List of Authors to be read

Following is the list of the authors whose books you shall read from now on and submit the review of the book that you read in the past week. Please note that it is TG's policy that a student cannot enter the VA class if he/she does not have his/her book review. The idea behind allowing you to read the books of your choice is not to let you dwell in your comfort zone, but to give you the flexibility to choose the sequence in which you would want to read the books from different genres and explore the areas that you have hitherto been either oblivious of or uninterested in. Since we maintain a record of the book reviews submitted by you, we too would be able to track the assortment of books you have read over a period of time. Take this as an opportunity to read some wonderful masterpieces rather than a drudgery being forced upon you. Performing it as a customary rite would prevent you from experiencing the pleasure of reading such accomplished and ingenious compositions. As Amir Khan rightly puts it in Three Idiots- The fright of a whip's lash does make even a lion sit on a chair, but we call him well-trained, not well-educated! Ultimately our aim is the same as yours- your selection at a reputed B-School! And I assure you that this exercise is imperative and well directed towards actualizing that goal.

Happy Reading!
