Books I read in 2010 ...

I read a lot, and I hear a lot from people who say I don't go anywhere without a book, and get restless when I don't have one to read. Anyways, a conversation with my brother gave me this thought and so I listed the books I read last year.

The Great Indian Novel - Shashi Tharoor
India after Gandhi - Ramachandra Guha
If God was a Banker - Ravi subramaniam
Into the wild - Jon Krakauer
Devil in pinstripes - Ravi subramaniam
Keep off the grass - Karan Bajaj
The White Tiger - Aravind Adiga
Johnny gone down - Karan Bajaj
Dork : The Incredible Adventures of Robin 'Einstein' Varghese - Sidin Vadukut
Freakonomics - Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner
2 States - Chetan Bhagat
Yes Minister - Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn
The Professional - Subroto Bagchi
Into thin air - by Jon Krakauer
It happened in India - Kishore Biyani and Dipayan Baishya
The Inscrutable Americans - Anurag Mathur
Of Course I Love You. . ! : Till I Find Someone - Durjoy Datta
A Romance With Chaos - Nishant Kaushik
India: From Midnight to the Millennium and Beyond - Shashi Tharoor
Kane and Abel - Jeffrey Archer (continued from 2009)
First among equals - Jeffrey Archer
Not a penny more, not a penny less - Jeffrey Archer


It is amusing to look back at this list. For example, I recall how I could actually feel Jeffrey Archer evolve as an author as I read his 3 novels back to back. And then there were a bunch of Novels that got published due to what I call "The Chetan Bhagat Effect". There were others mammoth ones, Like India After Gandhi and The Great India Novel. And few like The Inscrutable Americans which belonged to the immediate post liberalization era, but are not so relevant anymore. And Yes Minister, which was a second read (first was in college courtesy Bhowmik)


Now that I have listed these, I realize I do read a lot. Well, it continues ..
For 2011, I have already read The Wizard of Oz and am currently reading India Unbound.


My Bookmark has this lovely comment on it:
"Never judge a book by its movie"


I guess thats a good point to conclude this post.
