I loved "Sisters" by Steel and anything by Grisham will hold your attention. They are both very versatile authors!
hey....i started reading it but then left it in between....so cant help ou there....but i plan on completing it....then i'll let you know....
ya, i love Steel's books...she writes alot about women...i'm drawn to that kinda boos alot...i can't read science fictions....i find them a bore...i read any other books other than that...i see that u have a coolection of Indian writers on your shelf..=) what sorta books do u like?
hey there.. im good, n how about you? luks like ur a Sidney Sheldon lover as well =)
well, i saw the post you put out to ask about "Malice". that's how i came across your profile.
How are things - engineering, Bangalore, reading, and so on?
i wasnt an awful book but.. the story was a little dull and the ending wasnt very great either
oh, well yes, I still say Chinesse Cinderella is worth reading.
It's a really interesting point of view on a post-apocalyptic society.
Yes, deffinityl worth reading. Chinesse Cinderella is a powerful book and I realy enjoyed it. The book kept me so interested I finished it within the first week I got it, even though I wasnt required to finish it untill the end of the summer.
Thank you for the invitation to friendship.
You are welcome to go through my shelf, with reviews I have been writing to record what I think of the various books or writers, and ask about any book I might have read.
I do have favourites among the well known ones, and they are sort of obvious when you go through the shelf. Isaac Asimov, Jane Austen, Pearl Buck, Brönte sisters, Agatha Christie, AJ Cronin, and towards the end of roman alphabet George Bernard Shaw, John Steinbeck, PG Wodehouse, are some of them. In the middle there are W Somerset Maughm and Daphne du Maurier and others. John Grisham and Frederick Forsyth amongst current ones and to some extent Brown though I don't know if he will ever match his most famous work again. Arthur Hailey does a good job of describing various industries and Upton Sinclair is without parallel in his general honesty and particularly in his 11 volume World's End series depicting the Eurocentric world view from end of first world war to the cold war, giving everything in between that he could that was important in the world.
I suppose this is not very classic literature, and there must be others I liked, but it should do as a list to begin with.
I have three question from you on my page about Sons and Lovers (2) and about Great Gatsby, and while I am fond of neither they are literature, so I am in a quandary. If you find a good review from someone who likes it go by that, but I think you are a bit young judging from the icon photo that looks like my baby brother when he was your age. Postpone them would be the safest I can say.
