Guest guest Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Dear Rakesh, I can understand your feeling.Bharat should have commented on your letter,which would have been easy for him considering his flair for writing.If you appreciate something good ,you get a feeling of sharing it.More so if it is a good book.Bharat can be eloquent and express his feelings lyrically being a gifted one.The best part of Gurucharan Das's book mentioned is ,its introduction,it gives a rare insight of author's thinking,his biases and his life.I would like you to read " 100 great books " by Rupa Publication.It is about ,well....100 great books selected by the author from Bible to Three Men in a Boat.The best part is the way each book is explained by the personality and virtues of the writer! I can safely recommend both to you and Bharat ,Emperor of all the maladies,Biography of cancer.I have given a review on Flipcart also.I also purchased it from Flipcart. Happy reading V.K.Gupta76 Consultant (SAG),M/o Health & FW I/c Polyclinic,CGHS,Allahabad ________________________________ To: " bharat_7910@...
