a great thing but for me it's an achievement. :) Just a summary of the books that I have read so far.
