Started reading this new novel from Jeffery Archer.. A Prisoner of Birth.. quite a good novel.. almost half doneThose people who tell you not to take chances
They are all missing on what life is about
You only live once so take hold of the chance
Don't end up like others the same song and dance

^Well, its somewhat based on The Count of Monte Cristo. 'Danny' is framed for murder, he escapes from the prison, avenges his friend's death and proves his innocence. I loved it when the court proceedings started.
A Prisoner of Birth, by Jeffrey Archer - Telegraph -- Here they have a link to read first 9 chapters of the book.

You seem to be someone who likes magical realism. What else have you read? I am not asking just about this genre... I mean anything else.Originally posted by deepmetal View PostMy favourite is Gabriel Garcia Marquez... One Hundred Years of Solitude....The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

I am not very good when it comes to reading some thing or writing. actually i am not even any close to these two things. when i read articles written by SUNNY, ARYAN, KEN, and specially OF i have to keep a dictionary with me.
lately when i was troubled and stress by my own ignorance. i read my first book ever (Actually second book)
It was the famous desi book ONE NIGHT AT THE CALLCENTER.
the was real good reading a book had never given me this kinda feeling.
My third book was IN THE NAME OF HONOUR.
i was so stunned to read the book reading the made me realise that how cruel the world is.
My fourth Book was TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD.
with this book i learnt a lesson never to buy a book or gift a book from the footpath vendors. there were 4 pages missing from the book and it was heart breaking. i still have this book and feel like buying one but just put off by some thing.
The next one that i read was THE NAME SAKE.
This was the book that made me realise that importance of watching a movie before you read the book. THE NAME SAKE is one of my fav movies. but when i read the book it was just off the hook the details that were in the book the movie could not match that at all. it was amazing feeling.
I try to express my self some times in my mother toung that is punjabi. but when it comes to writing it should be expressive in nice words. everyday words do not make a good sentence is what i feel. so i started to read the Poems by SHIV KUMAR BATALVI. his book BIRHA TU SULTAN.
it is one of the most amazing things that i have ever read though i feel ashamed that i failed to understand. but still working on it
The next book that i bought recently is THE KITE RUNNER.
this is a book that i gifted to a few friend of mine. but never had a chance to read it. i got this when i was in chandigarg the last week i would be reading it on my way back home this saturday. lets see.
Now the first book that i ever read was Some book regarding EMINEM.
i cant even remember the name it was some thing that i bought in England in 2004 i read it when i used to get time from my job. i was so effected that i stoped listening to eminem for ever after that.|NO WHEELS|
