Hey,

I wanted to know if anyone has read any good books recently.

I just read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and must say that it was quite different and I wasn't exposed to that genre at all before.

How about you guys? 😳

I hvnt heard abt any of these authors but I hv recently read night in call centre..It throws light on the booming BPO in India and how ppl associated wit it deal with the odd hr work!! I am in half way of Alchemist!!

PLease rite 2-3 lines about the books that u all hv read so that we know wat the book is all about..

We can also give various remarks depending how we liked the book
Highly Recommendable= Must Read
Recommendable= Good
Allrite= U may may not read it
Average=Avoidable

These remarks will be personal.. Someone might lik the book and someone might not.. So it will vary I feel


Night in Call Centre is Recommendable. A light hearted book and you will enjoy readin it..

I recently read this book called The Book Thief by Marcus Zusack
hes a relatively new author, but ht ebook was amazing!! he had a very new and distint style of writing, and the book was beautiful.. 👏
set in Nazi Germany, its bout how a young 11-year-old gurl,Giesel is taken away from her family, and how she spends her life with her foster parents...
away from political drama,it shows how a common man...a german himself suffered under the psychotic reign of Hitler..
its really very touching, but the author throws in humour evry now and then to lighten up the mood..
and ya..its narrated by Death...strange i know..but its highly interesting...n i guess it sort of shows that Death is just anuther phase..
the book is one of my faves...
Highly Reccommended..
👏 👏

ohh i read that.. its a page turner but pretty good..

and i would recommend 'if on a winter's night a traveller' if you like analytical bildungsromans or otherwise.. you could always read Marquez books..they simply rock!!
