Many people have reading habits. We read so many books. But a few of them will have a indelible mark and remain in our memory.
It could be a book that we read when we were a student or may be later when we were in job or even may be after retirement from active service.
Can you name one such book that impressed you a lot. Can you share it's name.
I liked 'Gulliver's travel' by Jonathan Swift. It is still intact in my memory.
I wouldn't say the following are the best of the best in my opinion; rather, these two books are especially remarkable in relation to the other ones I've read recently:
First, VS Naipaul's Magic Seeds. Although a sequel, one can read this as a standalone. One of his later books, and Naipaul seemed to be toning down on his calls for intellectual despotism. Invariably, this book also deals with postcolonial subjectivity, racial/cultural assimilation, different notions of civility, and the ties between culture and civility.
Second, Medical Law and Ethics, a book I was introduced to in an elementary Medical Humanities class. Very interesting: it focuses on the intersection between (i) legal and ethical practices and (ii) medical practice, professional accountability, and physicians' attitudes toward "patients," and (iii) the dehumanizing tenor of the word "patient."
