Robin Sharma's "The Greatness Guide 1" and "2".
He's surely a motivational speaker, check his other books too.
Exactly my thoughts. It is a very good book indeed. The climax is just awesome !The Devotion of Suspect X
*alchemistpoonam.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/the-devotion-of-suspect-x.jpg
Finished the book in two days straight. This book has taken the whole world by storm and I had to see what all this fuss is about. At first it started with known territory and then it gave me something new. Logic and puzzle.
A satisfying read. A very good thriller (or a better love story) after a long time. Highly recommended.
Yup. It's a good book. Do read it

I am in a mood of buying Penguin Classics. Please suggest me some good books. Today I bought Anna Karenina and War & Peace. I have read them long ago & they are just great works. I have also read Fyodor's Karamzov Brothers and Crime Punishment, Tolstoy's Resurrrection & liked them too. Can anyone suggest me some good classics based on my likings ?
These books were mentioned at the back of W & P :
A dead man's memoir by Mikhail Bulgakov
The Idiot by fyodor dostoevsky
The house of the dead by fyodor dostoevsky
Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol
A hero of our time by Mikhail Lermontov
Fathers & sons by Ivan Turgenev
The shooting party by Anton Chekhov
Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin

Democracy is a myth
OK, I can recommend few classics if you are interested
Short story collection by Anton Chekhov (Its of different tastes and different moods. Very simple at times and then very complex and deep)
Short story collection by Hector Hugh Munro a.k.a Saki
Obviously Edgar Allan Poe collection
Maupassant if you want. I tried reading him, most stories are based on human relationships. Kind of our daily soaps but not that bad quality, In India Rabindranath Tagore wrote in similar themes.
Yes. why not give it a try for our very own Rabindranath Tagore. Believe me he did some serious research with human mind and complex relationships!
Then try O'Henry.

Already done with Edgar Alan, O'Henry
Actually O'Henry's is NOT a deep stuff IMO. I did not read classics and works of Tagore because I find them deep. Even Tolstoy too, but managed to read it somehow
Another such books are Fountainhead and Atlas shrugged by Ayan Ryand. (done already)
But I am feeling like reading classics and explore a new horizon.
@both - thank you very much guys !!

Ummm, depends, he told stories in simple language and taking help of everyday events. And, all of his stories has some message.
Geetanjali is a collection of his poems. Rather check out his novels Chaturanga, Chokher Bali, Gora, Noukadubi, Char-adhyay etc are remarkable.

Vilas Sarang's Fair Tree of the Void is very good. It was printed by Penguin in 1990 or so, I just can't find a copy anywhere. It is a fantastic short story collection, right up there with the likes of Gogol and Jeff Noon. It would be awesome if you can find it.

By far you posted some of the greatest titles in this thread buddy. One should really give Verne & Dumas a try if one's into fiction/adventure. Why didn't you mention The Count of Monte Cristo?
Here is my little recommendation at GoodReads

Thanks mate.. Yes I really forgot this "The Count Of Monte Cristo". And "A Catcher In The Rye " too by Salinger.
Your list is interesting!!
