Book Tagging !

For Carnivas , who made me do this :

Total Number of Books I Own : Hmm...must be around 100 i guess. This includes all the techie books which helps me to run the rat race conducted by Microsoft , some impulsive buys which i never got a chance to read and some gud ones which i bought after i had already read them elsewhere.

Last book i bought : 51 Stock Trading Tips. Bought when i had been to Landmark @ Forum.

Last book i read : R K Narayan's 'Bachelor of Arts' . Wow ...such a good read. Elegant story telling . Was pleasantly surprised when the book echoed some of my beliefs on Friendship and Love.

Five Books that mean a lot to me :

Who moved my Cheese - Spencer Johnson: I think i must have read this book atleast 10 times now. But the Value Add never diminshes. A must have in any book shelf.

Rich Dad,Poor Dad - Robert Kiyolashki: I felt a lot wiser about Money after reading this book. Presents some radically new thoughts on Money making.

Man's search for Meaning - Viktor Frankyl : Psychiatric literature is not my cup of tea , but went head and bought this book and never once regretted my decision. The book presents such an Inspiring story of Viktor's experiences in Concentration camp . His observations give a good insight into Human thought processes.

FountainHead - Ayn rand : One of the most influential works of Literature. No fictitious character has ever haunted me like Howard Roark . Got carried away by the Story when i read it for the first time , so planning to re-read it for the philosophical angle.

I 'm right, U r wrong - Bono : Human Thinking process explained in Black n White. Bono covers entire gamut of his research on Lateral Thinking in one book .

Now lemme pass the meme to Uday ..... i 'm thinking hard to find if i have any other blogging friends........
