Tribes - I definitely needed this one

If I was a girl and Seth a bachelor (I am actually not sure if he is not), I would be on my way to meet and propose to him. Tribes made me fall in love with Seth Godin, the new business leader. It is fun, motivating, and so simply realistic that my two year old listened to it with rapt attention as I read it loud.

A definite read for everyone and anyone who can spell a in the word a. Seth Godin talks very passionately about challenging the status quo and why now is the right time to bring out the heretic in us. One book that I am going to preserve and read it over and over again. What has been the impact of this book on me. You can see it :)

Prey - Was definitely spine chilling

I have to give it to Michael Crichton for this. I am not a big fan of him and I was apprehensive when I picked this book, but at the end of it, I loved this spine chilling thriller.

My love for computer programming saw a new life when I read this book with a complete new look at how programmers approach solutions. There is a lot of technical jargon in this book, but still manages to have you in rapt attention as you run through the pages. Worth a read, I must say!

Malice - Not bad but can't admit it

When my uncle told me it is a good read, I was thrilled and opened the book with high expectations. Expectations were what did me in. The style is awesome and gave me enough description to vision everything that happens in the book, but throughtout the book, I felt something was missing. When I finished the book, I was happy I did it, and told to myself, it was not a bad read.

Somehow it is better than that, because I am never able to convince myself that it is just a decent read. It is better than that, and on that note, I will give Robert Tanenbaum another try.

Indian Authors Rocking - After Chetan its Ravi now

I am falling for the Indian authors. After Chetan Bhagat, I decided to try Ravi Subramanian's If God Was A Banker, and I have to admit, I loved the book. It's an insider’s fictionalised account of how Indian professionals experience the world of foreign banks, the story spans three continents. Everything was right about the book that lived to my expectation (or even surpassed). Its an excellent read and the story and the print will let you finish the book in a day. I might consider Ravi's other books too :)

5 Point Someone is equally good but...

I finally finished Chetan Bhagat's first book recently and absolutely loved it. So that's the story for now. I started with his recent book and read his publications backwards and finished his first book. Honestly, I loved all of them and for me it is a big thing, because I am a little wary about Indian authors. What I am worried though is if his next book, whenever he plans to write one will be as good as his earlier ones. After reading all the three books, I thought likability was receding with book on book. Will I read his next book? I might give him a chance or might just wait until someone says it is a rocking book :)

One Night @ Call Center

I am kinda liking this guy. After reading his recent book 'The three mistakes of my life,' I wanted to try his previous books and 'one night @ the call center' lived up to my expectations totally. Simple and easy to relate narration makes this novel real fun. What I loved the most about Chetan is expressing the emotions in a language that an Indian can relate while ensuring that the essence is not lost. I moved on to his first book that got him all the acclaim 'five point someone.' Will post my review soon.

3 mistakes of my life

Like I said earlier, I do not pick Indian authors immediately, but am bummed for not picking Chetan Bhagat's books. I heard a lot about five point someone when the book created a roar and then that his second book one night @ call center is being crafted in to a Bollywood movie. However, I never got a taste of his prose until I picked his third book - 3 mistakes of my life, which I must admit made me go an pick his earlier books too. Simple and entertaining are the words that I would use to define this book. Is it a must read, well not exactly, but if you want to be refreshed from the constant foreign lingo pushed on to us by other autors, this is a good read. That said, I am alredy on to his second one :)
