so do you guys stop reading one book... quickly read another and get back? have a continuous re-read cycle going of LOTR, Watchmen and Sherlock Holmes

oh and short stories

Captain Murderer, Charles Dickens - this is the literary version of Saw/Hostel
Puss Cat Mew, E. H. Knatchbull-Hugessen - where Tolkein got all his stuff from, it wasnt Sigurd
The Open Window, Saki - trollol

If I like the book, I finish it asap. Else, it's a stop start thing.

Almost finished Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Good book. Its about a future where books are considered evil and burnt. The title refers to the temperature at which books burn.

Serious Men by Manu Joseph

Drama.
Personal opinion: Boring, pointless, purposeless. Initial wisecracks becomes intolerable and monotonous later. Stay away if you could.

I'd find it, a humorous one especially the actions of Ayyan mani.

The usual, already finished Covert One series from Ludlum, though he didn't write any of them but they were good barring one or two.

Bourne Identity by Ludlum is a great book.

 

[tkin]

Bourne Identity by Ludlum is a great book.

Same as the movie, Bourne continues well beyond the first three books, not sure about the quality though, as written by authors after ludlum's death.

 

[swordfish]

Yes I liked the The Bourne Identity and Ultimatum books (hv read identity 2 times).. Supremacy was average.. Bourne books after death of ludlum are just crap..

Read Chancellor manuscript of ludlum.. it is also very nice book of ludlum
