A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME- Stephen Hawking
all HARRY POTTER books -J. K. Rowling

[eggman]

THE GODFATHER -Mario Puzo, my favorite book Awesome....awesome...awesome

MASTER OF GAME and IF TOMMOROW COMES by Sidney Sheldon, ultimate page turner books with suspense in every minutes read

CATCH 22 is also very good, though unreal sometimes, but very good read and will make you laugh like mad

ALCHEMISTand LIKE THE FLOWING RIVER by Paulo Coleho....amazing piece of work....so deep and so simple...specially ALCHEMIST is amazing....its beyond words to describe that book

A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME- Stephen Hawking is a great book on science. His way of describing complex science using simple english is mind-blowing(even though its a science book, but it has only one eqn in it....simplicity is the main feature of book)

DA VINCI CODEand ANGELS AND DEMONS - Dan Brown are excellent, excellent mixture of revealing facts and chilling stories

HARRY POTTER SERIES - J.K.Rowling is good too, specially for fantasy lovers

ONE NIGHT AT THE CALL CENTER and FIVE POINT SOMEONE- both the books by CHETAN BHAGAT is quite good and interesting to read
Thats all I can remember now.....
