BRETHREN - John Grisham

Hi,
Recently i finished reading Brethren - a good novel by John Grisham. The plot for the story was excellent. The story is about 3 Old judges who were arrested for their Crimes, ended up in a same prison. These 3 conspired a plan toc create a scam and earn money and freedom. The story was moving interestingly. They hooked a big shot in a scam and got pardon from the prison because of the big shot. Nice story to read - overall.
Thanks,
Soma

Kite Runner

Hi All,
This time i came with a book of different flavor. It reminded me of my childhood memories and i cherished reading the mischief of Ali and Amir. The author has portrayed those 2 characters well so that those 2 gets a place in your heart. I really felt sorry for Ali, poor boy who supported his boss's (whom he worked for) Son. The stories shows the real life in Afghanistan after the taliban entered. I am not really interested in these kind of stories. But this one impresses me a lot. I was curious towards the end of the story, how Amir happens to end up with his enemy and how he saved his own brother's son from Afghanisthan and migrated to USA. All credits to Khaled Hossaini. I am looking forward to start his next book "A Thousand Splendid Sun". Meet u all in my next blog after reading another book.
Thanks,
Soma

Jonathan Livingston Seagull - Richard Bach

Hi All,
After a long time, I am back on track to blog about some of my readings. Meanwhile i read a book by Richard Bach - Jonathan Livingston Seagull - An absloute self motivating factor. This book explains about the metaphysics. The way the seagull was characterized and its lasting determination to travel all the planes is awesome. I like the story and i was very much inspired by the book. I also suggested this book for some of my friends. I must really thank my friend Raghu to come across such a great book. Please find below link for further reading.
