Top 100 Novels
TIME Magazine has compiled its list.
Wish I had read more of these when I was younger...!
Definition of an Entrepreneur
Sramana Mitra has a great quote by Theodore Roosevelt:
“It is not the critic who counts,
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled,
or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course;
who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly;
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
I agree.
Posted by sudhirThough depending on the week, I'd come up a different list of my own favorite books.
I'm disappointed entire genres were missed out. The Fountainhead, Hitchhiker's guide, the Foundation triology (Asimov) should've made it I believe...
