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.

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.

What's the best approach for developing an application with JavaScript? This book helps you answer that question with numerous JavaScript coding patterns and best practices. If you're an experienced developer looking to solve problems related to objects, functions, inheritance, and other language-specific categories, the abstractions and code templates in this guide are ideal -- whether you're writing a client-side, server-side, or desktop application with JavaScript. Author Stoyan Stefanov includes several examples for each pattern as well as practical advice for implementing them.

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.

If anybody has not read this book, he probably would never know how interesting is mathematics. I owe you big time sir Hawkins.

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 😀
