Hello all,
Not much of a regular poster here, but couldn't resist telling you all some of the books I read.
The Kite Runner - by Khaled hosseni.....very emotional and a very good story teller
The Tide country - by Amitav ghosh....someone has previously reviewed this in this thread and I too was was drawn into the book. Its surprising how you read about some place that you have previously never thought much abt but since then have been interested in knowing more.
Fingersmith - by Sarah Waters.....great story with lots of twists.
Life of Pi- by Yann Martel...simple characters but strong
The curious incident of the dog at night time - by Mark Haddon....about a little boy with Aspergers syndrome .
The good women of China - by Xinran.....radio interviews with women of China and really, really sad, horrible, very moving stories about them. I cried badly when i read it.
Q&A - by vikas swarup...nice
A book about pregnancy, children....don't remember the name - by Vicki Iovine...very funny
Am currently reading a book by Suketu Mehta about the city of Bombay - Maximum City. The city of my childhood where my parents still live...very nostalgic.
Will keep this thread going with further reads,
Cheers!

TM : FF novels are usually descriptive & takes time to read ! I felt "Devil's Alternative" was upto the level of "Day Of the Jackal", "Dogs of War" etc

This used to be one of the best for those days. But some of the ideas have already appeared bits and parts in some movies. That said, this is still a great read. FF's inside details are simply incredible.

The Alchemist-Paulo Coehlo
The Power of Now-Eckhart Tolle
The above two are what one would call fundamentally inspiring.
Finished with all of Dan Browns books. He has ideas, but he's not a good writer. On the other hand, John Case from whom DB has generously helped himself with the Da Vinci Code, is an unusual combo of husband&wife teaming up together to write books. Strongly recommend The genesis Code for all those who were bowled over by The Da Vinci Code.
Lined up for reading: Patricia Cornwell's At Risk & Nora Roberts' Dangerous. Dose of Thriller and soppy Romance !
