Still I bought this book "the world is flat" 2 months back, and whenever i get time i read this book, which is very very good. It's not fiction, but a short history of how world has changed in the last few years. It's information coming to you in a very reader friendly form.<BR/><BR/>Maybe a diligent reader like you can check it out!!<BR/><BR/>Cheers !<BR/>SumitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688447346273966988.post-15249217370704990472008-02-04T06:26:00.000+05:302008-02-04T06:26:00.000+05:30Am no book reader, but the books i have enjoyed ti...Am no book reader, but the books i have enjoyed till date are eth ones suggested by a particular friend.
