Random Post : Read List - Books to Read

Another incoherent post of mine. Nothing great in post body so read no further, to save some time.

An year (10 months to be precise) has gone by since Chennai lost its last wicket to Bangalore and I am definitely not talking about IPL. IPL is just waste of time according to me.

To put fact straight, I did missed Chennai some time and solely because of the library near to my PG which provided books at cheap and best rental price. And yes do miss the cribbing against Chennai sitting with friends at apartment in Chennai, but that's altogether a different story, we can very well crib even while sitting in Bangalore.

Something wrong with me for sure, what I am talking here.  Coming to point, I got hold of a library near to my place in Bangalore some 10 months back and after 55 magazines and 63 books issued on card I thought of putting the read-list on my page. Have highlighted the good books for my readers so that this visit won't be a utter waste provided you like reading book, otherwise undoubtedly visit will prove to be a wasted affair.

Not sure why the extract ran on the library portal returned repeated entries but suppose some different books may have been issued as library never allow re-issue of the book.

Now in another 2 months time when I will be forced to read or shall I say fed with some other books at IIM Bangalore, I  am verge of closing my library account. Or possibly will wait till i will get screwed at IIMB over reading trivial stuff. Leaving the decision for future. I have gone greedy in the end and have set target for remaining 2 months of membership  to read a minimum of 3000 pages. Lets see how it goes. Most of these reading were done during my 2.5 hour of horrible daily travel to my office and if the book was good then sometime at home or during weekend.

Library are indeed good thing, you get to pick books which you would have never picked in normal circumstances.

To be continued..
