did u ever feel while reading the fountainhead that there was something very different about the book. I just fear that if someone goes through the book and does not come to terms with the idea that that the author has proposed it will be a great sin.
Neways i still apologise for sayin it isn't for eveybody. on the contrary to bring around a change it should be spread to everybody...
one of my personal favorites is " The Stars Shine Down"- Sidney Sheldon.
It is one novel which is different acording to me is just because of all the inspiration it gives you to grow big despite all odds. A must read for all girls coz' the protaganist is a girl. let ur opinion flow .. and Keep the good work on. [/quote]

here are some HR books to your list;

Smart Choices: How to Hire the Best

By Judith Lindenberger - Learn some specifics for preparing to interview a job candidate and how to conduct the interview itself. Some good tips are provided, especially for determining whether the candidate will fit into your company's environment.

Key to avoiding wrongful termination suits . . . no surprises!

By Joan Lloyd, C.S.P. - "I couldn’t believe it! I walked in and my boss fired me on the spot!" "After all these years, I got fired because of a few mistakes." "My new boss told me I was fired. My old boss always said I was doing fine." This, my friends, is why employers get sued. Want to avoid employee lawsuits for "wrongful termination?" Then, listen up, because the answer is easier than you may think: No surprises.

Employer's Guide to Dealing with Substance Abuse

By Lectriclaw - They mean that every day, across this country, in towns large and small, from small businesses to large corporations, the problems of substance abuse are hurting the workplace. And that means a major business problem for you. Because substance abuse affects the bottom line: it costs you money. How? Look how substance abusing workers compare to drug-free workers.

Ideas for encouraging employee initiative

By Joan Lloyd, C.S.P. - Most of us learn about self-motivation at an early age. It feels good to be good and it feels good to do good work. When we start fooling around with what comes naturally, we get ourselves in trouble. Unfortunately, the reward systems we create in our organizations can often backfire

How a layoff is handled will affect company long after economy recovers

By Joan Lloyd - The news ran through the office like a match to gasoline. Thirty people were losing their jobs as of today. Some people were stunned, others were angry and a few were in tears. Once they were escorted to the front door, the managers came back to their work areas and hid behind closed doors. A memo came out the next day, explaining that sales were down and cuts had to be made. The employee survivors of "Black Friday" stood among the wreckage and wondered what to do next

Strategies to consider during tough economic times

By Joan Lloyd, C.S.P. - The company president sat slumped in his chair. His company faced another flat month of sales and bleak prospects in the months ahead. "I’m going to have to lay people off," he said. "I’ve tried everything else I can think of to cut costs but my back is to the wall. I have a small company and every one of these people is like family to me

Hope they will be of some help in your studies

Hello Sunayana & Everyone else,
Thanks for encouraging everyone to read books, in the age of Internet.
Reading books, have their own charm and benefit.
Books are considered as one's Best friends.
I've always loved reading Books of R.N.Tagore. The intricacies of Human relationships are so simply written.
"The Wreck" is one of my favourite.
"Who moved my cheese" is a must read for everyone. It tells you how to deal with Life's uncertainities.
Hey, can anyone recommend me books on Human relationships?( I don't mean Books on HR)

Friends,
I strongly recommend that you read( if not already), the book,
Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.
Besides being an interesting book, it has offered me a few nice quotes which I have used with success in my training sessions and presentations.
