Book Titles That Impress
Something tells me that authors spend more time in coming up with an appealing book title than the time spent on writing the book itself. One example that comes to mind is Robin Sharma's The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. Most of the reviews have been quite critical and I fail to understand how this book has hogged the limelight. I even noticed that Tamil comedian Vivek presented this book to President Abdul Kalam recently.
Here's another book that caught my eye. I haven't heard about the author Kathy Lette and hence can't vouch for the book or the author.

Monk who sold... is quite an interesting book with some rocking quotes. As they say you cannot please all (read critics) :)

I bought the Monk and left it midway and never get the inclination to pick it up again-hyped up.There are better books in that genre

Dont know if you guys have seen it..... but there is a new book in the stores...called "I Bought the Monk's Ferrari". A book quite contrarian to the earlier book which you all left midway. I read it and liked it. Good simple concepts. This is the second book by Ravi Subramanian. Am told that his first one "If God was a Banker" was a smashing hit. Am trying to get my hand on one. If anyone knows where i can find one it will help. Crossword in Mumbai is out of stock and have promised me that they will get me one. However wanted to make use of this long weekend.
