Some Books I have Read & Would Recommend

[destinationsuccess]

i recently read JHUMPA LAHIRI`S INTERPERTER OF MALADIES.
too good.it is a collection of short stories.some nine stories in all.bit emotional but lahiri has etched out each character and situation so well that u personally feel the pain....
a must read for all who like more realistic kinda novels(wud put god of small things,life of pi also in the same bracket)....

well any naipaul fans out here????

hi d00d
abt angels n demons it is better than DA Vinci code acc to moi ,,so go ahead --it has a better ending and well is better written..No wone small point i wud like to add is that i remember some ppl hav alreday given their opines on it this thread --so use the search feature ..
moreover chck out http://www.pagalguy.com/cat/showthread.php?t=5515 (What do you think of The Da Vinci Code????)

Also recently i went thru one book which i wanted to rea since long back--LAJJA by Taslima Nasreen --ahem now this book has seen gr8 reviews but frankly speaking i did not find it that much gr8 -- in fact after redaing each word of the first 10 pages i just sort of glimpsed thru the nxt 100--True the book is real sad stor ntragic portrayal n blah blah blah but as a reader u need somethin more grippig i did not find those 100s of examples every chapter that interesting--moreover the plot and the fow of the novel was sleep-inducing......

But hey another goood book is LOVE n LONGING in BOMBAY by VIKRAM CHANDRA ...It is a combiantion of 5 stories namely KAMA , ARTHA , DHARMA ,SHANTI n one more based in mumbai and covering a wide range of emotions--fantabalous book and a gr8 read..The stories are all told bya chap called Subramanian who himself stars in the last one ..go read this one --u will love it!!!!
till nxt post
happy reading

would like to thank steppenwolf for pointing out the fab combo of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

who r they..ppl might ask (as i did once)

IMHO, these guys are the best thriller writers that i have read in a long-long time. the theme is usually archeological/related to ancient tribes and their practices. full of pretty good (but useless ) info, these guys manage to weave a web of fact and fiction ; they write stuff which feels like paranormal, but ends up quite believable.

i have read Relic & Cabinet Of Curiosities, both of them great reads. fortunately i have seven more lined up. so i hope this week is not gonna be boring

one more thing..i would like to punch the guy who recommended "Artemis Fowl" as a good read..and even went on to compare it with harry potter. with all respect removed, its one of the trashiest magic books that has ever been my misfortune to read. the storyline sucks..literally. there is no plot whatsoever, the author is confused as to whether portray Artemis as a villain or a hero..or just about anything. the denoument is as interesting as a cut-off lizard's tail. i have heard my cousins making up far superior stories than this.

Angels and Demons is a very good book - you will find all the thrill and adrenalin that one associates with a Dan Brown book. It is a very good book. But, having read A&D, Da Vinci Code, Digital Fortress and Deception Point, I personally feel that DVC is his best work till now. I can't pinpoint why exactly, but it has that element of intrigue that keeps a reader in sway that was not there to the same extent in his other books.... But hey, get hold of Deception Point too! Its a good read...

Lajja .... Well, I thought it portrayed the pain that the author felt amazingly well... She has presented cold hard facts wound together with fiction without attempting to stretch the plot to make it gripping.

its quite a good book but not that gud as the Da vinci code. it doesnt have those twists and turns. its quite informative as usual but u kinda make out the culprit quite a while bfore the end.

one more thing is what does dan brown have with robert langdon, he features in both the books and yeah one more thing HOW COME HE MAKES OUT WITH THE LEAD FEMALE OF THE BOOK IN END?

i m really waiting gor the movie on his first book, neone know when it is coming?

[cintoo2cool]

if u want the e-book pm me and i will give it to u.
