  I wanted to read something outside my taste, so I picked up a book called 'Audacity of Hope' By Mr. Barack Obama.
  I am just 30 pages through it.
  Till now, he has shared his experiences with people in general, when either them or him didn't know that his journey was toward becoming the First Black President of the United States.

  Ankita Katdare

  I have read this book 'The white tiger' long back and I am sorry to report that I found the book really pathetic. How could he write so many bad things about our nation. I guess he won some prize for this book too and people have found the content of the book amusing. I found it very disappointing.

  'I Have A Dream' is the story of 20 idealists who think and act like entrepreneurs. They are committed to different causes, but they have one thing in common: a belief that principles of management can and must be used to achieve a greater common good.

  @ AKD: What is pottermore? A book or directly a movie?
• 

  Ankita Katdare

  Your question is spamming this thread.
  J.K. Rowling unveiled the full extent of her newest project in a press announcement, revealing Pottermore as free website that will feature "extensive new material about the characters, places and objects in the much-loved stories," all written by Rowling. It sounds like the vast majority, if not all of this material, is intended to supplement the "Potter" stories as they already exist, rather than create brand new stories all unto themselves. In other words, this appears to be Rowling's long awaited "Potter" encyclopedia, but in an online and interactive form.

  I just completed Reading "God Created Integers"
  
  Dear Steven Hawkin, if there was a God of Science in this Millenia, it is certainly you. One of the greater agony in my life would remain to be the fact that "I might never meet you and touch your feet!" If ever God wants to give me a gift, be it my wish to see you Sir.
  
  If anybody has not read this book, he probably would never know how interesting is mathematics. I owe you big time sir Hawkins.

  A very good book indeed. I enjoyed it very much. Be sure to read the second part also "The secret of the Nagas". It's too good.
  I'm very eagerly awaiting the final part of the trilogy. 😀
•

  I'm currently reading two books simultaneously..
  
  One is "ABC murders" by Agatha Christie. It's a detective story with a serial killer killing victims whose names are in alphabetical order.
  And it has the indomitable Hercule Poirot. It's going good.. 😀
  
  The other is 'Winning", a book on management and business by Jack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric.
  
  I must say, reading a crime thriller and a business management book simultaneously is awesome!! Do try it 😀
