There was a time when I was searching right, left and centre to read a book.I've already mentioned in my previous post that how I would fall short of books and how I managed to get some books. But today my hands are full. I liked this sudden and pleasant twist. My only worry was how I was going to read all those books.
I'm currently reading " Atlas shrugged" by Ayn Rand. My room mate gave this book. She was an elderly lady who was a retired professor. " If you read this book, you will definitely be going after her other books." That's what she told me when she gave me this book. I think I am going to take this whole month to finish it as it has more than 1000 pages.
Ayn Rand was famous for developing a philosophical system called " Objectivism". I googled for objectivism but could not grasp its essence. I hope I would get to know after going through the whole book. I am wishing myself a happy read for I was always scared of such intense topics.
I also wanted your suggestion on Dan Brown. I haven't read any of his books. Today I was watching " Angels and demons"and it seemed quite an enjoyable watch. But I did not complete watching it as I wanted to read the book first.
I have Angels and demons, Deception point and The lost symbol ebooks. But I do not know how far I can go with these novels in a pdf format. If I do not have any other option, I would definitely resort to ebooks.
I would read Angels and Demons and then watch the movie! (Well, actually I would just watch the movie, but that's me. It's a good movie, I've seen it.)
ReplyDeleteAngels and Demons is definitely a good book to read (I have read it three times, but then I read most books multiple times, so don't read too much into that). You might even end up reading it one more time just for the Rome highlights.
ReplyDeleteAfter awhile, you get DB's formula and stories get predictable. Always a fun read though.
Atlas Shrugged is the best of Ayn Rand's books- Fountainhead is good too, but unless you are an architect, that is unlikely to be your favourite.
