My Best Friend

There's always this saying that "Books are ones best friend" and here let me list out some of my favorite authors books.

  • Eric Segal :

I started reading his books only during my college days and the first book i read was Love Story. It is a very simple story but i was marveled at it. The way he weaved through the story was outstanding. I read all his books later except Acts of faith.
The Class is yet another truly inspiring book. Doctors,Prizes and Only Love were also too good ones. All his books are riveting and more of emotional sagas but are worth a read!!!

  • Jeffery Archer :

I started reading his novels when i was in my 10th std. I like his books but not all his novels were good. Kane and Abel(& sequels) , Sons of Fortune , A matter of Honor were awesome!! I tried reading some of his other works and couldn't continue cos i felt them too boring.

  • Sidney Sheldon :

I'm done with all his books and sadly he just passed away a few days back. May his soul RIP. His works are fit to be just directed into a movie and nothing much can we really learn from his books other than his style of language. Most books are trashy yet he was intelligent enough to make it gripping.

  • J.K.Rowling's books are a nice pass time!!

I'm currently reading Micheal Crichton's works!!His books are truly insightful. He rightly blends facts and fiction and his books might be beyond intellectual reach of few people. :-P

Hi,
Thanks for visting my blog :-).
Was going through your blog and this article caught my attention ...;-) ...Yeah I used to read lots of novels during college days and I have read books by all the authors you have mentioned ...I would say Jeffery Archer is still one my fav ;-).Not sure whether you will like it ..but if you get a chance, do read - The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand ..I bet that would change your life ;-) ...

Cheers,
-Vishal
