I do have a copy and I can give it to you when we meet next time :-)Rajihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06777513747744822135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-31721203484210437242009-07-13T12:47:48.756+05:302009-07-13T12:47:48.756+05:30Raji - will take a look. do you have a copy?<br /><br />Madhuri - my turn to say thanks for stopping by. <br /><br />I&#39;ve heard so many people sound so annoyed with White Tiger that it got me curious. The other reasons would be a) I was gifted a copy b) I want to find out how a gimmicky letter to the Chinese Premier kind of book worked with so many people c) Why do the outsiders seem to like it better than the resident Indians<br /><br />And thanks for the Ticknor pointer. Will check out Indiaplaza. And have you read Ticknor?<br /><br />Manohar - Hi Manu, thanks for saying something different! I guess the folks I spoke to got so put off by the first few chapters that they let that opinion stay with them for the rest of the book. I do hope to get to the book later this year and finish it. I think I need to read it in a few sittings or I may run the danger of just dumping it. I need Girish Maharaj&#39;s blessings in order to accomplish ;)Lavanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13819013256960568131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-32283253278988220742009-07-13T03:27:39.285+05:302009-07-13T03:27:39.285+05:30Hi Lavanya,<br /><br />I actually didn&#39;t like the first few chapters of &#39;The white tiger&#39;. After that I must confess to thoroughly enzoying it.Manoharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09073095973908636340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-5285874350688893742009-07-11T10:40:29.496+05:302009-07-11T10:40:29.496+05:30I wonder what made you keep White Tiger on the list? The booker?<br />I read Netherland this year, quite disappointing, esp after all the rave reviews it had been getting. I am only glad I could get a library copy and didn&#39;t have to buy it!<br />BTW, You can find Ticknor - at least on the on-line bookstores. I remember seeing it on Indiaplaza once when I was checking it out.Madhurihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01323335479301675432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-64957086225477495002009-07-09T16:55:00.239+05:302009-07-09T16:55:00.239+05:30How about adding &quot;The Tao of Physics&quot; to the list?
