More tales about books
So everyone on LJ suddenly seems to be posting about books. Books they have, books they are reading or just finished reading or making resolutions on reading more books. And I am guessing that soon there will be a bunch or two of people who will be saying how they cannot read books and calling people who read a lot of books 'pseudo-intellectuals' :-)
So here goes a list of books I would like to buy and finish off reading by end of this month or so ...
(hint: if you have any of these, I would like to borrow 'em :-D )
Mostly mainstream pulp but what else are brains meant for at past midnight after having hung around in office for the previous 10-12 hours?
But reading stuff like GEB and Foucault's Pendulum is quite good for your health especially as they make you hit the sack harder in a very short time ...
And yes, the Crichton book is available on the street stands given how we value being one of top-most countries with IP rights/piracy/copyright violations issues ...
Oh well, gone are the days when I used to start a book at 12 and continue reading till I finish at 5 am :-(. So, any suggestions on other books which would be a good read?
