I am very fond of reading books of any kind.since i'm away from BD it's difficult to get books in Bangla regularly.therefore i'm trying out my old passion with english novels mainly.
reading some of the John Grisham books who i like so much!
i just finished 'MONSOON' by Wilbur Smith and it was breathtaking!i just loved it.i'm eagerly waiting for the other sequels.anyone has read him?
i'd really appreciate if some novel lovers would share names of their favourite books with me so that i can read them!
thanx in advance. bye

Heard of him.. read some of them before (interestingly enough while I was in Bangladesh)

Anyway, John Grisham is one of the best writers I have read books of. Simple awsome. Pelican Brief, Runaway Jury are really good..

Try Ludlum... if you are into serious action.

Grishams cool, i never picked him up utill 'a time to kill', its way better than the film, and the film is by no means uncool.

ahh, im more into fantasy fiction. reading 'Wheel of Time' series at the moment by Robert Jordan, amzing stuff, but u goto be into that type of fiction.

If you want, have a go at 'Magician' by Raymond E Feist, also reallllly good, and is the kind of book to get you into fantasy fiction.

or Isaac Asimov is a cool sci fi writer, hes done a volume of short stories that are really good.
