In business books I enjoyed reading 'The Goal', 'How to Change Anything', 'Conscious leadership'. In self-help I enjoyed reading '7 habits', 'Emotional Intelligence', 'Furiously Happy'. In fiction 'Johnny Got a Gun', 'All the Lives We Never Had', 'The Pakistani Bride', 'The Virgin and the Gipsy', 'Jack Patel's Dubai Dreams', 'Hayavadana'. In non-fiction I loved reading 'Born to Run' which will remain one of my favorite books of all time. Not a bad year with books.
