NIce collection… have read some… havent read many… but then i like mostly fiction… real life is not something i wud connect with.. not that i dont like to read them.. but i usually have a different view than the one portrayed.. and hence fiction is better.. lolz…
By the way… have u read other books of Dan Brown? Angels & Deamons / Da Vinci Code are more popular as they have been made into movies … but i feel that deception point is much better as compared to these 2… or for that matter digital fortress is a plunge into some different area than religion…
Presently i am reading Frontline Pakistan… by Zahid Hussain… a take on the Pakistani Politics… covers mostly how Parvez Musharraf rose to be the dictator.. was written b4 he stepped down… read it… its good.

Hmmmm…Shantaram is the thickest book I ever read..but it was a good one.

If get a chance pick up “Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less” by Archer….its not so voluminious…and its real real good.

Never read Jeff Archer. Voluminous books are such a turn-off! That’s one thing thats keeping Shantaram away from me. :(

I have read 8 books mentioned in your list! :)

Quite common taste when it comes to books. So naturally gotta pick other 7 soon.

I loved Zahir…I connected with the book. I picked up several para from the book and jotted down in my notebook. Worth a read!

I was amazed when I read “Many Lives Many Masters”..I mean it was real hard to believe about life after death..and that too the way Weiss postulated.

“The Last Year of Being SIngle”….well, the incentive is too fascinating :) . Your hero would ne already up and running. :)

You dont like Jeff Archer?

I have read at least 5 of the books you mentioned. Maybe I should look up the other five too. :)

First time commenting here, but have been reading your blog for some time now. Love your writing style. Will definitely come back for more. :)

Pavan:~ Freedom at Midnight?? I thought u’d not want to remind me of that. Of that and of A Thousand Splendid suns. and Making the Minister Smile. and Eleven Minutes. and The Namesake. and many more!!
Abt what came to ur mind:
@1: Thanks, but no thanks.
@2: Refer book numbered 5.
@5: No exceptions. Jus get my book back! :(
@7: Maybe thats why I dint take 4 yrs to complete it! :)

Five Point Someone: ur rite. I HAD loved it. faded away when I discovered otehr beauties.

Jhumpa Lahiri: refer point 3. Not the book, the line about it. :)
