Read two good books...

Both are to be motion pictures.

The first one was Robin Sharma's The Monk who sold his Ferrari. The story, wound around the principles to make it sound good, is a bit stretched. I felt Paulo Coelho is a better story teller. Robin Sharma is a lawyer himself and I think there are personal reflections in the fable. His Indian origins can also be seen. Most of what I read was common sense in print. According to the author's website the movie will star the author himself. I also bought "Who will cry when you die" by the same author (you would have heard a similar quote by Katherine Mansfield).

The other book was Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. I bought it on the streets for a throw-away price. Its has a train of ciphers one after the other and it keeps you glued till the end. The movie on the same stars Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon.
