Re: Novels recommended by Digitians
THE GODFATHER -Mario Puzo, my favorite book Awesome....awesome...awesome
MASTER OF GAME and IF TOMMOROW COMES by Sidney Sheldon, ultimate page turner books with suspense in every minutes read
CATCH 22 is also very good, though unreal sometimes, but very good read and will make you laugh like mad
ALCHEMISTand LIKE THE FLOWING RIVER by Paulo Coleho....amazing piece of work....so deep and so simple...specially ALCHEMIST is amazing....its beyond words to describe that book
A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME- Stephen Hawking is a great book on science. His way of describing complex science using simple english is mind-blowing(even though its a science book, but it has only one eqn in it....simplicity is the main feature of book)
DA VINCI CODEand ANGELS AND DEMONS - Dan Brown are excellent, excellent mixture of revealing facts and chilling stories
HARRY POTTER SERIES - J.K.Rowling is good too, specially for fantasy lovers
ONE NIGHT AT THE CALL CENTER and FIVE POINT SOMEONE- both the books by CHETAN BHAGAT is quite good and interesting to read
Thats all I can remember now.....

Re: Novels recommended by Digitians
Ian Rankin is my fav author .. Let it bleed is his best work according to me .. others like Black and Blue .. Dead Souls .. Tooth and Nail .. great books ..
Then I like Agatha Christie .. All Hercule Poirot books rock .. And then any book by AC Clarke ..
Hmm .. there are more .. I liked Hungry Tide by Amitava Ghosh .. Last novel I read was A long long way by Sebastian Perry ..
These days I re reading Odyssey series by Arthur C Clarke ..

Re: Novels recommended by Digitians
i haven't been able to read the bourne trilogy by robert ludlum or any book be hp lovercraft. they're supposed to be pretty good but i just can't find them anywhere.
Must read Shantaram by Gregor David Roberts. very good book. soon to be made into a movie with jhonny depp in the lead role.
also JK rowling, michael crichton and LOTR series. didn't find any other book by tolkien as good.
robin cook's books are so damn repetitive. u read a couple of them and u've read them all. the same old medical screw ups!
john grisham's books are good, but they're mostly about lawyers and the law, but still interesting
