Reader's Paradise discussion

Have U ever come across with such nuts as it seemed would place U in an asylum for sniggering round the clock, disregarding the time and place U are in?

yes. Present Perfect. It was worst book I ever read.

Oh, yeah, the latest one- A Farewell to Arms :/
And, not to forget The Krishna Key, ew!!

I've seen so many posts like this. Really for me, I just found it smart to create a spreadsheet of all the books I've read and a short summary. Most of these books I purchased online so I have an okay Idea as to how many people actually recommended these books as well.

1. Look Again by Lisa Scottoline : http://amzn.to/1YXBNax

This book portrayed a mother's love regardless of how you became a parent. Not only that, it had you asking yourself, would you, could you, make that call? There is a real emotional pull between doing what is right and NEVER wanting to give away your own child. I think that the way she goes about finding out the truth is a very real look at not wanting to show all your cards until you absolutely have to.

2. 15th Affair by James Patterson : http://amzn.to/1YXCbWk

I love reading James Patterson's book; but I especially love and enjoy the Woman's Murder Club series. A cop, a medical examiner, a reporter and a prosecutor make up the club, and when they get together, look out! This book was special. Can Boxer trust her husband. He was missing for over a week, and Boxer finds out he has lied to her. I don't want to reveal too much, but this book kept me turning pages all day. Yep, I could not stop reading it and read it one day. I highly recommend it.

3. The City of Mirrors: A Novel by Justin Cronin : http://amzn.to/1YXBUmk

Really loved this trilogy - will make an excellent film if they ever get around to making it!!! I only wish I had been able to read these books consecutively without waiting for a few years between each one. It was a little difficult to catch up on things and remember where the story I had left off. Although, I will say this one was easier to jump into than the leap from the first book to the second.

4. The Last Mile (Amos Decker series) by David Baldacci : http://amzn.to/1XvtROM

The Last Mile refers to the last journey a Death Row inmate walks as he or she heads toward his/her execution (even if it is only 30 to 50 yards or so). In this novel, the author begins his story with Melvin Mars, a convicted murderer on the Texas death row, just hours before his execution. Spared by a confession by an individual awaiting execution in Alabama, Melvin's case attracts the attention of Amos Decker, the Memory Man, traveling to his new job with an FBI Task Force?

5. Extreme Prey by John Sandford : http://amzn.to/1YXCdxH

I've read everything this guy has written. Some I like more than others but he has never failed to disappoint me! These books are the reason I think I'd like Minnesota..... I'm especially fond of the books featuring Lucas Davenport. If you are looking for an absorbing read, then look no further. This one is perfect for the plane! I started it on the flight out to NYC and finished it on the return flight home. Enjoy!

That's My Contribution. :)

The book that i found really funny was Anything for you ma'am by Tushar Raheja . Catch 22 was also hilarious. Apart from that there are few sequences in R K Narayan's books that have given me serious fits of laughter.

Hi-five, Vikas. RKN books make me laugh too.
Catch-22 is on my TBR.

Yeah, I remember i was reading The Financial expert while the lecture was going on. There is a scene there where the protagonist wakes up from a nightmare screaming 'Aiyo Aiyo' . I laughed out so loud at that that i got thrown out the class. I made it a point then not to read his works while the lecture was going on.

Haha....I'm yet to read Financial expert. Actually, Gorab and I are on a mission to read all his 16 novels.
Try "Malgudi Days". RKN in his best. Many stories are hilarious. Some are emotional. Overall a complete package.

I have read that infact i have read most of his works. I read them when i was active on Shelfari. Goodreads came later so i didn't updated here. These are the ones that are remaining:
A tiger for Malgudi
My Days(His autobiography)
And his works on indian mythology
Although i think i'll revisit Malgudi again sometime soon. I'm thinking of having a R K narayan month in which i'll read all his novels. They are short so i think the whole lot can be done in a month.
