Sounds like a good list. I too almost never read fiction, but if I do, it will be a work from at least a century ago that made a mark.

Regarding management books, I did read some of this material many years ago. My career trajectory has involved changing to smaller and smaller companies, so that now I am little more than a family business. There is no point in buying a management book to tell me how to handle my wife!

I am addicted to both! I buy just about anything that catches my fancy. Mostly though, Philosophy, Psychology, Management, History, Matters pertaining to Indian Economy and Sociology etc. Very very rarely fiction.

There is another very specialized online book seller which is run by a dear friend of mine which sources and sells normally unavailable academic books, that too, mostly pertaining to India. You can have a look at http://swblogs.blogspot.com/ and http://www.scholarswithoutborders.in/

We have that in common. I too am addicted to buying books. In fact, I would say that, it is my only addiction! I however get to read them before they go to a special, place in the library, if I do not intend to read them again, or to the reference area if I intend to read them again.
