Books/Novels Discussion Thread V1: Literary Gems

[Krow]

Ray Bradbury is dead. In his memory, I'll buy a couple of his books.

@avi want to buy hobbit. Make me an offer I can't refuse.

Currently reading Neuromancer by William Gibson. It's difficult to follow what's going on, but I'm hooked.

Has anybody read Godan or Hard Times or The Mayor of Casterbridge ?

Adult comedy,totally hilarious

Has anybody read Godan or Hard Times or The Mayor of Casterbridge ?

If you are talking about Godan by Premchand then yes I've read it.Brilliant piece of writing

Please suggest me some good,simple,fun books.
P.S:No books with those 0.5 cm font.Hate those huge books.
Is digital fortress good enough for a 17 year old?

I will say that give Digital Fortress a go.I read it when I was 16 and I'll not hesitate to read it again now when I'm 18

cancel that, stay away from these books, they have a very good premise, but it is totally messed up because every single char behaves like they walked out of high school musical 3. It's really, really bad, example of how bad it can get, Shiva and Nandi are walking down the street, Shiva mutters "strange people", Nandi asks "What is it, My Lord?" and Shiva answers "Nothing really." exact. words. in. the. book. Chronology is messed up too. Shiva comes a thousand years after Ram. also, Shiva becomes a lecher every time Parvati is on the same page. stay away.

 

[abhinavsood]

The Kite Runner by Khalid Hosseini is a must read.

 

[KDroid]

IMO, Chetan Bhagat is quite over-rated.

However, 2 States is a good book. Not Mind Blowing. But still, nicely written.

 

[pkkumarcool]

hmm.....you have a long way to go...

i rarely read novel books so i dont know how good a novel can be.I just loved the way in which this book was written and read all in one go.

^nice loot, that's like the 4th LOTR cover that I liekd, guessing its all new and the bottom right corner is the most exp

Yep all new

Bottom right on is Algotihms by Cormen, approx 350.

The costly books are LOTR in one, Hobbit, Khaled Hosseni box set & those head first books...
