It is like asking to count stars, rating 5 best books! Yeah it is! May be we can write the 5 best authors. I thought the title should have been UR 5 favourite books! that would have meant more, anyway, These are the books that made me read them, leaving other works aside and I would like to tell abt them
1. First Among Equals by - Jeffrey Archer -
The book revolves around elections and voters and MPs and makes an interesting read. The book is a must read for Indians who hate politics and think Politics is all about making money. .
I read this book, whenever I was at home and was always thinking abt it for the three days that I read the book even when I was on duty. My mind was always on this book. The book is really very difficult to put down.
The characters of Simon Kerslake and his wife, Elizabeth and their behaviours are really exciting. The Financial problems that Elizabeth and Charles Seymour are and the way both of them think about the day when their salary would come so that they could pay the bills just makes us think of the lower middle class families who are always thinking of the 1st of the month so that the salary comes, and things can be bought.
Secondly the internal tussle and cold war of the two MPs and their behaviour to towards the public is really great.
And most importantly the last line it is a resounding climax to a great Plot.
Even if u hate politics, even then this book is to be read. U cant keep it down till u read the last line.
2. The Partner - John Grisham
Not being in USA we donot know how the law machinery works there, but this book is the best read, if we believe that it works the way it is mentioned there in the book. Partrick the hero is really so intelligent that we cant think the way he does and how he fools his partners, the country and the readers as well and the finish is really interesting, he being fooled by this own trusted friend.
3. Fountainhead
Great! Objectivism is the books result and although a little difficult to understand the book is a good read and is my favourite. to understand the book correctly I had to read twice, but it is worth reading many times as everytime u read a new thing appears to have comeout. The characters of Dominique and Howard Roark need to be studied are something like role models,
4. Study in Scarlet - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The study in scarlett is a book I refer to friends, who come to me to ask that I want to read novels, and I give them this book read this one, and make a beginning. For readers this book can just keep them attached and moved. Really interestingly and thats why this book’s special, the way Sherlock Holmes is presented and the in depth analysis he does are really nice and the way Holmes make Deduction a science rather than an art is something that is to be learned from.
5. Agatha christie - Sparkling cynade
The greatness of stories is that u do not know who is the detective and who is the Killer till the end. It is special thing, the person whom u are suspecting to be villian turns out to be the hero, at the end, and thats the speciality of this book, also the writing style is so different. It is very much special, but like many books of Agatha christie, the lady who is killed is rich.
