Keeping up the promise I made in read to live,not live to read post, i am updating with the books i read recently, along with my thoughts on them. Recently finished two of them. One is a novel by Ken Follet, named Whiteout. A decent one from Follet thought not one of his best. This time he ventured into drugs and bio-hazardous chemicals.(In Last twin he tried his hands on DNA replication). A Scottish company does research on/for/using deadly viruses and our heroine (ex-cop) is the chief security officer. The plot is quite steady and quite gripping till the end, though there are no unexpected twists n turns. Of course I am not expecting some deadly ones of Frederick Forsyth, but not having even a mediocre one makes it evident. But as with any Follet’s, there is some masala, this time between two teenaged step-cousins. Over all a decent read.
The Other one is a real beautiful book. Its a non-fiction by Mitch Albom, named Tuesdays with Morrie. Its really a simple, good and a must read book. The book is just all about the conversations between Mitch and his mentor Morrie which takes place during the last few days of bed-ridden Morrie. This one definitely raises the reader’s spirit and gives a new view of the life,one which not many 'worldly aspiring buddies ' will agree. A good read.
