I've been thinking about spending less of my free time on the Internet doing fuck all. ofcourse I can actually study for my exams but that would suck a bit. So I've decided that I should read some good books.


So come on guys....recommend me a few good books to read and have a nice time.
















*No series of books like LOTR, Twilight or Harry Potter. I don't have that much time.

Everything is Illuminated

My sister told she loves this book.

I didn't ask her now. She used to tell me to read it instead of wasting my time online. So I think I'll read it.

^ I wasn't quite serious there.

Now I am.

My suggestion: Savita Bhabhi

Ask her what the book is about.

She does not live with me. Although I'll wiki this book

Quote :

A young American Jew, who shares a name with the author, journeys to Ukraine in search of Augustine, the woman who saved his grandfather's life during the Nazi liquidation of Trachimbrod, his family shtetl. Armed with many copies of an old photograph of Augustine and his grandfather, maps, cigarettes, and a fanny pack filled with Ziploc bags, Jonathan begins his adventure with Ukrainian native and soon-to-be good friend, Alexander "Alex" Perchov, who is his own age and very fond of American pop culture, albeit culture that is already out of date in the U.S. Alex has studied English at his university and is "premium" in his knowledge of the language, therefore he becomes the translator. Alex's "blind" grandfather and his "deranged seeing-eye bitch," Sammy Davis, Jr., Jr., accompany them on their journey.

The writing and structure received critical acclaim for the manner in which it switches between two story arcs: (1) fragments of Foer-the-character's novel-in-progress, where he tells in highly literary English a quasi-magical story about the citizens of Trachimbrod; and (2) a straightforward narrative of searching for Trachimbrod (an invented name for the real village Trochenbrod), as told by Alex in broken English. They are tied together by letters sent from Alex to Foer and attached to Alex's version. Alex's narrative is most notable for its broken English, which sounds as if he learned English from a thesaurus without ever hearing it spoken. Throughout his narrative, he makes frequent use of improper synonyms, such as using the word rigid to mean "difficult" or "hard".

I recommend reading any book of Dan Brown (my favorite author). All of them are ace.
My rating (in that order)
1. Angels and Demons
2. Digital Fortress
3. Da Vinci Code
4. Deception Point
5. The Lost Symbol

I recommend Digital Fortress and Deception Point. Really amazing reads.

Otherwise, if you want to read an epic of a book, you might go with the Godfather, or Shantaram. Also The Silence of The Lambs is a good read. Other than that there is the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy which is great fun. Also any Stephen King novel. I love them - I would rate Desperation the best of them (from the ones i have read by SK)

I got loads of other books too, but will have to check my inventory to remember some names i have forgotten

I am a novel buff.

the alchemist
one night @ call center
the white tiger
to kill a mocking bird
da vinci code
5 point someone

all famous and good books these

You've read any?


I have all Dan Brown books on the comp but really can't be arsed reading. I want something good and funny and interesting.



Honestly I'd prefer to read football books but you don't get good ones here.

If you want something good and funny, go with The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. Class.

Ive read none but few of my friends have and they said all this is quite good

I have read all of these, AND more.

PS The ones i posted.

Nice

Those are the most read books these days. Every fucking soul has read those books in my college. Not really interested in those.

Anyone knows where I can get good books on football?
