Hi Guys

There is so much to read , so much to explore but not possible for a single person to get hold of everything.

So if u have read some interesting book and found it interesting share it here.

Be it Book , Novel , Comic/Manga , Magazine , White Paper..........

Absolutely Anything , share it here.

I have always found this sort of thread missing here , so posting it.
 
Just finished reading two science fiction books 'Look to Windward' and 'Use of Weapons' by Iain M Banks. They, along with a few other books form a kind of series set in the world of the 'The Culture'. Would recommend these to any person who loves Hard Sci-Fi. The authosr non-culture books are pretty decent too. (Read The Algebraist. It's one his latter books - 2004, so is easier to find too.)

And for peope who love a twist at the end of their stories, Use of Weapons has one that is one of the most surprising I have seen in any media. (Yes, more than in Fight Club or Usual Suspects. Maybe even as good/effective as the one in Second Foundation :P)
 
You have to read this book.... irrespective of you having the time or not :P

A fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry.

Deals with the lives of 4 Indians during the emergency. How they bond, how they are forced apart, how they come back otgether and how they react to each other after that period away.
 
Reading Y: The Last Man. It is a ten-part graphic novel series about the 'sole surviving male human after the spontaneous, simultaneous death of every male mammal on Earth.' More on wikipedia here. Should be a great read for any SF/graphic novel fan.

Unfortunately I have only been able to trace the first five books (in landmark and indiaplaza). Looks like I will have to 'download' the last five!
 
the last man is selling at landmark for about 600-800/volume

I bought the first two from the landmark in Gurgaon. But finding them on Indiaplaza.in was good - got them for around ~400 a piece. Sadly they don't have the rest of the books.

Hmm.. interactive fiction games? sounds interesting - care to suggest any? :)
 
I despise the likes of "art of living", "rules of life" and other pretentious crap so revered among simpletons. There can only be one rule of life, and that is - there are no rules. To live is to flow, to fly and to fall. I prefer the chaotic randomness of life over any artificial egoistic order.

I'm reading Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure, Henry Stapp's Mindful Universe and Seth Lloyd's Programming the Universe.
