Books by Chetan Bhagat (u all knw it which one)

Re: Must Read Books/Novels -Recommended by Digitians

OH YEAH! Great thread. I'm more into fantasy, so if you guys don't like it much, you may not like my recommendations.

Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
Children Of Hurin - J R R Tolkien + Christopher Tolkien
THE best book ever written, in my opinion. Well, from what I've read so far anyway. I love Tolkien's style, and his poems and songs are amazing. Any other Tolkien fans here?

Digital Fortress - Dan Brown
Deception Point - Dan Brown
Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
These three are my favorites from Dan Brown's works, but I like all his books.

Five Point Someone - Chetan Bhagat
One Night At the Call Center - Chetan Bhagat
I like FPS much more, somehow o_O

The Bartimaeus Series- the third book specially!

The Inheritance Trilogy (Eragon/Eldest/Empire?) - Christopher Paolini
Its not SO great, but I like the storyline.

Princess - Jean Sasson
Daughters of Arabia - Jean Sasson
Both are very interesting, and make for a pretty good read. Very thought provoking.

The Witch of Portobello - Paulo Cohello
The Alchemist - Paulo Cohello
Again, these are my two favorite Paulo Cohello books ^_^

Memoirs of a Geisha - Forgot who wrote it =.=
ER, I really did like the book. Its kinda pervy though o_O but lovely descriptions...

The Harry Potter series - J K Rowling
Standard in any list, for obvious reasons

Re: Must Read Books/Novels -Recommended by Digitians

a similar thread was by me some mnths ago..

anyways night@call center is crap compared to five point ..here Mr Chetan discusses dating meetings in 70 % of the book ..God part comes in the end ...though beginning and ending are gud...the book in middle part is utter boring (Priyanka's date -I , II , III ......WTF ............)

Five point is so refreshing ........though :)

Definitely agree about the first part, but I'm not so sure about "refreshing". It was kind of...well, it seemed pretty pointless to me. The book didn't exactly give out any message, I didn't feel much emotion at a higher level. Most of the time, the people were just swearing and doing stuff :p It was a fun read though, great for the younger generation specially. Thats why I suggested it.
