Finished 4 half-read books
๐Ÿ“•1 - 'Lessons of History'
Interesting especially for those who donโ€™t want to read tomes. This is a precis. Nothing has changed or will change in human behaviour. Can you imagine even the Romans debated about rising gap between rich &
poor @devinamehra
๐Ÿ“•2 - 'What I talk about when I talk about running' by Murakami is a nice book about running long distance. Every runner will identify with the issuesย  and running thoughts. #murakami #running
๐Ÿ“• 3 - 'The summer game' by Gideon Haigh.
A good recommendation by my friend Mudar. insightfulย  look at Australian cricket in the 60s and early 70s till Ian Chappell took charge as captain. Selector, administrator and cricketer conflict is universal. (continued)
Many cricketers left cricket to pursue gainful steady employment. Player attitude changed as Australia overcame challenges of Second World War and became richer and richer. (Continued)
In an Indian context (Prasanna), one more over talks about the conflict
between cricket as a passion and practical view of employment.
India economic growth and cricket as an employment option are trends
which reflect in the confidence and aggression of the young cricketers.
@bhogleharsha or @MudarPatherya maybe should write about this change
@bhogleharsha @MudarPatherya ๐Ÿ“•4 - 'The bond king' by Mary Childs.
This book is a gripping tale of Bill Gross and Pimco. How hubris and ego can lead to disaster. @Iamsamirarora
