I am not highly into reading and all but do have a habbit of reading novels. These days i commute to my office through metro and reading is what makes the boring commute something to look forward to.
Currently i am reading "Degree of guilt" by Richard North Patterson and my last few reads were "The fifth Horseman" byJames Patterson, "When the bough breaks" by Jonathan Kellerman and "Second Chance" by James Patterson. Anyone who even have slightest interst in reading might have observed by now that suspense thrillers are my cup of tea when it comes to reading.
The whole idea behind starting this thread is that so we (xbhpians interested in books & reading) can discuss & share about this common interest.

Can start in this way

Favourite read till date: Kiss the girls, The alchemist & madhushala

Favurite writer: James Patterson, sidney Sheldon & Paulo Cohelo (in same order)

Next Read: anything which can be categroized as suspense thriller

Book which i regret reading: Thirteen Minutes by Paulo Cohelo

You guys can add something to it..

Off Topic Approved.

Perhaps some book related to motorcycling can give you a good "feel" while you travel in the metro!

U should read titles from Mathew Riley.. Ice Station is a very good book.. past paced action.. Scarecrow is another good title!

"catcher in the rye... : J D Salinger "

its an awesome read for both the dilettantes and the voracious readers and quiet lucid style of expressing emotions...
