I have read Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time twice before. This week I am listening to it while driving to office. I have now discovered the "new" concept (new at least for me) of "books on CD". I often borrow books on CDs from the library and hear them while driving to & from office. It's good utilization of time. Before borrowing A Brief History of Time, I listened to You are Broke because you want to be, It's Not About the Coffee: Leadership Principles from a Life at Starbucks, and The One Minute Manager.
Hence I am enjoying my commute to office. And traffic jams don't bother me anymore!
What am I reading?
Jack London's The Call of the Wild. I found it on library shelf and borrowed it. I had never heard of the book earlier. However the subject of the book - Klondike gold rush of late nineteenth century, interested me. I had never heard of Klondike gold rush before my trip to Alaska last year. It was in Skagway that I heard about it as our tour guide explained us some of the astonishing and horrifying facts of the period. The Call of the Wild is about the savagery that humans have often subjected animals to and the shame thereof. Yet the story is told in an amusing way that keeps it light and humourous.
