Guys,

can anyone recommend a book to understanding weather...I want it to be in basic layman language to understand but should be really helpful.

 

Also for any who is interested in Adventure and Mountaineering...I highly highly recommend this book.

Finished 8 Wheel of Time books. Getting a bit tiring, so I took a break and I'm now currently reading The Martian. I didn't quite expect it to be this humorous.

 

Will continue with Winters Heart after that.

 

For a book that is a monologue for the most part, Martian is really funny :D Loved it

There's a part in the book where NASA scientists start something called Project Elrond, named after the Council of Elrond in LOTR. One of the people who start it is a character named Mitch Henderson, who's going to be played by Sean Bean in the movie :D

I am reading Siddhartha by Herman Hesse

I read this a few weeks back. It wasn't what I expected, but I still enjoyed a different perspective.

Which? There two books in the quote

 

Siddhartha. I thought it was going to be about the Buddha himself lol. But in actuality it's a story about another guy (called Siddhartha) and how he goes about his quest to attain enlightenment. His views are quite different from the Buddha himself and that's the different perspective I really enjoyed.

Yea me too bought that for that reason only. Most of the people are actually.

Book is good but i guess writer is misguiding.

I've been reading inherit the stars. Lame name but the book is amazeballs, its surprising how this book hasnt been well known.

 

The story starts with a group of scientists discovering a body on moon, and from there on several high profile academics in all fields gather to solve the mystery. Most of the book revolves around the discussion between these people and conclusions they draw. Each and every conversation is a blast to read.
