You sound like someone who needs to truly get in touch with their inner flower, John...

My inner flower is probably a thistle of some kind!

Have you ever read Alain de Botton? I will readily admit to liking his first few books. They were a fresh take on a tired subject and easily accessible in a field of mostly unaccessible writing. After about the 4th one though I either grew-up or he started veering too much towards the Self Help Hippie Dippie crap. A shame.

From behind my eyes, it's all my illusion.
However, I pretend it's all real to avoid the shame of having messed up so badly.

There are a lot of eBooks which we can purchase both in PDF and Reader format and quite a lot of them for free. Why is not a category of 'eBooks' mentioned in the list?

Books are books. Whether they are electronic or paper bound.
Here we aren't categorizing types of books. But we are categorizing subjects that interest and relax us.

True. I admit. The underlying content which is carried is more important than the vehicle or media.

Plz keep away form the monitor!!
Good luck

Whilst most of the technical lookups are from MSDN online, in my free time, my preferred book is Srimad Bhagavad Gita. The easy Tamil and English version of it is available from ISKCON.
The other book of preference is 'The Wings of Fire ' by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.

There's no surprise in your choice - I would be very impressed if you mention Dostoevsky or Tolstoy
