Second book of his 'Chaos walking' series i.e. sequel to the book "Knife of never letting go'
The story picks up at the exact point where it ended in first part. Even this part is same adrenaline driven thrilling, depressing, twisted and sentimental as the first one. Finished in three days straight.

Monsters of Men - Patrick Ness

Four Past Midnight : Stephen King
First story : The Langoliers

Such an awesome thriller. Sci-fi with King's specialty 'HORROR'. A breathtaking experience.

The first one is called "The Langoliers" and is about a group of people who wake up in an deserted plane. You are in an unknown world where you don't know the rules.

Reading The Millennium Trilogy. Finished The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo & The Girl Who Played With Fire. I found the latter one better. Both are quite intriguing.

Finished Inheritance by Christopher Paolini. This book is good but a bit too long. Lots of chapters could have been deleted without affecting it in the slightest.

Eragon saga is complete now. Good reads, all four books. Although the amount of similarities to Star Wars and Lord of the Rings makes it a bit less great.

^hmm stopped reading Eragon midway into the third book
Bartaeus Trilogy (hope that got spelled right) is very tightly written - three books Ptolemy's Gate, Amulet of Samarkhand, and Golem's Eye. Written by Jonathan Stroud.

 

[ajayritik]

Can someone post about Self Help books as well here?

Bartimaeus it is. I've read that trilogy and it is pretty good. Stroud has wit and sarcasm which makes Bartimaeus a great character. Also, Philip Pullman's golden compass trilogy is very good too.
