The Books my friends are reading (and recommending)
When I was wondering how to build the reading list for the coming days, I first started looking around in the web/Goodreads and other places. However soon it became time consuming and confusing. The quick solution — I thought of reaching out to my social network, hence I posted a request on my Facebook and Linkedin on 21st Nov, 2016. And voila, I got a bunch of really good book suggestions (mostly on my Facebook). As an afterthought, I decided to share this list back to you, in case that helps.
