hey trying to start reading the books.. do you have any novel.. in mind and you suggest me to read

. A good thread as it gives me quite an option. Thanks for the starter!

Here are my few selections as of now:
The Kite runner or Tuesdays with Morrie would be a good start as they are simple and engaging.
Inheritence of Loss, Hundred years of solitude, The namesake, Da Vinci Code are other good options.
Salman Rushdie is a genius but takes quite a toll out of you for infrequent readers like me.

Happy Reading!

Right now i am reading VS Naipaul's Mr. Biswas's house and it is really gripping.

I don't know what you guys find so steller in Shalman... I barely finished one of his book.. man was it a drag.. I might not be bright enough to relate to him, I guess.. I just find his narration really dry.. My favourite author is Gabriel Garcia Marquez.. Liked every single of his book I have read.. One hundred years of soltitude is a classic and so are all of his books.. Alchemist - one of my all time favourite. I also like Ernest Hemingway - Should be a good start. Read Hope in the Dark by Rebacca Solnit - not a novel but it really defined me as a person..

kite runner is really good i really liked it
