The Godfather
Added on 11-02-2006
This was the first big people novel I read in school. And maybe, because of this book, I am still hooked to novels. Mario Puzo created something so great with this book that he should never have tried to write again because nothing can compare to Godfather.
I dont think there will be anybody who does not know the story line. --kavita bhavesh gala, RxPG

Added on 11-02-2006
Isn'T this the most famous of Richard Bachs books? It teaches you so much about life through the eyes of a bird. A bird who does not accept mediocrity! Who wants to live life to the fullest and is not afraid to be different. It teaches you not to give up your dreams in spite of failures! Read this book one page at a time. So that the book grows into you and maybe then you will come close to becoming Jonathan Livingston Seagull! --kavita bhavesh gala, RxPG

Atlas Shrugged
Added on 11-02-2006
first, the shortcomings,as these are few and qualitative; the book is voluminous,dense,set in a different time and really gloomy.but as the real message starts to show itself a sense of deep connection with the book prevails.the book talks about the individual,his pride and ego and the desire to achieve.And how it builds and not hinder the respect for others, and more profoundly what respect is.
it handles all this with such depth that it changed my thinking for ever.
a must read.

The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream
Added on 10-02-2006
Like the one-time bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, The Alchemist presents a simple fable, based on simple truths and places it in a highly unique situation. And though we may sense a bestselling formula, it is certainly not a new one: even the ancient tribal storytellers knew that this is the most successful method of entertaining an audience while slipping in a lesson or two. Brazilian storyteller Paulo Coehlo introduces Santiago, an Andalucian shepherd boy who one night dreams of a distant treasure in the Egyptian pyramids. And so he's off: leaving Spain to literally follow his dream.
Along the way he meets many spiritual messengers, who come in unassuming forms such as a camel driver and a well-read Englishman. In one of the Englishman's books, Santiago first learns about the alchemists--men who believed that if a metal were heated for many years, it would free itself of all its individual properties, and what was left would be the "Soul of the World." Of course he does eventually meet an alchemist, and the ensuing student-teacher relationship clarifies much of the boy's misguided agenda, while also emboldening him to stay true to his dreams. "My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy confides to the alchemist one night as they look up at a moonless night.
"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself," the alchemist replies. "And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity." --synopsis, RxPG

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time: Adult Edition
Added on 10-02-2006
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a murder mystery novel like no other. The detective, and narrator, is Christopher Boone. Christopher is fifteen and has Asperger's, a form of autism. He knows a very great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns and the truth. He hates the colours yellow and brown and being touched. He has never gone further than the end of the road on his own, but when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered he sets out on a terrifying journey which will turn his whole world upside down.
Excellent book to learn everything about Aspergers Syndrome. --synopsis, RxPG

The Da Vinci Code
Added on 10-02-2006
Robert Langdon, Harvard Professor of symbology, receives an urgent late-night call while in Paris: the curator of the Louvre has been murdered. Alongside the body is a series of baffling ciphers. Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Da Vinci - and further. The curator, part of a secret society named the Priory of Sion, may have sacrificed his life to keep secret the location of a vastly important religious relic hidden for centuries. It appears that the clandestine Vatican-sanctioned Catholic sect Opus Dei has now made its move. Unless Landon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the pieces of the puzzle, the Priory's secret - and a stunning historical truth - will be lost forever. --synopsis, RxPG
