Well I have been reading a lot lately, more than what I used read as kid. Here’s list of books I am reading or on my reading list.
Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacon: It pretty simple, it’s biography of Steve Jobs. I’m few chapters away from finish reading the book, so far it made me realise that Jobs was a condescending jerk. Apart from discussing the Jobs personal life, it also talks lot about the process and the philosophy that goes behind building the great products and companies. One can draw lot of inspiration from the book, it’s full of positive vibe. By the time I complete reading this book, I hope till will change my opinion about Jobs. It’s one of those book you want pass on to the future generation.
Business Model Generation: This one is my favourite, it’s created by over 450 people. Talks lot about creating new business models and explains various successful models, very colourful and visuals like kindergarten story books. I just flipped through the book, just excited to have it with me.
Kavalu: This book is from one of my favourite novelist and writer in Kannada SL Byrappa. What make Byrappa’s writing great is that every time I finish reading the chapter, I couldn’t stop pondering about my perception towards the society, the people around me. I hope it’s going to be as good as his other books.
And finally, The Song of Ice and Fire: Short background, few months ago my room-mate asked me watch the series called the Game of Thrones, I vaguely heard on twitter it as an epic fantasy. As I’m not fan of fantasy genre I thought to pass. The more I ignored, the more heard about it from people I know and the internet is full of it. I couldn’t help it and ended up watching two seasons back to back on one weekend that is about 20 hours straight! I felt so dumb for ignoring all along, and now I’m counting days for next season to start. There another eight months for new season to start on HBO, so I thought to catch up the story and decided to complete reading first three books of The Song of Ice and Fire by then. The story has over 240 character and point of view characters wonderfully written, it make me never put down the book. It’s truly is an epic fantasy.
If you got any book suggestions, please let me know.
