the same today

You are the same today that you are going to be five years from now except for two things: the people with whom you associate and the books you read.
–Charles Jones

and i haven’t read anything for a while now. the last book i was reading was angela’s ashes. interesting… very irish. then i realised there was a movie inspired by the book, so am looking for it.

it’s been a few years now that i’ve tried to read a fiction, a management book, a classic… but i can’t stay away from biographies!

i want to read another biography… i want to read something moving, something that gives you a glimpse of relating to some person you’ve never known and you know that you will never know personally, but can still relate to his/her’s pain, happiness, strenghts and passions…

i think i’ll spend a few hours in a bookshop this week.

    Have you read ‘The diary of a young girl – Anne Frank’? That’s a biography/journal/diary/whatever you should read.

    hey hemanshu, yes i’ve read that – years ago… excellent book. very strong and extremely moving though.

    Right on.. maybe it’s time you read ‘Zen and the art of motorcycle maintanence’ by Robert Pirsig. It too is autobiographical, but with changes and kind of philosophical.
