Bookless In Baghdad

a review of "Bookless in Baghdad" authored by Shashi Tharoor

i am an admirer of this United Nations' Under-Secretary General and a regular reader of his columns in various magazines and newspapers. (he writes a column for Sunday Magazine of The Hindu). i am also a regular visitor to his website, crazily reading every word he has to say there. but, here is a book from him that would have made a rather good blog. a book on books and authors !!!!! (and here is a review for that too!!!!) tharoor probably has a compulsive desire to publish every piece of paper he writes!!! may be there are publishers out there in NYC who will do anything for his name and fame. you still didn't buy one ardent fan of yours, Mr. UN.

i am yet to read his other (more meaningful and accolades winning) works like 'the riot', ' the great indian novel', 'show business'. i am sure they will buy me. i have read about them and are in my must-read list of books. i am bound to read them when time permits, no matter what 'Bookless in Baghdad' made me feel. still a fan, ever a fan.
