Ok people! As you'll can see, if you have been paying attention to the right hand side of my blog, I havent read a book in the longest time. All I have been reading is Asterix, Asterix and more Asterix. Can you'll pls recommend some good books to read. No romance and no science fiction please.

The Argumentative Indian by Amartya Sen
Magician by Raymond Feist. No, it is not scifi!
@ suchintya : Thanks but have already read it. Everyone who has been throu a b-school seems to have somehow found the need to read it :)
@ prashanth: Now u sure that is'nt sci-fi rt???? It better not be!!!
Terra,
yup, back in India .. for good, better and best !
No place like home sigh*
Myths
I've been reading this series of Wheel of Time, I guess if you like the land of LOTR,etc you might like this, needs quite a bit of patience until you get whisked away into the magic land yourself.
You've probably read Fountainhead, one of my all time faves.
Would have followed that up with Gone with the Wind but you said no romance.
There was another that I read recently, Women/Girls of Riyadh, it starts off pretty well.. doesnt really keep the interest after a bit.
Paddy Clarke hahaha by Roddy Doyle was something I just laid my hand on, was pretty highly recommended to me ...
Myths
Uahahahaaaaa... let me guess it was Veeeceeee who recommended Wheel of Time to Myths... it is a good series though, it was I who recommended to him some years ago. Pssst... Terra... why not pick up an M&B?
@Myths: Damn cool that u r back!
and yes I've read Gone with the Wind and Fountain Head. I dont like LOTR type so I guess I wont like Wheel of Time either. What is this Paddy Clarke about??.....Will try that soon
@Prashanth: Ok I know u cant believe I dont like LOTR but FLASHNEWS there are a lot of us here who dont worship Tolkien!!
And M&B huh??? Sure, why not! and since I'm sure u have read every single M&B book, would you be so kind to suggest your favourite! :P
Hey Prashant,
Bullseye :)
Myths
Cough Cough.. Hey terra byte ?? or is it Terra bites ?
I think you should read Alistair Maclean or better off ..look at the sky..
How abt Paullo Cohello ? You dont visit mah blog this days ?
Hello I do not worship Tolkien... I don't like the bombastic "High Fantasy" style of writing... prefer more down-to-earth fantasy (yes it sounds like an oxymoron). Wheel of Time is not like LOTR at all.
Oh I have read one M&B, which I highly recommend... Morrison & Boyd's book on Organic Chemistry :P :P
Sooo Vc's influence is rubbing off on Myths... at this rate... God save Bangalore!
P.S. I will be back in Chennai on Dec 16th for a month or two
@VC : Welcome welcome! And pls, I'm a very nice person, its just that some co-bloggers bring out the evil in me :P
@Ashu: I have read some books of PC, buy havent checked out his latest.
@Prashanth: I might actually prefer reading Organic Chemistry to other forms of Chemistry :)
And its great that you are coming down to India. Do buzz me when you are here!
