The bookish weekend!!
I had been to Chennai last weekend and after finishing some personal works, decided to enter Landmark, Chennai (I was half-willing because I know it would drain out my pockets). As I expected, spend a couple of thousand bucks on some books. Some of the books that I bought are iCon (About Steve Jobs), Understanding the Linux Kernel, Freakonomics and some other books. Have started with iCon and its been too good.

Before you read Freakonomics I’d suggest you read The Undercover Economist (it has a blog too by the way). The notion of using tools of economics for mundane tasks reads nice but doing that too often becomes jarring. Also, next time try and get The Long Tail and The Innovator’s Dilemma - both word a good read.

Also try ‘iWoz’ by Steve Wozniak. Recommended reading for every engineer.
