The Google Story

I just finished reading this book. It provides good insight into how this phenomenon started, what was going in the background, how it made money and how it successfully handled an IPO on the wall street. It also describes some of the key philosophies at Google i.e. Don't be Evil.

It has a thriller like speed and a novel like detail.
All in all, a good read if you are smitten by the Google bug.

Books I am reading

In the past few months I read

  • Paulo Coelho - Eleven Minutes
  • John Grisham - The Client
  • Gregory David Roberts - Shantaram
  • Thomas L. Friedman - The World is Flat
I am currently reading The Google Story by David A. Vise.
The next book on my shelf is The Argumentative Indian by Amartya Sen.

P.S. I don't think of myself competent enough to write book reviews :)
