What is the latest book you read?

Yeah, who hasn't heard about Dr. Atul Gawande. His parents come from my state - Maharashtra, though he himself was born there in the US. There is no doubt that his writings are quite impressive. I have never read "Being Mortal", though. Every time there is something that takes me to this particular book. I make it a point to read. And then it gets lost in other things and responsibilities. And again I'm talking about this book. But this time, I'll definitely start reading. I have heard about this book. So, I'm sure it's worth the time.

@abhi_bangal His parents come from your state? That’s a great claim to fame. I’m always glad to find someone who knows his work. Way too many people have not heard of him.

@AmbiePam Claim to fame... I loved that thought. But yes, that's true. Yeah his work is noteworthy enough to be talked about and to be shared. But the sad thing is that many people really do not know much about him. If by chance we discuss something related to this category, and I mention his name, people say, who is that guy? How sad it is to hear I can imagine that.

There's no harm in repeating a book that you have previously read. It still means you are in the reading zone. And that's what matters. The Catcher in the Rye - who has written the book and what's the topic by the way? I have never read that yet.

@Ineeddentures That's so nice of you that you have not only given me the writer's name, but also the wiki link. It will definitely help me understand better. And it's not like the link will explain it better. Even you could have done the same thing and I am sure about that.

@abhi_bangal J d Salinger wrote it. Here is a link It will explain it far better than I can

Ohhhh... does that happen with you too!!?? I mean, my span of concentration is not much, I should say. Because I start a book. Read a few pages. And then I get bored. I want to read something else. Reading the same thing again and again becomes redundant - though that isn't really the case with me. Then I feel, I should read something that interests me. That will at leas give me some motivation and inspiration to read. But I complete the same vicious circle In this way, I too keep a few books unfinished. Is there any way out I can focus and complete the books that are in the pipeline? Just asking

It's not like if you like a movie, a book, a dish, etc. someone else close to you should also like it. If no one else likes what you - Happiness Falls, in this case, don't fret. May be, you may not be enjoying what they may be reading. We are all unique individuals. Oh sorry for that unasked advice. People are so expert in doing this thing. And I'm one of them, looks like As for me, I have read Shakespeare - not all, but a few definitely. Then there was "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe and "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. I'll never forget these two novels ever in my life. And there's one more - "The White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga.

A whole bookcase to read?? Then you have a lot of work in your hands. Well, jokes apart, but yes, reading written smaller prints can be a bit hard. I'm sure you might be using glasses.

@LindaOHio I guess you should see a doc so that he will get your number checked.

@abhi_bangal Yes, I have glasses; but I think I need a stronger prescription.
