Re: Must read book recommended by Digitians

When you said not novel's, I assume you meant non fiction. In no perticular order, a bunch of my favourite books:

* Why dont penguin's feet freeze?
* True Stories of the Second World War (Must Read)
* BUT IS IT TRUE?
* The Discovery of India
* Mein Kampf
* Anandamatha
* Lincoln at Cooper Union
* My experiments with truth
* Dairy of a young girl: Anne Frank
* The Making of the Atomic Bomb
* What Einstein Told His Barber
* True Stories of D-Day
* Glimpses of World History
* Letters from a Father to His Daughter
* So Sad To Fall In Battle: An Account of War (This book inspiered the movie 'two letter from Iwo Jima')
* Bodyguard of Lies
* Not One Step Back

Not exactly nonfiction, but great books:
* Shantaram
* Da Vinci Code
* Malgudi Days
* A tiger for Malgudi
* The Vendor of Sweets
* The Bachelor of Arts


* Mahabharat (Really, read it, its not too bad. Better than eKta Kapooor's tragic attempt neway :p)

Re: Must read book recommended by Digitians

Yeah The digital fortress is a must read and after reading watch the movie 'U571' feel good factor
 
I'd highly recommend:
1)The Bartimeaus Trilogy (the amulet of samarkand, golem's eye & ptolemy's gate)
2)Kane And Abel (Jeffrey Archer) [Awesome book, worth reading again n again...]
3)The fountainhead (Ayn Rand)

Anyone read Five-Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat?
Looking to buy it in future

+1 for The Bartimeous Trilogy.

I read 'Wish you well' by David Baldacci yesterday.
Was a refreshing break from all the suspense thrillers i was used to.

8/10.

@Pathik.

The ongoing war between Israel and Palestine with history elements, archaeology, US and suspense thrown in. Its great, ray. Go for it.
BTW, I am not able to find The God Delusion anywhere.
Neither Gates : Microsofts Mogul or Just for fun - Linux
