    👍 Awesome indeed. Have read half of them.
    Losing my Virginity - Richard Branson & The Kite Runner are favorites. The Sudha Murthy ones are all a treasure to read.

    Thank you 😁

    godfatherHuge collection Avii.

    This is just a glimpse of my collection, the actual collection is lot lot bigger 😁 Most of the books I inherited from my dad & now I am expanding the library 😀

    Currently I am in phase of managing all my books & adding them in PC, a virtual library. I am using this software #-Link-Snipped-#. The software is pretty simple. I have an app in my iPhone called Red Laser, a bar code scanner. It scans the bar codes & exports them to text. And in PC I am import them & the software will itself add to library ! Added approx 120 books within 20 mins. I am amazed how technology makes life easier !

    Now, problem is with old books. I have books like from year 1960-1970 & they don't have bar codes on them. Some even don't have ISBN. So I am thinking to paste those numbered stickers [or those little blank orange stickers & number them manually] & prepare an excel sheet. Or any of here guys got a better solution ??? Thank you in advance 😀

    Agreed !!

    Richard Branson books are just great. Everyone who is interested in Entrepreneurship / setting up own business must read this !

    Even Thousand splendid suns is also a great book. Do it if you haven't.

    Except Game of Thrones Series / A Song of Ice & Fire series, I have read most of them 😁

    And if you guys any suggestions in True Crime, let me know...those will be in Phase-II purchases ;-)
