Nice thread Romeesa....how come nobody thought of it earlier? ::)

^Exam: Yup I also love Dan Brown's Novels.......I've read all of 'em... ;D

Well, my favourite author to date is Agatha Christie.....the way she writes, her plots and characters are all breathtaking....its really a marvel someone can create such witty dialogue and keep a person's suspense the whole time!

I've read most of the Hercule Poirot series.....going to start Miss Marple now  :D
Save Mars...it's the only habitable planet that doesn't have schools ;D

OMGGGG. AWESOME!!! ;D HI5!

HAHA. I will. Actually, my sisters read the 6th and 7th and they discouraged me to read ahead- story going down and all. ::)

I don't exactly remember (long time ago). I had this Enid Blyton book which was FULL of short stories- LOVED THEM ALL. <333

Paulo Coelho's :
The Alchemist- pretty good :D
11 minutes- Fine (not bad) :)
Veronika decides to die- Okayish
Brida- T.E.R.R.I.B.L.E. I never read such a horrible book in my life. ::)

I don't feel like checking out his other books. :P

i aint a book addict but i love reading novels !!


just finished reading paulo coelho the winner stands alone !!! the story line is good  but his way of writing !!! omg nooooooooooooooooooo  i so hate it  never going to read his novels again !!  he talks about too much of rubbish which is no where needed or related to the story line !!!! Boring !!! hate hate hate !  >:( >:( >:( >:(


That first line is contradicting itself......

Same here; hate Paulo Coelho, a bumbling old fool is what I would call him, hate Agatha Christie too...

Nice thread Romeesa!!

Here's a book list I would recommend:

1. Enid Blyton; Famous five, Secret Seven etc...
2. Eoin Colfer; Artemis Fowl series, supernatural etc...
3. Christopher Paolini; Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr...
4. Robert Ludlum; stand-alone spy thrillers, definitely worth a read, though you may get intimidated by the length and complexity... for advanced readers
5. Terry Brooks; Shannara series; dark fantasy, for advanced readers.
6. Alistair McLean; amazing use of language. stand alone spy/action thrillers, generally nautical in nature, of moderate length.

Ah well, call me a nerd, but I love novels (and hate study books).... and no, I don't wear thick-rimmed glasses, or any glasses for that matter....
