 When asked about what kind of books he reads, he says, “I read a lot. Normally, I love to read fiction; I hate to admit it, but I love fiction. I hate to admit it because you don’t come across as a very intellectual person when you admit you read fiction! I love Sydney Sheldon and I love Frederick Forsythe, Arthur Hailey, etc.” About what books he’s been reading these days, he says, “I’ve just finished it, but I was reading a very serious book called Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. It’s about the improbable happening and because I can relate to Benazir’s murder with it and so many other incidents in my own personal life, I think it provides one with a lot of food for thought. It’s an eye opener. It’s about the events that shape your life.”
“Last night, after many years, I started re-reading The Godfather. I love that book and I think The Godfather has to go down as one of my favourites. I think that’s probably the only movie that’s as good as the book, otherwise, I’ve never seen a movie which has come out to be better than the book, and it’s the only movie that has good sequels to it. Otherwise, movies don’t have good sequels.” — Mariam Shah |
