80 books!
It is the most books I ever read in one year in my life so a pat on the back for that. I also tried to be conscious about the ones I chose to read. The top 10 would be - Zen, The Beginner's Mind, The Inner Game of Tennis, The Sentimental Spy, Are You Experienced, Open, Autobiography of a Yogi, Sons and Lovers, The Heart of a Woman, The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared and Heat and Dust. Stanley Kramer's biography by Daniel Spoto was a lesson in how to write one. Two books that left an impact - How I Raised Myself from Success to Failure and Dying to Be Me. Suresh, Sagar (gifted me close to 30 books this year), Vinod (selected ones, all lovely), Jayant and Suhita, Ramesh, Rajesh (all the sports and business books I get to read in Bangalore), Gauri Dange, Mythily, Shobha and Anjali who shares all the books she likes with me by keeping them on my table after she reads.
