    Man now this is a pleasent surprise, most people might be having an idea that we bikers are outdoor people but now this thread is revealinng that we do have some diversified interest.

    @fueljunkee: man i am telling alchemist is one good book, you can really relate the story with you, as we all have some dream to realise.

      My favorite author is Michael Chriton, I just love his science fiction. Apart from that, currently into reading a lot of Indian Authors, started with Discovery of India by Nehru. Currently reading Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra.

          Alas, trying to read in Mumbai trains in peak hours will translate into ripped off pages, and hurted ego! I usually go by audio books, which now a days I find very interesting. Have listened Lord of the rings, George Carlin, Seinfeld standups etc. Currently just going through repeats.

            I tried audio books and e-books but nothing beats the old fashion paper books

              I will second you on this flanker, the of charm reading through normal paper book is unmatched.

              Whatever i have read of Sidney sheldon is through e books & that too in my last office.

                Noone tried amit bhaduri?
                Try MBA (mediocre but arrogant) . Its a story about a guy from XLRI. Humorous and is realistic unlike five point someone.

                His new release is Married But Available (MBA again) .. Got to try that as it has received a good feedback.

                      Even i have read all the three books of Chetan Bhagat, but his real life stories are more fascinating than any fiction

                        @speed pujari: thanks for that info about MBA. will try to get my hands on that!

                        have read all books of chetan bhagat as they released. I liked them all.. They made a very good read.

                        Alchemist is one of the best books i've ever read. The story telling was fabulous. That was the first of the many books i've read from the auther. The Devil and miss pryme was also good. .

                            Favorite Books: 11th Commandment, Kane & Able, The Prodigal Daughter, Shall We Tell the President, Honor Among Thieves.

                            Favorite Author: Jeffrey Archer

                            Loved "5 Point someone" & "One Night @ Call Center" but "3 Mistakes" is a disaster (Frm my view: too serious).

                              To be very honest, even 'one night' was also a disaster.. '5 point' was highly fictious and artificial humour.. I liked only the first half...

                              Amit bhaduri's MBA as my personal experience will tickle u like anything, the jerks are highly realistic and wil bring tears in ur eyes in the end.

                                Did you ever get a chance to read 'Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less'? One of the few books I like of Jeffrey Archer... Most of the others seem repetitive...
