Three best books you have read...

hey, i just got this idea after posting my Da Vinci code thread....
give the names of 3 of your favourite books and share the best with all


1.The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
2.The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand
3.Harry Potter(All 5)- J.K.Rowling

 

1. Geetanjali -- Rabindranath Tagore

2. Let Us C -- Yashavant Kanetkar

3. Modern Operating Systems -- Andrew S. Tanenbaum

 

Three Best books!

My three best books are varied choices:
Here they are in random order-

1) The Green Mile, Stephen King.

2) Seven Habits of Highly Effective people, Stephen Covey.

3) The Goose is Out, OSHO.

Thanks

 

The books of Osho are of a little bit different taste.

 

The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho
Zen & The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance - Robert Pirsig
Siddhartha - Herman Hesse

 

Godfather (actually all Mario Puzo bks)
Love story
Harry Potter (especially 3 Azkaban)

 

uhhhh. i read harry potter- recently. the next 1 is coming out July 16. its the 6th one.

 

Non-fiction
1. Fountainhead and Atlas shrugged by Ayn rand (Actually it's like part-1 & 2 that's why I have kept them together ; and although it is a fiction novel I would like to keep them under non-fiction category)
2. Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig
3. Lee Iacocca : An autobiography


Fiction
1. Seventh secret by Irving wallace
2. Not a penny more , not a penny less by Jeffery archer
3. God father by Mario puzo

 

Putting just three is really tough.....

1) Catcher In The Rye - J D Salinger
2) LOTR - J R R Tolkein
3) The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand

In that order.

 

Amit, Ayn Rand just carried forward her philosophy of "Objectivism" in "Atlas Shrugged". I don't think we can call "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged" as Part 1 and Part 2.

"Zen and..." is a fantastic book. Me also liked it very much.

 

The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho
The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
Girl Interrupted - Susanna Kaysen

I also love the Harry Potter series and The Perry Mason series.

 

Phantom- Slave market of Mukaar parts I and II - indrajal comics
Mandrake - Alena the Enchantrass parts I and II - Indrajal comics
Jataka Tales - Amar Chitra Katha

the joy reading these comic books gave me as a kid cannot be matched by any book.

@Sanjay.. Let Us C is one of the best computer books i have read as a computer illiterate.. i've memorised it almost

nyways.. i remember 1 book... the detail in that book can never match ny i h've evr read.. aftr readin that book.. whtevr suspense & thriler novels i ve come across.. seemed 2 be trash..

the book i'm talkin abt is..

The Day of The Jackal... Fredrick Forsythe.

 

Yeah Subhro, Let Us C is such a book which changed my life. My interest in programming is due to "Let Us C" only. And so, I'm a programmer today. I think C is the best computer language. So, cheers up to Yashyant Kanethkar.

@all....lolz...i never thought of comics while posting this thread..

sry guys.. offtopic..

 

Aleric,I didn't mean that it was part 1 & 2 .I just said that it was 'like' part 1 & 2 since both the books really dealt with the same philosophy .
