Books I was gifted this birthday ( + lots of other things I love - music, fragrance, plants)

Left to Right:
1. The Encyclopedia of Horses & Ponies - Tamsin Pickeral


2. In spite of the Gods: The strange rise of modern India - Edward Luce


3. The Age of Kali - William Dalrymple

Excellent I would say.

I usually like to read one book at a time. Right now however, I am struggling. Have read a couple of chapters from 'The monk who sold his Ferrari', gifted by a friend - reads a bit artificial to me. Great learning I am sure, but sounds practised. Then last month I bought 'The Book of Shiva' but have,again,just read a couple of chapters- purely lack to opportunity. Then day before I bought 'Blink' - this one I want to read - I think I already trust my instincts more than most people, but would like to learn anything more on that - good reading it looks like.
