Amay Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 (edited) Searched for something familiar, but got nothing, anyone out there who reads post your favourite books and genres and possibly a review or any comments on the particular book. Favourite Genre: Non-Fiction/Adventure Recently read: The Beach (Alex Garland) & Shanataram (Gregory David Roberts) The Beach was an awesome book...brilliant writing style and an amazing tale, 4/5 althought I did'nt like the movie adaptation so much. Shantaram..5/5 man, this book is a classic. Ca'nt wait to see what Mira Nair does with the movie Edited September 5, 2007 by AmeyC 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Nice Thread Idea. Cheers Amey !! Currently Reading 1) Shantaram (Non-fiction) (supposedly) (some portions leave me incredulous. I dont think that all sections of the book are true.) 2) Blink (Non Fiction) A nice book about the power of making split second decisions 3) The Children of Hurin (Fiction) J.R.R. Tolkien's last book, recently finished by his grandson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ne0 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 cool, nice to see some bookworms here. Last book i read was "Catcher in the rye". Heard a lot about this book, it didnt disappoint me entirely. But the book is way too pessimistic. The last non-fiction I read was "Who moved my cheese". Its a very good book and a must for ppl who are working. Some of my fav authors: 1. John Grisham 2. James Hadley chase 3. Arthur Hailey 4. Sidney Sheldon I read a lot of fiction as well. Too many favs to list them. But most of the books by the above authors I like the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argruid Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Well its typical King. It is highly entertaining and an absolute page turner. Although it may not be as brilliant as some of his other books, i thoroughly enjoyed it. Its like a zombie apocalypse story caused by cell phones and it does get pretty brutal in parts. I would absoutely recommend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ne0 Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 ^^ I liked his "The fourth estate". Really awesome book. But if you look closely at the plot, the basic storyline is similar to Kane and Abel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
