The Summer of '09: Part-2

Three months of holidays gave me quite some time to rejuvenate the long lost habit of reading( Thanks to DC++).

1. "Enemy" by Lee Child : A classic American thriller by a Brit author. Fast paced.

2. "Freakonomics" : Refreshingly different. Managed to obtain this book through one of the numerous acquaintances made at HAL.

3. "The Collected Short Stories" - Roald Dahl : Dark Humour packed with brilliant twists.

4. "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson : Very informative and at the same time not boring.

5. "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell : The book itself itself is an Outlier. A class apart. Leaves you in an introspective mood at the end of it.

6. "Hitman" by Garth Ennis : Unlike the macho Punisher, Tommy is quite vulnerable. Lots of references to cult movies. Fun stuff. I felt the ending was quite lame though.
