Off late I have been traversing this thread and I find quite a good number of books which puys enjoy reading and suggest others.

I am in the process of reading The Art Of Choosing by Sheena Iyengar.

I don't remember if I have recommended this book here or not. I read this about an year back and I was deeply affected by it.



Here are few lines from the wiki profile of the author

Sheena Iyengar was born in Toronto, Canada in 1969. Her parents had emigrated there from Delhi, India.
...........................
When Iyengar was three years old, she was diagnosed with a rare form of retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited disease of retinal degeneration. By 6th grade, Iyengar had lost the ability to read, and by 11th grade, she had lost her sight entirely and could only perceive light. Iyengars life had also taken another turn in high school; when she was 13, her father died of a heart attack.

I found the above fact very intriguing and it played a part in making me finally picking up the book.

The thing that I remember most from the book is a passage where she has written about a person's personality traits and behavior. While reading this passage I got the feel as if it has been written exclusively for me and as if she is talking about my very own personality. A little spooky, huh?

This will be an extremely eventful ride for everyone especially those who have not already read any of the behavioral gurus like Gladwell, Ariely or Tim Harford.

I can't emphasis enough how precious this one is to me

Some people have excuses and some have a story, I chose to have story.

Got this book a few days back and just got the chance to read a few pages



The look of the book is amazing and I felt elated even when I saw it and felt it in my hands for the first time. That feeling was something

Apart from that the sneak peek looks interesting. The book seems to have many illustration which will (hopefully) hold the readers imagination. :clap:

I am not much acquainted with the epic Mahabharata and that was the prime reason that I bought this one. I have seen/heard the stories from various sources but this will be the first chance to read about it in entirety.

Taking in account the subject covered in this book and it's look this one seemed to be a bargain and it's indispensable for any book lovers collection.

Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.

Got this book from Amazon today, it's out of print. Amazing book, highly recommended:

Done with RAfA : MY STORY the autobiography of great Rafael Nadal.

I think it's a little premature to write Nadal's biography. He still has a lot of days ahead and his character has yet to take some turns.

I have read Open by Andre Agasi and even though I am not an ardent tennis follower, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended for every tennis lover.

I am looking for an autobiography of any cricket related personality. Have watched the game since aeon and still haven't read anything about it Any suggestions?
