Religion aside. The best book read by me, although I do not read much is - 20,000 leagues under the sea by Jules Verne.

They are way too many, but I'll list three of them (which are all mostly related to lessons of life, human beings and philosophy):
1) The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
2) Prophet, by Khalil Gibran
3) Huis Clos ("No Exit"), by Jean Paul Sartre

I used to love thriller novels in past esp by Dan Brown, Stephen King and John Grisham . But now I like reading different books :D
If you want romantic books then best one is Dear John and Message in the bottle by Nicholas Spark and if you like fantasy then try The Twilight n The host by Stephenie Meyer. For historical stories try The Palace of Heavenly Pleasure, written by Adam Williams. Warning it is very depressing one.. I hope that u will like my choice :)

Hey. thanks for sharing. I don't prefer unrealistic/imaginary novels like Twilight, Harry potter etc.. but yeah thrillers are good.
I have seen this movie, Message in a bottle, but never read its novel.

Munahil Murrieum | 14 years ago

Welcome, I love unrealistic novels more :)

If not too much, I have read a few good authors but its difficult to tell which book i like the most. I'd say A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking is among the books that really inspired me.

I have heard of 'The lovely bones', and would like to read the other books as well.

Munahil Murrieum | 13 years ago

I saw the movie, its so depressing. I dont think i'd want to read that book now.

Awais Amjad | 13 years ago

HaroOn Dilshad | 13 years ago

yeah. its totally depressing. Some heart breaking story it is.

Awais Amjad | 13 years ago

HaroOn Dilshad | 13 years ago

I would read the book first, and then watch movie. I have heard its a story about emotions and struggles etc.

Munahil Murrieum | 13 years ago

The book is actually wayyyyyy better than the movie :)

Sana MAK | 13 years ago

But the story is same, I dont know but I have this thing that I cant bear children getting hurt. Emotional disorder i guess. I just cant see or even imagine that happening.

Umera writes to show contrast between two extremes,leaves sharp impression of the two,if you're asking meaning of it,"peer" means guide and kamil means perfect
