Half a life (VS Naipaul) - one of Naipaul's better pieces of fiction. Based mostly in India, Europe and Africa. The Kite Runner (Khaled Hosseini) - this one's been a slow read but I hope to get done by the fall. Avani, Freaconomics is next on my list :)

Hey Avani , OK. I actually bought that book on tape, well CD, and that's something I have never done before, but was bold enough to do this time, thanks to the about-to-expire gift certificate from several birthdays ago :) .... he he. I have heard a lot of good things about the book and am looking forward to it. Happy reading!

. I read "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts. Brilliant book and good writer. Read this when you have plenty of time in hand. Has almost 1000 pages. Next, "Absurdistan" by Gary Shteingart is a funny and satirical novel. Read it if you have a good sense of humor. Shteingart may be the best writer of our generation. Finally, I cannot remember the name of the writer but the book is titled "The Plot to Save Socrates". It is a fiction playing on the idea of time travel, and how somebody tries to travel in time and save Socrates by preventing him from drinking the hemlock poison. Very interesting read. You do not have to be a science-fiction and time-travel nut to enjoy this novel.

People are talking about books/articles here. Wish I had time to munch some literary work. At times I feel like a machine working with all those numbers and waiting for the accurate results. I started on "Meditations on First Philosophy", but somehow involvement with robotic classes seemed more important. Hece, it's on pending.

On Beauty by Zadie Smith. I was blown away by her 1st book - White Teeth. Frankly I liked White Teeth far better than this. Still a good read. She is a good writer.
