The roster update--2007

The urge to plunge in to the works of some of the great writers has grown to be insatiable in me over the years. These are the people who embraced the world with an open heart leaving behind the traces of their imagination, offering a key in every book to a world rich of new ideas, revelations, philosophies, psychological insights, and things that would take more than a lifetime for an individual to grasp by himself. My appreciation for such noble deeds would run in volumes that would be of no interest to most. So, i would at least hope the roster i put would make a few qurious or at least serve an idle brain to pick up a worth wile book instead of numbing ourselves through watching repeats of soaps n sitcoms ( which i myself am quite addicted to )..
In chronological Order

1. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
2. The Will to power by Frederich Nietzsche
3. My Uncle's dream ( from selected works ) by Fyodor Dostoevsky
