BOOK REVIEW: A Free Man by Aman Sethi

Posted July 9, 2014 by @amanhimself in Books, Reviews / 0 Comments

A Free Man: A True Story of Life and Death in Delhi by Aman Sethi is something different from the normal books. It does not has a grabbing impact but if you start it, somehow you will want to read this book. Same happened with me over the past two days. 230 pages, I ended up reading them. I never got the feeling of being hooked by its words but in awe of reading something different and something based on my home-town New Delhi, I wanted to give it a try. The major part of the novel is set in New Delhi, near the area of Sadar Bazaar. The book focuses in particular on a man name Ashraf who studied biology, became a butcher, a […]

Posted June 17, 2014 by @amanhimself in Books, sports / 0 Comments

The summer has become hotter with the start of the FIFA World Cup 2014. Four days already and more than 40 goals in groups stage fixtures. Yesterday, Germany was fun to watch though. Thus, in the time of this major event, I have concluded a list of ten football (soccer) books a reader ( also a Football Nerd) can read when not watching the fixtures. The Damned Utd by David Peace Extraordinary sport’s writer, David Peace’s extraordinarily inventive novel tells the story of a world characterized by fear of failure and hunger for success set in the bleak heart of the 1970s.

BOOK REVIEW: The Numbers Game by Chris Anderson & David Sally

Posted May 11, 2014 by @amanhimself in Books, Reviews / 0 Comments

When I am in the mood of reading about football (soccer), I hardly find books to read. Eventually, I got this book from a friend of mine, who like me, is suffering from Football Fever.  In The Numbers Game: Why Everything you should know about soccer is wrong, Chris Anderson, a former professional goalkeeper turned soccer statistics guru, teams up with behavioral analyst David Sally to uncover the numbers that really matter when it comes to predicting a winner. Investigating basic but profound questions—How valuable are corners? Which goal matters most? Is possession really nine-tenths of the law? How should a player’s value be judged?—they deliver an incisive, revolutionary new way of watching and understanding soccer. The book answers each of the […]

The first step is admitting you have a problem, and I admit — I have an addiction to reading. So using my own personal experiences, I’ve compiled 21 signs that your love of books may have gotten out of hand.  And don’t forget to share ‘what you’re reading’ in the comments below! You’ve spent hours in a bookstore. You’re super-tired at work because you stayed up way too late reading just one more chapter, and then another. You’re always making your partner or friends crazy by reading aloud lines from the book you’re reading. You get more than a little defensive of your favorite authors. You’ve been late to work/college classes to finish a book. You know the book will be better than the movie before it’s out. […]
