Back to the Basics - Reading

The moment I thought of what I used to do a lot when I was a kid which made me a better person that I am now, only two things came to my mind:

1. Read a lot of books (- which I haven't done in a while)
2. Play Chess (- either I lose or win)

Somehow the first option sounded better to get back to. I just bought 3 amazing books (atleast thats what I got from the reviews).

"Freakonomics : A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything" - Steven D. Levitt

"The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century" - Thomas L. Friedman

"Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" - Malcolm Gladwell

Though my personal favorite author is Malcolm Gladwell. I have read his earlier book - The Tipping Point - which gives an tottaly different view of how small things affect the world is a big way, I am looking forward to reading "Freakonomics".

My peronal reviews for each of these will be posted in the coming weeks.
