Random stuff…

Could not finish Against the Gods. The lesson in history of probability theory got a little too boring after the first few chapters. The initial part is very well written. But after the first 60 pages or so it becomes a history of mathematics. Anyway, I could not have read that over the weekend when I was visiting Nagpur.

So, I picked up Bill Bryson’s Neither Here nor There. This one’s a revelation. The man has a serious talent for writing travelogues. And he’s funny to the point of being wicked! Outrageously funny at times and a laugh-by-the-minute description of Europe at its quirkiest – this book is a must read.

Found 2 more interesting titles while browsing around the library catalogue and Amazon. Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins and The Undercover Economist by Tim Harford. Have added them to my To be Read Soon list.

Watched The Usual Suspects last night – again! Reminded of the time when Warikoo had arranged for a common screening at AC2 MLT. Oh boy, does that room evoke memories or what! FOGP - miss you guys!
