Its "THE" best of Dan Brown..........
I loved it more than "Da Vinci Code".......
If u can read all his novels, "Deception Point" and "Digital Fortress"

B/W can anyone tell me how is "Prisoner by Birth" of Jeffrey Archer?

Just like every other Dan Brown novel , dont even go for Deception Point / Digital Fortress , they're the same line with different chars and plot.

actually im a beginner to novels....i have jus read 4-5 novels till now(not ebook ones)..this might be a silly question to ask......what are the benefits of reading novels other than improving reading skills n communication.....anythin imp i missed?

the most imp prb i face is i get distracted freq seeing the no of pages to read...i mean i lose my concentration/get diverted..any tips to improve reading skill?

thankx in advance

 

[rhitwick]

^if u r reading only for benefits then u should stop at once.

Novels are not read for any benefit, we do it it bcz we love to read.
Its so much fun and knowledgeable.
Those who are self claimed book-worms ask them, wat for r they readin novels(any books, not study books).

 

[gopi_vbboy]

^^ thankx for rep

actually i never mean that....jus wanted to know the benefits from experience readers like u.........even does get some benefit from reading of any book...knowledge ofcourse........jus wanted to know anything u readers got improved...i never mean to ask this to embarrass/criticize anyone...

 

[dheeraj_kumar]

^^ Novels arent for improving reading skills, vocabulary or communication. They are for enjoying the book. If you want to improve those stuff, read the newspaper. When you're reading a novel, you have to transcend the barrier called knowledge to the pure pleasure gained from having a book and a hot cup of chocolate on bed in a rainy afternoon.

jus wanted to know anything u readers got improved

The power of my glasses got improved... lol.. seriously, if you want to improve, go read self help books.
