Which group of literary figures does kalam refer to as his special favourites
Answers
By A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
Editor's note: It's no secret that APJ Abdul Kalam was a bookworm. Fiction, poetry, religious tomes, novels — Kalam enjoyed it all. So much so that it wasn't unusual for him to rattle off a few lines by TS Eliot in the middle of a discussion on science. In My Journey: Transforming Dreams into Actions, Kalam wrote about his favourite books and his love for these volumes is unmistakable. “Books are your good friends,” Kalam had written. We couldn’t agree more. In this excerpt from My Journey are some of Kalam’s best literary buddies.
Over the years I have read innumerable books. But if I were asked to name those that are most dear to me, or the ones that affected me deeply, I would mention three.
The first is called Light from Many Lamps, edited by Lillian Eichler Watson. I first came across this book in 1953, in the very same second-hand bookstore in Madras I had mentioned earlier (the joys of browsing in a crammed bookshop and stumbling upon a rare treasure like this is indescribable). I consider the book to be my companion, because I have leafed through it and read and reread it so many times over the years that I have possessed it.
