Books

In 2014, I decided to try a one month free trial from Audible to listen to an audiobook and my first audiobook was Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. Little did I know that a one month trial would become a lifelong habit or rather addiction of listening to audiobooks. Thus my favorite hobby is to listen to audiobooks especially when I am driving or eating alone.

So here is the list of books I have listened so far.
