ADDITIONS

Iam sure not all of u have forgotten the
list of books, that i had posted a few weeks back..
Time to make a few additions

GUNS OF NAVARONE:A very good book..not as gripping though..
finds a place because its the first work of fiction that
i have read in the e version..Am looking forward to watching the
movie..

FIVEPOINTSOMEONE:The blog gets its name from the book.
Not very good but gripping..here in the list because
1)my blog owes its name to the book
2)the author boasts of IIT/IIM A degrees
3)One of the very few (are there any other ??) books
that talk about life in an engineering college in India..

Comment:if u are an aspiring engineer ,read this book.
if u still want to do engineering ,slog your way to the IITs..

Currently reading:

Catcher in the rye
The mckinsey way
Life of pi


All eversions..so the going is pretty slow..
The mckinsey way is a good read if you are interested in
strategy..I think cathcer in the rye will make an entry into the list
as well...

Authors i want to read in the near future:
Stephen king
agatha christie
sashi tharoor

hmm..that was quite unfair abt gunz of navarone mate.. thats one heck of a book.. esp the complex intricacy of the characters and the camaradrie..
grantd the plotz kinda ordinary..
but mcleanz fiction s much much better than the ordinary run of the mill 'twist' and 'surprise endin' that the sheldons of this era generate routinely..

game 4 a debate r do ya agree??

Am a gr8 fan of alistair maclean myself...it was not that gripping probably coz am not used to reading e books....

am always game for a debate ..but not when its maclean versus the sheldons.....maclean is gr8..i have read a piece of fiction whr team dynamics n camarederie were
described better.....
