Indian Readers discussion

Quite a list to follow through and relatively slow reading.
So thought declaring targets in public and conform.
Have set up for Goodreads challenge of modest count 20.

Some books waiting for long time. Not in particular order.

1. Jonathan Livingston Seagull (finished)
2. Brain Rules (reading) (finished)
3. The old man and the sea (finished)
4. Recovered, Not Cured (schizophrenia)
5. Perfect chemistry
6. The princess bride
7. Surviving Manic Depression (depression)
8. My man Jeeves (reading)
9. How we decide
10. The Inimitable Jeeves
11. House Rules (autism) (finished)
12. Driving over Lemons: An Optimist in Andalucia
13. Where I'm Calling From: New and Selected Stories

Please do suggest any light-reads, comedy, romance titles to read in between psychology books.

Good Luck, Shardul
Old man and the sea - didn't like
Princess Bride - want to read
My man Jeeves, Inimitable Jeeves - one of my best loved
House Rules - very good
Tell me how Brain Rules is

And what about J L Seagull? How did you find it?

Hi Smitha !

>> Old man and the sea - didn't like
Similar reaction after reading.

>> My man Jeeves, Inimitable Jeeves - one of my best loved
Fingers crossed..

>> House Rules - very good
I decided to read this only after reading your review :-)

>> Tell me how Brain Rules is
I liked it. It does have technical details and survey observations mentioned all over the place, but at the same time it doesn't let a layman get lost in those jungles. I personally liked first and last chapters best. There is take-home summary after each chapter. A good teacher the author is.

>> And what about J L Seagull? How did you find it?"
I read it on recommendation by a friend. And enjoyed it. Specific numeric values of speed seemed weird at first, but there is no simpler way to explain big leaps in capacity. Good teen age read.

Liked this quotable dialog most -

“Are you saying I can fly?”
“I say you are free.”
