If I ever met him, I think we will have a good chat.
Nevertheless, I have finished all his books in a day flat.... so I hold high opinions about him.
In all the three books, the characters come alive and you actually start feeling for them.
So this one is definitely my recommendation.
Completely off the topic....
A very interesting thing...that my dad told me was about his rendezvous with an old friend at the Mumbai airport. This man owns a book store at the airport. And has introduced my dad to several authors over the years....They became good friends...en route!
My dad has stopped travelling like before, so this time when he landed at the airport. He saw that the airport was under construction and the his favorite shop wasn't there. He was sad and decided to grab some coffee. Just next to the coffee stand, was a small new bookshop with the name changed. When he entered the store...he met his friend. They were glad and this time he introduced my dad to this "The Ghost" by Robert Harris.
I didn't wanna give a review on it, but just highly recommend it.
And then there's the book I read this weekend "The Secret"
A best seller and even has a movie on it. However, it gives all the funda's of life that we are all aware of. We do understand the difference between right and wrong. Sometimes, we apply it and sometimes we don't. I wish I could make money stating the obvious. I was never born with a golden spoon. So things would come hard to me.
By the way, the book's cover is brilliant.... "Kabhi naye packet mein beche...tumko cheez puraani"
:-)
Kudos to the cover designer!
Delhi has lovely weather today. I just took a stroll with my good friends....
Enjoy the unlucky Tuesday!

I just got my hands on EAT PRAY LOVE by Elizabeth Gilbert... Too soon to comment, but it has been intriguing so far and why not since this american woman is out to get pleasure in Italy, devotion in india and the rest on indonesian island of Bali... her book is the 109th bead (there are 108 beads in a rosary)...
I started reading SECRETS, couldn't go too far...that book has too much to absorb...and i ain't no sponge, baby.

Am still with Somerset Maugham, who's given me company on all those long drawn out and boring flights while in the USA
I am halfway through Jeffrey Archer's latest " A Prisoner of Birth". It is quite interesting, not the vintage Archer though.
