Very good pictures/visuals. Excellent explanations. Enjoying the book very much!
I bought Siddhartha when we were shopping for return gifts for daughters first birthday last year at Barnes and Nobel in Huntersville. I have heard only praises of Siddhartha from many people and have meant to read it for long. Vishal Sikka used to quote from the it lot in letters he sent to Infosys employees as an CEO. I read the translation by Rika Lesser. Siddhartha is a small book, collection of thoughts in poetic form. It tells story of Siddhartha, a Brahmins son, who wants to understand meaning of life. In several chapters the book tells Siddhartha's journey to gain wisdom. The story felt boring at the start but gained momentum in the middle. Liked Siddhartha's ever questioning mind and ability to "think, wait and fast." The book reminded me of the movie "Ship of Theseus" too. Learning to be in the moment and seeking our own wisdom/nirvana is the mantra of the book. I would add it to the category of - "What I talk when I talk about running" - i.e. a book that deserves to be re-read several times.
Very,very interesting and informative...especially when you lived (on the job) through this period. Great piece of NYPD history.
Amazingly informative wow what a great book. I couldn't put it down read it all in 1 night. A must read for video game fanatics.
