Currently reading Alistair MacLean’s Night Without End. This late 50’s thriller is pretty interesting.
I have Michael Crichton's Airframe in my reading list pending to be read along with 6 other Star Wars novels. |

Reading The River of Lost Footsteps by Thant Myint U.It's about Mynammar history. Pretty good but might be terribly boring for someone not interested in history..

Pretty good but might be terribly boring for someone not interested in history.. Which part of Myanmar's History? I might be interested if it's specifically on the post-war pre-independence period and general Aung San. Was in Myanmar over the weekend on business and as usual, i didn't see anything except for the hotel.. |

QUOTE(LEVIATHAN @ Apr 7 2009, 06:22 PM) Finished with And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. But I still not clear on how @ LEVIATHAN: Erk maybe you should use spoiler tag » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « . Also on how he » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « in the end.Anybody with better understanding with the story?  . We don't want to spoil the surprise right? (In case anyone interested to read the book i mean).But anyway here's my understanding of the story: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « So basically thats how. Hopefully I didn't sound too technical _____________ Currently reading Death On the Nile by Agatha Christie for umpteenth time.

"Son of a Witch" & "Quite Ugly One Morning", but i can't remember the author's names.
the first one is a hilariously grim take on Oz, i recommend it to anyone who enjoys good satire. second one is just ridiculously funny. it has a few disgustingly visual scenes that made me a bit noxious, but apart from that it's a good book. |

Reading Dreams from My Father by Obama and Kingdom of Dreams by Judith McNaught.
Over the weekend I read why we buy by a french american author. Forgot the real title and author since it was my friend's book but really good read on discovering why we behave and associate things with certain ideas. I guess nowadays I'm more into history, memoirs and less on fiction. the judith mcnaught was just a continuation of me collecting her books.It's funny though, I thought I never will progress on that kind of type but now I'm enjoying more and more getting those type of books and understand why people have these literary type of book on their shelves.

The Night Angel Trilogy - Brent Weeks
Finished Book One - The Way of Shadows. Tomorrow going for Book Two. Was curious as normally they dont release a unknown author first publication trilogy series in a span of a month or two. so far pretty good writer. OCT 08-Nov 08 Also curious was the book seems very assassin creed like. For those who are bored and want a fresh new author on fantasy totally recommended. My fav writers are to see what my taste is like Eddings, Goodkind, Gemmel, Tolkien, Pratchett,Feist, and what i rate as bad writers is J.K.Rowling, Stephen Meyer cheers |

J K Rowling is ok la, not to say that she writes badly but just that imo her storyline isn't as deep as what you'd expected. But it was just one of the books that kept me flipping page after page to find out what happens next.
I just finished reading What They Teach You at Harvard Business School - Philip Delves Broughton. It's quite interesting in a sense that he left his successful career as the head of the european newspaper bureau, thinking to enter HBS to get a change of environment and possibly continuing one in the business/finance sector when he finished. It's quite a light and easy read, and it's sort of like his diary of what happened during his 1.5 year of his MBA life. The thing I liked about this book was that it was of an opinion of a non-finance guy of the financial world and its capitalistic ideals, being a business student myself, and how he eventually found himself unable to cope with the ideals and expectations of what HBS had initially promised to give him.
