Other books to read :
1. Salman Rushdie - The Moor's last sigh
more later...

cudn't agree with u more
moor's last sigh -too good,especially the characterisation of aurora zogoiby,and it's spoofs on indian political scenario....guys also try out shame by salman rushdie.....story based on pakistan political scenario.....but basically inspired by the life of zulfikar ali bhutto.....a must read for all those who liked moor's last sigh or for that matter any of rushdie's novels one of the best lines of the novel goes like this"pakistan,an imagination,that failure of a dreaming mind" or "ppl without a past are ppl without any roots and ppl without any roots are ppl who don't have any future" awesome...do read it....
happy to see salman rushdie being referred too....me thought that not many ppl like him in pg....
anyways take care

Hi frens,
i'm new to this thread.
I read about all the books that all u guys have discussed and was impressed by the sheer variety of stuff.
I usually read books related to management etc. but at times I also read some humour. Check out "Five point someone:What not to do at IIT" by Chetan Bhagat and "The inscrutable americans" by Anurag Mathur. Really nice humourous books..truly worthy of attention if you want a good timepass stuff.
And yes, as sopmeone in this thread said..."Art of war" is a must read. and if anyone is interested in Sydney sheldon (I've read all of them) Tell me your dreams is my favourite.
Fountain head by Ayn rand is another blockbuster..

[simplesap]

I would recommmend u all too read 2 books one fountain head by ayn rand and the alchemist by Paul Cohello

I am sure most of these books have been mentioned on this thread but had to add them here.
The Alchemist --- Paulo Coelho
The Moon and Six Pence ---- W.Somerset Maugham
Life of Pie ------ Yann Martel
Catcher in the Rye ---- J.D.Salinger
To kill a mocking bird ----- Harper Lee
100 years of solitude ----- Gabriel Garcia Marquez (I am currently reading this)
and for any science fiction fantasy lovers try the Dragonlance series(Loved them)

[dazzler_dude]

Another one I would say...a must read is Atlas Shrugged.....Ayn Rand

and if anyone's interested in reading stuff like marketing warfare...one very good book is Marketing Warfare ......Jack trout

I recently finished "Day after tomorrow" by Allan Folsom rweally nothing great but a good timepass book..... a mureder mystery of the grandest scale .... also read the "The Runaway Jury" by John Grisham.... it's a preety good book but defiately not a must read...... it's an enjoyable experience so read it if u havent got any "must read" books pending on the books that u wanna read...


i m going to take up "Five point something and Catch - 22 " now....

happy reading
