I've been a avid reader for years and each time the love for books keeps growing. I have not restricted my self to any particular genre as each genre or theme has its own special offering.
There is a sense of pleasure in browsing titles related to management, psychology self-help, cookery, classics, and so on. This only adds value to my profession as a technical writer which calls in for sleek writing skills topped with creativity. Some of my favorites from the book shelves are as follows :
