My fictions spree

6 years later… from Da Vinci Code – I am back into the world of fictions. Da Vinci Code has inspired me to go beyond sci fictions! Just bought Angels n Demons, State of Fear and Seizure. Completed Angels n Demons within 10 hours flat. I was glued to it – nothing stopped me from moving my eyes away from the book! Although I saw the moview before reading it, it was awesome!! Just so addictive that I want to go to Rome now once again! So stuck to it, that I was reading it even while having water or going to the loo

School days books would include Enid Blyton series and Nancy Drew! I think I’ve read all of them till 1999. In college – that would be merely 2 years,  came Sidney Sheldon, Michael Crichton and Robin Cook. Again read all of them! Would love Crichton’s work on science. Sci fiction was an addiction suddenly. Robin Cook’s Coma and Fever are mind boggling!

After this era, I was stuck with my studies, however was exposed to this brilliant book “Many Masters, Many Lives” by Dr Brian Weiss. So profoundly influenced, I bought the entire series of his work – 5 of them till date I think. I suddenly wanted to read only these themes, but nothing caught my attention. All this was also couple with gender books – like Men / Women ones – very cute and hilarious books. I’m dead sure, my approach towards guys have changed drastically after 3 book doses!

In the meanwhile, I graduated to reading a bit of management style books – it all started with The Goal – whoa- my entire management costing subject seemed to be taking place in a story. Loved it! here began my quest for reading such books – but was too young and unexposed to what good books were there in the stores. I laid my hands on some book at Infosys library – I don’t remember the name but it was of a great guy who worked in either Coke or Pepsi and then was a founder member of Mac. I managed to read the book half way – pretty interesting, but never getting me hooked to it.

Yet, I bought “Six Sigma” by the toyota team I’ve no idea why I got this though. Till date I’ve barely read th first 30 pages. And I got it 4 years back! Amidst this , I borrowed a book on Reiki from my bro-in-law. Read plenty of it, but it didn’t make too much sense eventually. Requires meditation and clear mind – both i’m terrible at!

My next conquest was The Undercover Economist – bought since the last 3 years and finally completed in the last week in 2 days! Brilliant book – Completely Must read! The next was We Are Like That Only (my first indian authored book) – and I was only rolling with laughter reflecting on myself. A cool book on marketing in India. Some books just catch attention by their titles!

And now, I realised I’m bored with the management bla bla bla! Need a change – to refresh the aging mind (lol) So went on a shopping spree and got confused I didn’t know new books, new authors So went back to my age old authors and got Angels and Demons, State of Fear and Seizure. Oh of course, to not let me feel guilty about reading fiction as a business woman, I even got The World is Flat (hoping for some good)! In one week, I’m shoked I made through 3 big books! I got swollen eyes from being so glued to Angels n Demons Nevertheless, it was fun – a great change from my existing choice. Now I ran a search, and discovered 3 more – I plan to get them – hoping they’ll rock too – The Shack, The Medici Dagger and The First Apostle. I pray they’re available in the stores By the way, I just saw online that in mid September Dan Brown is back with Robert Langdon with the release of The Lost Symbol! Really looking forward to it. Imagine it took him 6 years to write a book!!!! Wow… that’s a lot of research
