Just Books(5)

Finished reading " Its Not About the Bike - Lance Armstrong".

I would surely recommend the book, Its a good and fast read. Even though it dwells on what most would think a depressing subject. A man's fight against cancer. It is well written, fast pased and gives only so much gyan as is needed to put a point across. No endless text of medical terms and same time gives a glimspe into the exciting world of champion ship cycling.

Picked up ''Yes Prime Minister" - This one has been on my shelf forever now, Inspite of being such a big fan of "Yes Minister" I dont know why this one is still unread :o)

I read the book long ago and despite the subject being a depressing one I find it a very inspiring read. Do read "Every second counts" by Lance. That too is a great read.

And with the current state of mind-a 'mommy blog' is apt - dont u think :-)

@ ALL : Finally i get some good sense to stop being a snob and reply to comments :o)

@Seashell : Same here ! i found it inspiring too And i dunno if you remmeber it, but there is one para on how he says the Nurse to be an angel and what he says to him ! I just loved that part ! Every second counts ? I will surely get my hands on it !

@ Jo : No Dost, Believe me and Seashell, The subject is just a bit of a dampner when you think of it, It is a verrry good read, and when i come to mysore, i will get only this book for you :p

@ RS : Yaar ! mujhe kuch nahi samjha ! :o) Please comment again ! Me missing in action ? Well all the action is at work these days ! You take care and yeah start the blog soon, Take some tips from Jyoti, She has an awesome mommy blog !
