An occasional visit to Barnes and Noble is something that I often look for as one of my pastimes.
They sure have a winning marketing streak ! Anyone with even a faint passion for books can succumb to their strategy and walk out with a couple of books.
In addition to carving out a hole in my [read - husband's] pocket [;)], I often leave with a wishlist of books.
Come what may, I am determined to read the following books during 2008.
- The World is Flat [Thomas Friedman] - currently reading.
- Complications [ Atul Gawande]
- Guns, Germs and Steel [Jared Diamond]
- The Lord of the Rings [J.R.R. Tolkein]
- Shantaram [Gregory David ROberts]
- Blink [Malcolm Gladwell]
- The Tipping Point [Malcolm Gladwell]

Hey Kasturi - atleast it is a natural high - Tapan has much to be thankful for!!
I have read Shantaram, Blink and the Tipping Point and they are pretty good reads (Shantaram is a MUST for any Bombay-ite!) The world is Flat features on my list of Must Reads for this year!
Thanks for visiting my blog - Happy reading!
