Life After God by Douglas Coupland
It was such a pleasure reading this book. I'm thinking about reading it again, something I rarely do.

^ it is a series of random short stories. I really liked it cause some of the settings of the stories is the city that I live in.

you know what, forget about Life After God. You should think about reading
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. It is a very easy and enjoyable read. I really don't like telling people the plot of a book, so sorry, I'm not telling you what it is about, you're just gonna have to read it and find out yourself.

The Alchemist. This is the book I will always recommend someone to read, especially those who have lost the meaning of life and want to find it. Only the philosophy of the alchemist can change your life.







Let the Sea be my mother, and the Moon my father;
I will swim with the mermaids forever thereafter....

Your Thurst for Reading is appriciated ,

One Scholor has said

Muslims are the Most Lucky People Ever on this Planet and at the Same time they are The Most unlucky People..........

Who have Holy Quran with them in its complete form, But Only Read It (without understanding it) or even have not Read it.

I will Very Strongly Recommend THE HOLY BOOK

Start Its Reading You will Never come Back in Reading it More and More.......

Islamic International University in Islam Abad has one ACADMY named as DAWA ACADAMY , they have Holy Quran Correspondence Course , Subsribe for Their Snail Mail Service even abroad.

You will Really find difference among the Authors.

shantaram is about a gora escaped convict who find himself in India - whilst there he become the 'doctor' of a slum and then runs in with the local mafia.

My synopsis doesnt do it justice. Its honestly one of the greatest books i've ever read.
