For those interested in reading Indian authors writing in English, do read Untouchable by Mulk Raj Anand.

Read that.. a good read... If you liked this genre and like reading hindi, i dont think you will find anything better than TAMAS from Bhishm Sahani - one of my favourites.

Read The Winnning Way by Harsha Bhogle....beautifully writren .. explaining all imp concepts of management through cricket..very effective and easy to understand....various ex from sachin to aus team to wi in 80's.. A MUST READ...

For those interested in reading Indian authors writing in English, do read Untouchable by Mulk Raj Anand. It is about a day in the life of an 'untouchable' kid Bakha in pre-Independence India. Although the genre is fiction, the book obviously draws heavily from the reality of an India divided on the lines of caste and religion. The last 15-odd pages of the book reflect on conflicting ideologies that existed in India at that time, each envisaging independence but with different core-values.

And for crime fiction lover Millenium series is a great series.
We already have the movie for first part "The girl with the Dragon Tattoo"
And Hornet Nest is best in the series

India after Gandhi by Ramchandra Guha is an awesome read if interested in modern history. Very useful for CAT aspirants too..

Also "The Quants" is a good book who wants to know how algorithmic trading and Quants brought 2008 recession.

And a must read is Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely. Great book on Behavioral economics. Its not a lecture but collection of experiment and its outcome. Damn interesting , I must say.

the lucknow boy!!!read it for its beautifully written autobiography of an editor of leading mag.also has interesting inside stories about who's who of India.

Guys ,plz suggest any book in the league of "INDIA UNBOUND"by Gurcharan Das.

I am still searching "man behind trains- Watson"

For ppl interested in reading biographies, go for "Dreams from my father" by Barack Obama and also " straight from the gut" by Jack Welch

Short stories lover can read the short stories by various Indian authors published by Children book Trust (CBT Publications)

One such Omnibus I had bought when I was a kid is called, "Short Stories Golden Collection by Arup Kumar Datta"
Man, it is one of the best books I have read so far.

And whenever I go back home, and have the chance, I take that book out, and read stories from them.
It had 4 stories:
The Kaziranga Trail or something
The Blind Witness (Telefilm made on this by the name of Netraheen Sakshi)
Smack
and one more I dont remember...

2 stories based in Assam while 2 from Mumbai.


Again a must read for short story lovers.

Brand new thread for books

Few weeks back ,completed Losing My Virginity by Richard Branson

Dont go by the title of the book ..

Its a fascinating read and fast paced book :cheerio:..

Highly recommended for people who hate reading biographies/autobiographies

Reading "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch..

For someone who loved to read suspense thrillers and watch hindi feature films during summer on Chhutti Chhutti aired in Doordarshan I have just the right set of short stories for you.

Try reading Satyajeet Ray's short stories on Feluda's Adventures. Feluda is the Indian Sherlock Holmes, and I tell you, the stories are AWESOME!!!

Perfect mix of simple plot, comedy, thrilling suspense, and presence of mind.

The language is super lucid too, so will act as a perfect gift to small kids too who are picking up reading books :)

Another such set of short stories collection of Satyajeet Ray goes by the name of Indigo. These are all HORROR STORIES written by him, and needless to say, these are very well written too.:)

I used to visit the old thread whenever I was in a dire need of a good book to read.. Never got disappointed.. Have got some masterpieces just because of that thread..
Hope the trend continues :)
Anyway, reading Alchemy of Desire by Tarun Tejpal now.. Amazing read.. Got it from Just Books, Powai :)
Cheaper at indiaplaza than Flipkart..

Suggest some simple books coz i dont like to read much
