Dollar Desam
Pa. Raghavan
Quote:
America is a country that has made wars an opportunity for making income. This has been so with it for a long time. The garbage behind its glamour, the despotism behind its democracy, the burden of debt behind its prosperity are important issues to be understood. By describing the complete political history of the country, this book brings to view the real face of America. This appeared as a series in Kumdam Reporter.


The Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown
Quote:
The Bible is neither a book dropped out of heaven nor a creation of man. Rather, it is one that, while coming from God, is written by real people.


Pour Your Heart Into It
Howard Schultz
Quote:
tells the story of how small-company values, passion, and integrity turned six local coffee stories into the Starbucks chain.


A brief History of Time
Stephen W. Hawking
Quote:
... if we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we would know the mind of God.


Kallikattu Ithikasam
Vairamuthu
Quote:
It’s a mixture of various emotions like Friendship, Love, sadness, sufferings and depression faced by him.

People, who experienced the Village life, would relate each and every moment of the story with their lives.I bet your eyes will become wet, when you complete the last page of the Novel.


Jonathan Livingstone Seagull
By Richard Bach
Quote:
I don't mind being bone and feathers, mom. I just want to know what I can do in the air and what I can't, that's all. I just want to know.


You Surprised Me
Joe Mannath
Quote:
Behind our dark moods and secret longings, among cobwebs of fear and doubt, are surprises waiting to happen—surprises that can sustain enthusiasm and hope. The truth about each of us is more comforting—and simpler—than we imagine.


The Bible
Quote:
And Jesus said unto them ... , "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to younder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

The Power Game

 Even if you count from the Homo sapiens time, it has been half a million years and from the caveman life to the one who attempts to control the universe, the progress is tremendous. A number of struggles that we have overcome are unimaginable. I am still not convinced whether all these are part of the Divine plan or the Nature adjusts (if at all something is required) itself to any change that takes place in it. As long as we believe in science, we can truly appreciate our power and the things we have achieved. The oldest of the power struggles can be the one between men and women. It is perhaps so subtle that we can’t even call it a power struggle. While we manage to fight against external things, this is something happening in our own race, and we haven’t had an answer yet. A coffee selling 10 times costlier than the price of it in a decade ago may mean the coffee price has been raised. But when you compare it with the price of everything, it is relatively the same.
