I have still not overcome from my last book. I even dont like to call it a book. The Fountainhead rocked. I am looking forward for a book which can simply match it's standards. I don't want to read Ayn Rand's any other work right now,because i dont want to finish it off. I like being in this afterglow of the book. And will slowly and steadily read all her other works to enlighten me.
Anyways, I read Alchemist. I just flicked through the pages in about 4 hours. It was the book's fate that I read it just a day after completing Fountainhead.So, to say the least I found it nothing and actually a bit contradicting to few things embarked on my mind by the Fountainhead. Whereas Alchemist somewhat tells you to be superstitious,Fountainhead is the story of 'an Atheist'.
The other book I completed just day before yesterday was-'It's not about the bike'. I dont want to write much about it but just savour it in my mind. It was painful,very painful,but at the end i clapped my hands with tears in my eyes. And it was my fate that after I read it, I switched on the Tv and to my surprise Tour De France was going on and Lance Armstrong is still "Living Strong". I saw him and all the people cheering for him. I thought go,go,go!! Lance you living legend....not only for your country but for all those chosen "lucky ones"who look upto you....
