Books/Novels Discussion Thread V1: Literary Gems
"Crisis" by Robin Cook.Though I think I have read one of his books earlier and which seemed to have left a bad taste in my mouth I begin to doubt it.This novel was nicely written and the ending though a bit unexpected totally relates from the plot of the novel.

Its good for people who has not read such stories...You didnt like Kane and abel?!?!
I told that I've already read some of Maupassant'sworks and all of them are on such theme. Same family drama. Aur mujhe wo pasand nahi.
The book (Kane and Abel) is like a journey, u strat from childhood and grow up with the characters, get old and die.
Story se jaida Biography lagti hai...

Democracy is a myth
Dude, Ive Maupassant's full collection. Two books.
Started reading enthusiastically at least 1yr ago.
After going through first 5-6 stories I was fed-up, same drama, eloping, extra marital affair etc. Initially they were good but after certain time it felt boring.
And, I stopped reading them.
Kahi kone mein padha hoga woh books.
Hmmm...would try to read d story u mentioned.

well to tell the truth this is the only maupassant story i have ever read..do read it.its really good.
Chromsome 6:-by Robin Cook.It shares the same protagonist as the novel Crisis which is a sort of sequel.The events in this are quite milestone like, but not a single reference is given to the events in this novel in Crisis.Another thing I feel is that Robin Cook is not good at developing characters in his stories and too many lucky things happen to them and the finish of this novel feels real abrupt.

I also feel so. I've read his "SHOCK". Didn't felt writing abt it. Its abrupt end. He has good medical info (ok, he's a doctor) but he's not so good at story telling.

The Great Railway Bazaar by Paul Theroux - 9/10. Fantastic book.

Has anybody read the Tarzan series by Edgar Rice Burroughs? These series of books are just fantastic. Any1 who has not read them is missing out on a whole level of adventure in fiction.
Aww, I had it issued from the library but never got around to read it,I know score is high but is it worth a purchase, if it is,then gonna buy it in summer holidays.
