Books

Grabbed the following at Delhi airport:

Charlie Wilson’s war a book (and the subsequent movie which sound very interesting as a subject), The much hyped & written about Superfreakonomics and finally the highly recommended Death of a money lender 

Also (aided by a rather remarkable stroke of good luck, i guess) at the Jalandhar train station bookstore i got a second hand copy of Ron Rosenbaum’s article collection called ‘Travels with Doctor death’ (the guy gave it to me at Rs.75 – it had a cigarette burn from the cover, running down to about 50 pages deep)

I just read one i’d already heard of called ‘Who was Maria’s Lover ? : The controversy over Hilter’s ancestry’. It reads brilliantly. More later.
