Favorite 25 books

I could not think of any other post…I started to write about why United so horribly lost yesterday but then I have had umpteen discussions over the phone and other social forums. And since I just got done reading a book (Anything for you, ma’am by Tushar Raheja), I decided to put this one up.

I have been an avid reader since childhood. I love fiction and mostly spy thrillers. So this list will definitely be dominated by those kinds. The order is random.

1. HMS Ulysses – Alistair Mclean
2. The Godfather – Mario Puzo
3. Five Point Someone – Chetan Bhagat
4. Day of the Jackal – Frederick Forsythe
5. Kane and Abel – Jeffrey Archer
6. The Class – Jeffrey Archer
7. Anything by P.G. Wodehouse, especially the Jeeves and Wooster series
8. Love Story – Erich Segal
9. The Day After Tomorrow - Allan Folsom
10. Bourne Identity – Robert Ludlum
11. Harry Potter series
12. Maximum City – Suketu Mehta
13. Three Men In A Boat – Jerome K. Jerome
14. The Last Frontier – Alistair Mclean
15. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd – Agatha Christie
16. Thirteen at Dinner – Agatha Christie
17. The Da Vinci Code – Dan Brown
18. Count of Monte Christo – Alexandre Dumas
19. Adventures of Sherlock Holmes – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
20. The Catcher in the Rye – J.D. Salinger
21. The Spy Who Came In From The Cold – John le Carre
22. Talkative Man – R.K. Narayan
23. The World of Nagaraj – R.K. Narayan
24. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea – Jules Verne
25. Tell Me Your Dreams – Sidney Sheldon
