100+ Reading Challenge

I found this link on Pratibha's blog and said, why not give this a try and let me see how many books I actually do read in a year (since...errr...I am always always reading like a geek :P)

For those who don't know, I also maintain a book review blog and it has been getting harder to maintain it alone, especially with the Formula One season starting. So anyone interested in writing reviews of the good books they read, feel free to drop in and I'll make you a contributor, with pleasure :)

So here's what I've read in 2009 so far:
(Will be continuously updating it)

1)  A Long Way Gone (Ishmael Beah)
2) Man's search for Meaning (Viktor E Frankl)
3) My Revolutions (Hari Kunzru)
4) Moth Smoke (Mohsin Hamid)
5) Notes to Myself (Hugh Prather)
6) The Reader (Bernhard Schlink)
7) The Japanese Wife (Kunal Basu)
8) Descent into Chaos (Ahmed Rashid)
9) Train to Pakistan (Khushwant Singh)
10) Wise and Otherwise (Sudha Murthy)
11) Tuesdays with Morrie (Mitch Albom)
12) Five People You Meet in Heaven (Mitch Albom)
13)
14)
15)

    Me moron has lot of time to read...and not justifying myself...yeah showing off + the challenge requires a blogpost which needs details.

    Tum to kaam-kaaji aadmi ho...fir bhi itna padh lete ho, badi baat hai. You are the only CA i know who reads books other than "Investor today" types :P

  1. SMRITI said...:

    @Yamini

    Yep yamini...soooo true...the same happened to me during my college days, hardly had time to read. In fact i must hv read like 15 books in 3 years, thats it.

    @Nancy

    Oh I'd like to read that...dunno why I am mighty impressed by him.

    And yeah, did show all the comments to my sister...she wasnt very pleased that I blogged about it and made her misery public. Apparently, she had just finished reading a book 2 days ago and was feeling quite cheery when i butted in and ruined it all for her :P
