Multitasking

How many books can you possibly juggle at any point of time? Well, I don’t mean literally juggling them(the irony!) ….but reading them, ofcourse. I have broken my own record this time. I have atleast half a dozen half-read books. Mind you, i haven’t quit on any of them. Just taking my own sweet time to finish.

1) Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy [Love the way Tolstoy narrates....a true classic]

2) The Code Book by Simon Singh [numbers ...numbers...more numbers....well codes actually....loving it]

3)Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams [well, its an omnibus of 5 books and am through 3 of them......absolutely hilarious :D ....there are moments that I am laughing out loud like a mental :D ]

4) The Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov[aaaah...how I love Asimov]

5)The Geek Nation by Angela Saini [this is a crappy book...well, i want to finish it because shelled 400 bucks for it ]

6) The Fifth Mountain by Paulo Coelho [yet to make up my mind about it]

7) What Do You Care What Other People Think? by Richard Feynman [absolutely loving it:)]

8) Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert [ am not sure about this one too......let me finish it and get back ]

 

I have been juggling all these books for the past one month and I am yet to finish any of them but now that I read the list my head spins!! Is this what they call multitasking?

  1. Hi Suni, an interesting post. Now I wouldn’t really call this multitasking. I say it’s more of a discipline factor. In up coming posts I’ll talk about the difference between being wide read and well read. For now, concerning discipline, check out what this guy says:

  2. Hey Tsizzles! :) ..thnx for dropping by!

    I know what you mean :) ….Am rather a spontaneous person and live by my own rules. Where there is discipline and rules, I tend to rebel……..In this age where we are bombarded with info everyday….I don’t think anyone can titled as ‘well-read’…coz THERE IS SO MUCH TO READ….SO MUCH TO LEARN! :)
