As nothing happening in the sports world after one of the Memorable wins of Roger Federer at Wimbledon other than the never ending Baseball season, I found lot of time reading books and I want to mention couple of them here.
1. It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life by Lance Armstrong and Sally Jenkins
Do you know cycling is one of the grueling and most toughest sports in the world. Imagine you are cycling for three weeks at a stretch morning to evening for about 2,500 miles baring cold, heat, mountains, rain and what not. That is Tour De France and to win it 7 times in a row is no mere feat. What is more special is to know how he did it being a cancer survivor.
This is one of the great books I have read all time as it's not only a feel good story but to see how a person can come out from the jaws of death and become one of the greatest sports persons ever is truly inspiring. I wonder why Hollywood still didn't start a movie based on it as it is a too good story for a Hollywood movie but when I think that this all happened for real I can't stop admiring Lance and his achievements and in fact now started to know what's going on in the Cycling world.
2. The Intelligent Investor By Benjamin Graham
I started the latest revised edition and very soon I realized why it's an classic. The best part of this revised edition it is original Graham unfiltered by any body else. I am novice in investing but the way he explained each and every aspect of investing is truly a master piece. If you want start investing and start reading a book on it I strongly recommend this book.
