- To kill a mockingbird By Harper Lee (***)- It's an overly hyped novel and i could not understand practical purpose of its name. A good story non-the-less, that engages you. It's a tale of two young kids who grow to the realities of the world following and often revolting against the disciplined and moral upbringing by their father. It has lessons.
- India Unbound By Gurcharan Das (****)- One of the best novels i've ever read in all categories. I salute Mr. Das for so succinctly briefing the journey of modern India from pre to post independance days.... from Statism to Market economy, from Nehruvian era to Rao-Manmohan-Chidambaram combination market economics. This book is best read after one has understood the fundamental differences of Keynesian and Freidman economics.
- If God was a Banker By Ravi S (**1/2) - Hmmm... was this a Hindi flick i was watching! A good novel by a first time writer who, i guess, wishes to be a movie director. It talks about the different approaches two highly educated bankers take to make their careers in Retail division of an International bank. It's a good read for budding managers.
This is all for Jan... i'm getting on to another pupular book named Wealth of nations Vol I By Adam Smith. I wish to complete it.
