Death of WCW



highly recommended for all wrestling fans..

my Australian uni recommended this book for the accounts subject in 2005. The the book contains all the important details of "how not to run a business".

Reading the following books, simultaneously :

1) A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. Actually, I bought this book from a library say about 15 or 18 years back and later discontinued reading it due to personal reasons. Recently, this book was quoted in a blog which prompted me to buy it, which I did subsequently. Finished reading about 60%

2) Stiff Upper Lip Jeeves .

I just used the word "thoo" elsewhere and it triggered memories of PGW.
In C of C, one of the stories ( I guess the titular one) has a Russian Author visiting the neighbourhood book society, a heinous front for chick-wooing nerds shutting out golf-playing sons of the soil. The unfriendly neighbourhood drops Russian author names to impress the visitor, and it all turns upside down for him when the latter turns out to be a narcisstic golf lover!

The way PGW builds it up and the dialogue!
"Nastikoff no good - I spit at Nastikoff"
"Sovietski not good - I spit at Sovietski!"
"Nobody any good except (self) and Wodehouse"!

I thought that was a cool self reference by PGW without looking like a cheap plug. For cheap self references, watch Karan Johar movies.

HI Chevy , Pragasam ,

Digital Fortress ...,Not Bad ! The usual DB Fare ....having gone through a couple of his books ,I am finding that his plot lines are almost always the same ..A thrilling ,stupendous ,Unthinkable object/document..etc ,gets caught in the wrong hands ,A chase across various places generously sprinkled with lot of red Herring's and finally the denouement with the culprit turning out to be someone close to you ...am getting rather bored of his books ...

The Lost symbol is lying on the shelf looking "Lost"...Have not worked up enough enthusiasm for it..


Just Finished reading "Night Fall" by Isaac Asimov ...Quite engrossing

Good. Loved the stories of Gacy and Hillside Strangler.
