The Appeal - It ain't got no appeal!
Freakonomics - There is nothing to freak out about it. A thought-provoking correlation the author presented is the decrease in crime rate in 90's and legalization of abortion in 70's...Seems too good to be true among the other factors that influenced the crime rate fall...Also, the motivation for a real estate agent to sell your house quickly mentioned in the book is truly an eye opener! Overall worth a read...
The World is Flat - With the advent of internet in the last decade, world has certainly become flat. The book seconds that! The economical rise of BRIC countries in the recent times as a consequence of this is evident and unquestionable. Somewhere in the book, the author says, every geographical region has its own advantages and disadvantages. I think the people and their respective governments should realize that, work together, tap the available resources and make their presence felt in globalization 3.0...The Wal-mart's supply chain model, which made it the grocer super power and the evolution of UPS from a mere shipping company to providing shipping solutions are noteworthy! Good book...
Calvin and Hobbes - Of course, no comments. The best of all!!
BTW a cool site to buy books, www.betterworld.com
