Hey hi IL
I am a new member and just chanced upon the thread. Hmmm real good to see we people share the same favourites.
I have been a voracious reader ever since i started my alphabets. So, the list goes from Archies, Tinkle, Chandamama, Gokulam, Enid Blyton, Nancy Drew's, JKRowling, Sydney Sheldon, Agatha, J Archer, Authur Hailey, Michael Connelly, Micheal Chrichton, Eric sehgal, Nora Roberts, Andrea kane, Johanna Lindsey, Jude Deveraux, Wood House, Dan Brown, Arundati Roy, Salman Rushdie, and still trying out as many Authors.
And apart from fiction, I have a good collection of Monk who sold his ferrari series of books, robin sharma, deepak chopra, eknath easwaran, and few of religion and self-help by various authors.
The favourite books list will go on and on, so i dont think i am going to mention it and end up taking your times.
Let me know of some other author's interesting books.
Cheers,
Padma

 

I was just going through your book list, i read some but would love to complete the list. I just want to add the book i am reading at present which is very interesting and couldn't lay down (even with 2 kids).

East of Eden by john steinbeck

 

I have always loved books all my life. There is not a single night that I can go to bed without reading atleast a page. I have to thank my mom for getting me into the habit of reading. I think my favs include..all of enid blyton's books ( as a kid), Robin Cook's Books ( when I wanted to be doctor) ,Prodigal daughter by Jeffrey Archer, Most of Sidney Sheldon's work, Gone with the wind by Margaret Mitchell, Pride and Prejudice, etc..etc. I want to read some thrillers. Any suggestions anybody? I love murder mystery, supernatural or any sort of thriller as long as its not a complete blood fest.

Thank you...
Sakshi.

Hi Sakshi
If you want what's- next- kind- of- suspense, try Grisham's books. You can start with "The Partner" or "The Firm". No murder mysteries here, but still very interesting page-turners.

Have fun reading

Sakshi - For murder mysteries my current fav is Ruth Rendell's Inspector Wexford series. I just finished 'Simisola'. Others are "Kissing the gunner's daughter", "Not in the flesh" , "Harm done" - I could go on and on...
