rubbish 5
Calcutta of my childhood is now Kolkata. Boodhooram Ignoramus is a new name. My father had wanted, he told me, change his name but did not succeed, too much of hassles. In internet world, it is easier to become a different person.
Nobody, almost, will agree that anybody have the right to roam public places naked. There is nuisance act in many countries to prevent such acts. Luckily there is no such law to prevent a person from making an ass of self, provided no other person has been hurt. That is why this blog exists.
Now, book is a big business. On selling side are publisher, compiler, printer, binders, booksellers wholesaler and retailer, reviewer, critics, writers, illustrators etc. Books are bought for reading and decorating. Book readers are interesting people. Some of them tell about the content of a book just looking at it. Lesser mortals can write book review by turning few pages. On other side of the scale is Boodhooram takes months to read a book. So he buys two three books a year. Libraries buy books in bulk. Usually people buy and read books in concurrence to and for confirmation of his previous ideas and knowledge. Otherwise buying a book to read is costly affairs because of hit & misses. Ignoramus read ‘predictably irrational’ by Dan Ariely last. Is it predictable irrationality?
What to read/buy next?
