Digital fortress is good enough for a 17 year old. I read it when I was 18(an year back) and does not requires much technical knowledge. It is one of the best thriller I have ever read, except for the ending which is too predictable if you know some facts about that famous nuclear attack on Japan and a little bit of chemistry. It will take great effort to close the book once you start reading(My personal opinion).

I got a cool Flipkart gift voucher as a gift. Recommend what to buy. Books only, will prefer to invest on those which are not available in stores. Will try and avoid common books. Suggestions please.

@Krow,

but you would only read sci-fi books.

Or, try "Chaos walking" series by Patrick Ness. I've mentioned it in previous page. Though its 10% sci-fi.

 

[Krow]

^ I'll check that out. I actually don't mind fantasy, science fiction, graphic novels. Otherwise I'll buy stuff and it will lie idle. One of my planned acquisitions is The Calcutta Chromosome by Amitav Ghosh.

U'll like it. I also checked the movie (tv movie); wasted by bad animation.

@Krow: try Michael Moorcock, donno what is avlbl on that site but von bek, elric, anything from eternal champion series is cool or these r the best > dancers at the end of time or the fortress of pearl. Its hard, harsh fantasy sort of like the antithesis of LOTR

Thanks bro!

Considering that there are a lot many sci fi buffs here, has anyone read Hyperion? Hyperion (Simmons novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Went through the first one, a little dark, hardcore scifi....

 

[RizEon]

Read Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson: Job's official biography. Mindblowing. Its as good as any fiction.
