What a fab idea!😊

I hadn't realised that Mr. Khan was so well-read and had such a quirky and diverse taste in books, although I should have expected it as the character is quite sophisticated and often unpredictable. To be honest I had only heard of two (A Passion for Excellence and The Coffee Trader) and have not read any, so decided to check them out on Amazon.

The most commonly read is likely to be A Passion for Excellence, which is quite a well-known management bible. I would have expected Mr. Khan to have read this and many other such books over and over. So perhaps he was just refreshing his memory for some knotty problem in [wo]man management?

The Coffee Trader is described succinctly on Amazon as a "financial thriller set in 17th Century Amsterdam" where a jew tries to make money from trading Coffee on the bourses. Perhaps Mr. Khan has a stocks and shares portfolio or is considering investing?😊 Or bearing in mind that a lot of muslims do not use money from interest, it might well be liking for financial history.

The other two are interesting choices: The Shakespeare Secret is about a serial killer whose victims are either killed like characters in Shakespeare books or left at places connected with Shakespeare, etc. So Mr. Khan likes his blood and gore with a twist.😊

A Separate Reality by Carlos Castenada is the oddest choice amongst them all, as it tries to "open up the incredible world of the Yaqui Sorcerers through the eyes of Carlos Castaneda, a some what unwilling apprentice to the old Sorcerer Don Juan." Hmmm what to make of this? A passing interest in magic?

Or maybe the CVs are just taking the mickey! 😊😊
