1. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey
This book was below expectations. It's full of typical theory and I found it quite boring.
Finished: 8th September 2009

2. The Prophet by Khalil Gibran
A fantastic book. A must read for everyone.
Finished: 14th September 2009

3. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
I think this one is quite over hyped. I found the story mundane & just a good time pass.
Finished: 23rd September 2009
★ ★ ★
4. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez
It's a popular book & I loved Marquez's style of portraying things. The book fails at only one point, that is the complexity of names. It was tough to remember all the similar sounding names.
★ ★ ★
Finished: 6th Oct, 2009
5. The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch
I just loved the book. It's a true story of the author (Randy Paush) who suffers from Pancreatic cancer. He died in 2008 due to the same. I recommend this book to each one of you reading this review. I'm sure you won't put it down till the end (Till you have your eyes wet).

6. The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga
I loved the narration of Aravind Adiga. It's a must read for people who want to have idea about the rural India.
