Me reading Bryan Burrough's Dragonfly...:cool2:

Its a real life story about the worst fire accident ever encountered by mankind in space onboard MIR.. with the Russians and Americans locked in the tussle and the ensuing blame game..its a miracle tht nobody died.
 
Good thread..Maybe if it picks pace, it can be *stickied* !

PS: I'm hoping to get ideas here as to what to read..I haven't read a book in ages (apart from those course books..ahhh..actually not those too :P ) !
 
Currently reading "Just Rewards" By Barbara Bradford...its a saga of 6 books,im on the fifth one!

Its about a Legacy started by a maid, Emma Harte, who worked hard to become the richest woman in the world and how her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren are now doing their best to let the business flourish as it always has!!! You do learn some lessons in life and some tricks in business there!!! :D

Hey thanks....how i wish you were in india now..lol :ohyeah: :P

Well as for reading PDFs, apart from the 7 hrs of sleep, i spend the rest of the day in front of the monitor..:P Be it at home or work..and since i cant take my eyes off the monitor, i have to make do with PDFs..lol..

Btw, yes..i have read Memoirs of Geisha..it was good..but yeah, a bit boring in parts..:hap5: No idea about the 'rice mother' though..:ashamed:

Basically i'm more into political conspiracies, covert intelligence operations novels..both fictional and real..that is why i like novels by Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy..they write some hard hitting stuff..and make me realize the bad bad politics behind the world's biggest powers..:ohyeah:

OT: Finally we have some girls in our forum..:D Many people come and go..but our longest standing female member is Blue Diamond..Hope you too enjoy your stay here..:)

Hey buddy..reading PDFs on computer is understood..but reading all books on Mobile screen....:S :S :O :O Now even i have to say, how do you do that..:P

Btw, one of my friend has this habit too..he reads all his books on his Ngage QD...n i keep asking him the same question...how do you do that?? :P
 
Threw The Icarus Agenda by Robert Ludlum in the evening, the book was fine in the first parts somewhat, but then it got to parts i just found too boring and left it. Dunno if the drab boring stuff continues or not, I neither want to tolerate it nor do I want to skip pages :P

dont know about others but i fing reading on the mobile as a good way to catch up on reading.

BTW i use this setting (white text on black background-which does not hurt the eyes as much as the opposite configuration qould.)

Man, i work as a accountant (part-time, its been only a month), which means that im in front of the computer all day, but lately ive been having a strange pain in my eyes, and tears come into my eyes just like that...i had to sleep for more than 12hours for it to go, but now and then, i still do feel the pain!!! :( :(
Im actually on an 8 month holiday :holiday: and when i used to stay at home, i could wake up, go directly in front of the computer, spend more than 2hours, then ill brush my teeth and have breakfast!!! :ohyeah: That was a cool life!!! :cool: :holiday:

About books, have you checked out Son of Fortune by Jeffrey Arthur?! if not, then make it a must to buy or download it..its an extraordinary well-written masterpiece!!!
