I like to read. In fact, in a good way, I take pride in the fact that I read widely. I read a study once that said the average American (after finishing school) reads less than 2 books a year. But somehow I've gotten myself into a mess. Check it out.
On my bedside table:
- Parenting with Love and Logic
- India's Unending Journey, by Tully
- Bakht Singh of India
- Complications, by A. Gwande
- Nehru, by Tharoor
- And at least 5 past issues of Wired magazine, 3 issues of Outlook Traveller magazine
On my Kindle:
- The First 90 Days, by Watkins
- Leadership with Cultural Intelligence, by Livermore
- And a bunch of free PDF books, mostly by J. Piper
On my desk at work:
- In Spite of the Gods: The Strange Rise of Modern India, by Luce (re-readig this; best book on India I've read...ever)
- The Geography of Thought: How Asians and Westerners Think Differently and Why, by Nisbett
- Speaking of India: Bridging the Communication Gap when Working with Indians, by Storti
- Change Across Cultures, by Bradshaw
- Just Courage, by Haugen
- And five other "leadership" books which I want to skim
Yikes! Time to focus and try to finish a few before starting any more. But it does reveal the main themes of my life right now: parenting, cross-cultural , and leadership issues.
