    May I suggest 'The Emperor Of All Maladies' by Siddhartha Mukherjee, since it has won Pulitzer Prize 2011, and made all Indians very proud?

    Even if you buy the book, at INR499, it should be worth all the money.

    Hi Moumita,
    Thanx for the suggestion. But for a beginning, I assume it would be better if you could suggest books for which a downloadable version can be procured. Once we are into the Book Club in full swing, people would not mind spending a decent amount on paperbacks.
    Just my two pence!!!

    As far as my suggestion goes:
    Would suggest some chick-lit for a start..
    The Boy Next Door - Meg Cabot

    My suggestion:

    Five point someone - Chetan Bhagat

    A very nice breezy and humorous read.

    Hi Vidya,

    You want us to suggest ebooks? And not paper books? The fun of reading to me is only in paper books. And the one I suggested, am sure will be available in libraries soon, for not everyday an Indian-born wins Pulitzer, isn't it?

    But, no problem, I'll try and suggest ebooks as well. :)

    Hey Moumita,
    I didnt mean ebooks alone..what I meant was if the book you suggest, is available as an ebook, all the more better..it will give us a wider reading audience..:)..You can suggest any book you want..(that was just a suggestion from me)
    Like you, even I cant read ebooks..I would procure any book which wins maximum number of votes here.

    Keep up the reading spirit!!!
