Clear and concise
this is probably the first book about OMP. The author has decribed the uses of many functions and directives of OMP. The examples (in Fortran and C) given are also useful. Generally this is a good book to get you started off with OMP.

Blue God is well exposed
As with his translation of the Ramayana, Ramesh Menon pulls off a perfect balance between scholarship and writerly detail. This book makes the Baghavad Gita approachable and by interweaving stories from Krishna's childhood, makes the context come alive. This is a first-rate read. Highly recommended.

Great Introduction
This is an abridgement of the great classic. The author seems to be focussing on the central story, and cuts out huge quantities of tangential material which would bog down that story. The result is a book which is as readable and enjoyable as Lord of the Rings, a real pleasure. If you feel inspired to study The Mahabharata in greater depth after reading it, great, but it stands on its own as ...
