Mariyam Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 very good book ! quite a few of Wilde's famous quotes are from this play. you should read Picture of Dorian Gray too if u havent.. I haven't. Will read that after I'm done with this. Oscar Wilde is arguably the wittiest writer of all time. :icflove:
punjabi_khota Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Knocking on heaven's doors by Lisa Randall. Apne Cambridge ki local superstar aunty :nice: I didn't buy this book. I just went to the local bookstore and read some of it. Going back soon :D

jeeves Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Excellent read............fitting end to the series.though the ending could have been better. yup ...agree with you
Prakat Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 ^ dark humour at its finest. Reading Lucknow Boy by Vinod Mehta.
bulbul Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 guys suggest any other good Dark humour books... Already read Hitchhikers guide to galaxy (not utterly dark humour)
Sachin=GOD Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 ^ dark humour at its finest. Reading Lucknow Boy by Vinod Mehta. thats next on my list after finishing "Secret of the Nagas".
Prakat Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 ^ I've been meaning to pick those up as well. Read about 20 pages of this one at a relative's place during diwali and liked it. Lucknow Boy is a delight. :nice: Essential reading for you especially I'd say :)
Sachin=GOD Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Going to start "the secret of the nagas" in a day or two. finished it. I was a bit disappointed with this book. Wasn't as exciting or interesting as the 1st. It seems as if the author was trying a bit too hard to live up to the high expectations set by the 1st book.
b555 Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 finished it. I was a bit disappointed with this book. Wasn't as exciting or interesting as the 1st. It seems as if the author was trying a bit too hard to live up to the high expectations set by the 1st book. :ohmy: i liked the 2nd one better and felt it was better paced then first one

Sachin=GOD Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 :ohmy: i liked the 2nd one better and felt it was better paced then first one many people liked the 2nd more than the 1st but for some reason I thought the 1st was better. Now I'm reading a collection of short stories by many great writers like E.M. Forster, Walter de la Mare, Mulk Raj Anand, Leo Tolstoy, Alexander Pushkin, Edgar Allan Poe, Guy de Maupassant, Anton Chehov, O. Henry, Ernest Hemingway etc.
Precambrian Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Decided to gift my office colleague who's mad about cricket, a book. Of course the first thing to pop into mind was Ramachandra Guha's seminal "Corner of a Foreign Field". Ordering on flipkart, I decided to gift myself a copy of the same as well :D Started reading today....
