First two books are about the need and importance of Homeschooling and the history of modern force schooling system.

Thats a very intersting decision -- would you like to share why? And what hurdles you think you'll be expierencing?

Karl was no fun ---

I wasn't his fan I am just very curious person. So I read it, and guess what he shaped my thinking pattern with out me knowing it.
So now i inspired by Iqbal/marks like 50/50 .
By iqbal willingly by marks unwillingly. But hey the guys is right about a million things on the top capitalism.
I mean who really need ipods and iphones ???
Radio for 3$ in usa well there must be some thing wron in some part of the world so amrekan can get thingss for so cheap right????

There are few reasons but the main one is to educate them with the classical method of learning.

The Alchemist
by Paulo Coelho.
A must read piece indeed. I confess being to late to have read.
Let the Sea be my mother, and the Moon my father;
I will swim with the mermaids forever thereafter....

The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid. The next one is probably going to be Moth Smoke by the same writer.

I started reading no God but God also -- wonderful book. VERY powerful so be a little careful. The first couple of chapters really try to shake your belief system.
I just finished Talkative Man by RK Narayan. Charming to say the least.. anyone who knows RK saab knows he loves to leave an unfinished taste in your mouth. This book is no different, nevertheless a nice short quick read. Soemthing to do on a quiet weekend.
