Book I regret Reading
Prince of Tides The best way to get yourself in a really low mood. Movie is actually much better, I thought.

Crime and Nostalgia

1. CRIME
Body Double (Tess Gerritsen)
It is my first ever crime read and so far, so good. Am enjoying it as tube time reading and keen to see how the pieces of the puzzle fall together.

2. NOSTALGIC
The Rainbow Serpent
Just because I read it hundreds of times as a little tyke.

Travel and Humour

Top 5 Books

1. My Sister's Keeper (Jodi Picoult)
It is a very thoughtful and non-judgemental character study. They became like family members to me.

2. The Art of Happiness (His Holiness the Dhali Lama)
Works as a spring clean of the soul. Though not used as stringent guide I find it quite uplifting/refreshing.

3. A Beautiful Mind (Sylvia Nasar)
Very honest and informative biography.

4. Kane and Abel (Jeffrey Archer)

5. Speeches That Shaped The Modern World (Alan J Whiticker)
Inspirational and thought provoking.
