Books from Quizzing

Thanks to a coupon at Blossoms from last week's Ganesh Nayak finals, I managed to get
Nathaniel's Nutmeg by Giles Milton (whose "Samurai Williams" I have).

And then today's slightly disappointing performance* at the Bangalore Landmark finals yielded the following

A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush by Eric Newby (supposedly a classic in travel writing)
The Feud that sparked the Renaissance by Paul Robert Walker (seems super interesting)
Poplorica by Martin J Smith and Patrick J Kiger (had to bring up the 500 total!)

So I go to a quiz, get a coupon, buy a book, read that book, answer some question at a future quiz based on something I read in that book, get another coupon and so on, ad infinitum ;)

* Unlike last week's performance at Hyd, where we almost didn't score at all in the 2nd half, we scored about once each in both halves of the quiz. So we are improving!
