1259 Who says elephants cant dance?
Lou Gerstner's insightful book on how he led the transformation of IBM from a failing giant into a software services powerhouse; specially the section on Learnings. Reading this more than 10 years after it was written was a little surreal though - even with all the changes that were put in, nothing much seems to have changed ; and , I should know, since I work here!
1260 The Hours
Nicely written novel - now I should just read mrs dalloway!
1261 Fortysomething
If this is supposed to be British humour.. Completely avoidable - perhaps because its only meant for the average Brit middle age male?? Forget laughing..it was just a grimace all the way through.
1262 The Invisibles
A look into the hidden world of the Indian hijdas?? Should have been good but its all hearsay with each character contradicting the previous one specially regarding the "customs" of the hijdas.. I ended up getting more confused than I was before.
1263 The Watchmen by Alan Moore
Amazing stuff! This has been on my wishlist for a longtime and it certainly exceeded my expectations. No wonder it completely changed the superhero comic for ever.
Indian strife, Chinese revolution..
Archives complete, I am going to try and add a little personal opinion to each entry ;-)
1257 Blood Brothers by MJ Akbar
A half-fiction/half memoir account of 3 generations of his own family, MJ Akbar shows the deep links between Hindus and Muslims and how events strove to divide the communities - While its good reading, I feel the problem is that its not sweeping enough to be an epic - at the same time, its not too detailed even on the charcters he focuses on , more like a collection of anecdotes..
for instance, theres this one abt every Friday at some club being POETS day - thats Piss Off Early, Tomorrow's Saturday.. :-)
1258 Mao : the unknown story by Jung Chang
How I wish this was fiction! The unvarnished true story of Mao reveals a pure monster of a man; who with no regard for the human cost of achieving his goals caused the death of roughly 70 million Chinese. India and Indian politicians seem saints in contrast. should be compulsory reading for all our Communist diehards.
onto next week...
