Book Tagging

Is it the new wave sweeping blogosphere ? Thanks to kaats & krish for tagging me. Music and Books have been my best friends in my nomadic existence. Since I have been constantly on the move in the past decade , I have stopped owning books and instead seek the Public Library in whichever city I relocate to.

Total Books I own : Must be around 500 or so. As I have said earlier, I have stopped owning books these days and most of the Books that I own were accumulated years ago and lie in my bedroom in Chennai , which I rarely visit :-)

Last Few Books I bought :

1. Lonely Planet India (A Comprehensive travel guide of India)

2. Collins English - French Dictionary

Last Book(s) I was Gifted :

1. The Virtue of Selfishness by Ayn Rand & The new new thing : A silicon valley story by Michael Lewis .Btw, Thanks Carp !

Last Book I Read :

The Indispensable Calvin & Hobbes by Bill Watterson

Currently Reading :

1. Capitalism & Freedom by Milton Friedman

2. Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling

3. Nylon Kayiru by Sujatha (Tamil)
