I’ve been living off suitcases and breathing amidst flights in the past week. Meetings for Avane Srimannarayana and it’s release is on full swing. Keeping me company during these meetings are the books I carry, and that’s when the idea to share it with you all came. So here’s something for all the bibliophiles, I’ll write about the books I’m reading and You can suggest books too 🙂 Book 1 – The Great Philosophers, as the title suggests talks about different philosophers and their thoughts. An interesting read, something that lets you float amongst clouds with a lot of thoughts and ideas. #BooksAndWings
