S.U.M.O.

A visit to a bookstore will most definitely make you feel better. It's funny and full of information. Today, in the new arrivals section, I found a couple of interesting books.
  1. Title: S.U.M.O.
    Subtitle: (Shut Up, Move On®)
    Author: Paul McGee
    Description: The straight-talking guide to creating and enjoying a brilliant life.
    My notes:
    Man!! Well.. and also note the ®. Hmm...


  2. Title: Pinging from Bangalore
    Subtitle: A blog novel
    Author: K R Chandrashekhar
    My notes: The author has an experience of 15 years in the manufacturing and software industries. It has A few words by U R Ananthamurthy... at the beginning, in which he essentially says that all this is kind of too new to him. I swiftly ran through the pages and found that it had a couple of tables, charts, task lists, organisational pyramids.. well, and so on-in a novel. Things are certainly moving at a fast pace. I am still in the dark ages.
