eleven minutes is a great book too and u wont be disapointed

Eleven Minutes is a good read. Literally, I never put the book down till I finish it!

For those Stephen King fans, Salem's Lot is one master pieces. Specially if you liked Bram Stocker's Dracula.

Is there books that match Bram Stocker's Dracula? I am very much into vampires.

The Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles series is very engaging.

11 minutes was interesting i agree

I can sense you like brazilian lady. It was a good read, i was keen to know at first, why the title of the book is ELEVEN MINUTES. Is it "eleven minutes" only?

Hello every one

I am new in city. been relocated from uk (Manchester) because of my job. I read this forum, spent all my friday insurfing. i really like the way you people share your ideas.

Hope to hear from your side

i like more The alchemist, by Coelho.

it seems that nobody here read books anymore

i just finished 'the kite runner' and its wonderful.... as soon as i finished it i went and bought 'a thousand splendid suns' by the same author.... looking forward to it....

Hey love those books too......I felt sorry for the actor (boy) in kite runner that they have to escape afghanistan 'coz of threats.

we have heard the story a thousand times... but hosseini's rendition was absolutely superb.... touched my heart.... i bought the book based on one comment by Isabelle Allende "after reading this, everything else seemed to be bland" ... i totally agree with her....

Im only showing my sympathy to the boy who play the part in the film, such acerbic attitude of yours......doesn't really have space in here....

i dint mean anything like that... i am sorry for the boy... i was trying to say tht even though the story is something known to all of us, the way hosseini portrayed it was wonderful and brilliant....

Its the most amazing fiction i have came across... self recognition and an insight of human psychology is fantastic.

Its abt self revival and new understanding of the nature of love, the power of destiny and fate and following ur heart to ur destined place.

just finished reading the biography of E.Hemingway by Jeffry Meyers..
It's excellent, it's exhaustively rich and it's a hihgly recommended reading..

I have looked around for Dark Eros by Thomas Moore/ 95 Spring Publications however, couldn’t find it in Dubai. Any ideas on would it be delivered if ordered on amazon.com..?

Let's start with the question every Dan Brown fan wants answered: Is The Lost Symbol as good as The Da Vinci Code? Simply put, yes. Brown has mastered the art of blending nail-biting suspense with random arcana (from pop science to religion), and The Lost Symbol is an enthralling mix. And what a dazzling accomplishment that is, considering that rabid fans and skeptics alike are scrutinizing every word.

The Lost Symbol begins with an ancient ritual, a shadowy enclave, and of course, a secret. Readers know they are in Dan Brown territory when, by the end of the first chapter, a secret within a secret is revealed. To tell too much would ruin the fun of reading this delicious thriller, so you will find no spoilers here. Suffice it to say that as with many series featuring a recurring character, there is a bit of a formula at work (one that fans will love). Again, brilliant Harvard professor Robert Langdon finds himself in a predicament that requires his vast knowledge of symbology and superior problem-solving skills to save the day. The setting, unlike other Robert Langdon novels, is stateside, and in Brown's hands Washington D.C. is as fascinating as Paris or Vatican City (note to the D.C. tourism board: get your "Lost Symbol" tour in order). And, as with other Dan Brown books, the pace is relentless, the revelations many, and there is an endless parade of intriguing factoids that will make you feel like you are spending the afternoon with Robert Langdon and the guys from Mythbusters.

Nothing is as it seems in a Robert Langdon novel, and The Lost Symbol itself is no exception--a page-turner to be sure, but Brown also challenges his fans to open their minds to new information. Skeptical? Imagine how many other thrillers would spawn millions of Google searches for noetic science, superstring theory, and Apotheosis of Washington. The Lost Symbol is brain candy of the best sort--just make sure to set aside time to enjoy your meal. --Daphne Durham

Try "The Quickie" by James Patterson. simply, it's perfectly amazing. I even took it with me to the office to read few pages at the break time. try it and never regret.

I've just finished reading 'My Name is Red' by Orhan Pamuk. An historical novel set in Istanbul during the reign of Ottoman Sultan Murat III, it concerns the fate of miniaturists and illuminators whose art form began during the Timurid Dynasty. Brillinat book!

Anyone here read The historian by Elizabeth Kostova by any chance?

China Meville - "Perdido Street Station"- "The Scar" -"Iron Council"...one of our most brilliant contemporary writer of fantastic fables...
