The Street Lawyer (and other short stories) ;)
I also happened to read The Street Lawyer by John 'I used to be a lawyer' Grisham.
I was about a 100 pages into the book when I realized that I had already read it once, but continued to read it anyway.
This is one of those books which makes you stop and think for a while - "What am I doing with my life?"
We work to earn money- money so that our families can live safely and securely, so that we can buy those few things we desire, eat at a fancy restaurant, our children go to the best school we can afford, our parents are happy, etc.
Yet, we spend more time at our workplace than actually doing the things mentioned above.
So how do we achieve the real motive that we're working for? We're spending long hours in the office making sure we're up for a promotion or that we clinch that business deal, but our families don't get to see as much of as they'd like to.
We don't get enough time to do what we'd like to. I might want to write a book, learn to play the guitar, work with NGOs, go trekking, but how can I?
Anyway, it's a circle and we just go round and round!
That's all folks!!
p.s- why the "and other short stories " in the title of this post? aise hi! Sue karte kya? Sue sue yehaan nako karo, side me karo! :)

Angels and Demons & The Da Vinci code
I read 'The Da Vinci Code' about a year ago and found it mind blowing. I read 'Angels and Demons' about a month back and my only thoughts while I was reading the novel was " Haven't I read this somewhere before?"
The books were too similar. Why write two books which have almost the same story lines? Change 'Illuminati' to 'Opus Dei' and you can assume that you've read both the books.
True, Dan Brown has done a wonderful job in BOTH the books, but the only reason Da Vinci Code got more publicity was because it went against the Church's belief's and against Opus Dei which is not extinct like the Illuminati.
Apparently, Digital Fortress, aslo written by Dan Brown isn't as predictable as these two books probably because the protagonist isn't Robert Langdon anymore!
Im still waiting for the movie to come out where Tom Hanks is playing Robert Langdon in the Hollywood adaptation of The Da Vinci Code. Shooting's already started!
