One of the nicest book i have ever read. The man who swam the Amazon.. i took this book from the Connemara library, chennai and extended twice before i started reading this book..
This book is a Journal on Day to day activity of Martin Strel about 66 day swimming on the amazon river covering 5200 + Kms.
It is very hard to imagine swimming 10 hours daily , in the midst of thick jungle , even for any emergency they dont have any access to any near by towns, hospitals.
Along this journey we will be able know abou the amazon forest, wild creatures, dangerous water creatures, Pirates, Natural disasters.
This 52 year old man did this for the cause of clean water.
His determination in completing in midst of so many constraints and challenges is well described..and the author literally takes you along the time line.
Nice one to read !!

Simplyfly - By Capt.Gopinath
This is one book i always wanted to read. When the Deccan aviation was in the peak of the glory , i have read articles about his journey, but they were bits and pieces, after reading this book i came to know so much things about the amazing journey he has made up. The way he scaled up, the journey everything is so beautifully illustrated.
I have never read a book in such a pace and i had this book last Sunday and i could not believe that i have completed yesterday night. The book should be in the mandate reading list if you are anytime into an entrepreneurship journey. The risks he has taken during every course of this journey and the patience he has planted to achieve this is enormous.
I read this book like a thriller novel and it has a sad ending with the mergers,selling etc. But across his journey he really puts many things that you can dot it down and can be helpful somewhere in your life.
When every one buys a rolex watch to showoff, he has been awarded a rolex watch as contribution to the organic farming, it surely displays the amount of enthusiasm , dedication, determination that he has invested even in such simple things.
He looks like is a man of innovation and many evidence are apparent and detailed out.
This books goes into my Read it , Read it again , Again , Again list.
