List of my Must Reads(chronological)
HMS Ulysses - Alistair McLean
A gripping WWII tale of courage and fortitude. It is the story of a doomed British cruiser and the courage under fire exhibited by her crew and captain. Has a sad ending.

Fountainhead - Ayn Rand
Howard Roark(the protagonist), is a gifted architect who will break but still wouldnt bend. In a world full of second-handers and oppurtunists, he stands out alone, battling for his ideals and his values. Definitely the best of anything ever written by Rand.

The Day of the Jackal - Fredrick Forsythe
Definitely one of Forsythe's greatest works. This gripping story of a hired assassin out to kill the President of France(Charles de Gaulle), is un-putdownable and has eerie similiratities to real life events. The ending is simply superb.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Omnibus - Douglas Noel Adams (DNA)
This 5 part masterpiece by DNA is a laugh riot. An assortment of bizzare characters like Zaphod Beeblebrox, Ford Prefect and Marvin the despodent robot, create the perfect setting for putting down DNA's observations on life and people. Behind its funny exterior lies deep philosophy and dark satire. Have read it many many times.

The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid - C.K. Prahlad
Was deeple inspired by Prahlad's revelations that for businesses to do well they must cater to the deep bottom of the human prosperity pyramid. The case studies presented were mind blowing. Doing something of this nature would forever be an aim in my life.
