ok lets get some activity in this "not-so-social group" Lol.

So all I want to ask you booklovers is ur Top 3 all time fav novels and briefly say y u think others should read it.

Starting with mine

1. Kite runner (khaled Hosseini) - cos there is constant revelations, just a pure thrill all the way through.

2. Perfume-Story of a murderer (patrick suskind) - what a freaky book, deals with something serious (murder, canibalism) yet theres this humour element to it!

3.To kill a mockingbird (Harper lee)- its been a fav for a long time, this is a book that made a difference to american society without being a bore...love it!

duz any1 here read?

:hehe:.. We sure do, just dont have time to write it here..which is just not soooo good...*bummer*

Peer -e- Kaamil (Umera Ahmed) - each and every single word of it... made me cry, laugh and to think about my ownself.

Tess of the d'Urbervilles (Thomas Hardy) - Story of a pure faithful woman

I just read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.. extraordinary book with important life lessons
Rani and Sukh by Bali Rai.. because it was the first book I read that i got to the end of!
Thousand Splendid Suns - Im reading it at the moment, and i cant put it down!

Harry Potter 2,4,5,6,1,3,7

One step at a time

I'll write up more when I think of them :)

I guess I'll have to default with these selections for the time being.

1. The Bell Jar (by Sylvia Plath): A superbly written semi-autobiographical account of the authors downward spiral into mental illness.

2. 1984 (by George Orwell): The classic dystopian novel. Fictitious social commentary, will even more poignant subject matter considering the ever evolving technological age we live in--and reflecting on the loss of personal liberties/privacy that accompany it.

3. The Mists of Avalon (by Marion Zimmer Bradley): A retelling of the Arthurian legends from a more female/pagan friendly perspective. Very rich imagery, thoroughly enjoying.

naina1n1 Thomas Hardy is incredible, you must read 'the return of the native'..it has another female character Eustacia Vye who is the protagonist, she's proud, ambitious and manipulative...the opposite of Tess.
