THE TAG
Came across an interesting 15 Books Tag:
The rules are:
"Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Tag up to 15 friends, including me because I'm interested in seeing what books my friends choose."
(Order does not indicate preference)
1. Lust for Life by Irving Stone - It is the life-story of Van Gogh. The sheer passion and depth of love that Gogh represents overwhelms me... always.
2.Deception Point by Dan Brown - For the love of the grandeur of Brown's thoughts and story-lines blended with science and technology that swept me off my feet.I love the other books of Dan Brown as well.
3.A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking - Non-fiction scientific book about my favourite particle physics and time and God for the layman.
4.The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Kapra - I might have got the spelling wrong of the author. Some Brown's fans may remember as this being one of the books that was on the shelf of Leonardo Vetra in Angels and Demons. Particle physics again closely intwined with God and this is definitely not for the layman.
5.Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman by Mr .Richard P. Feynman - A funky look at this physicist's life apart from Quantum Physics.
6.And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie - I read it in 8th class and I still feel its the best in the detective genre.
7.FPS,1 Night @ Call Centre ,3 Mistakes of My Life by Chetan Bhagat - For getting most of India to read. Very-filmy stories but then I love some of the events. Why does every title of his novel need to have a number? (That's three books but come on guys....)
8.Shock by Robin Cook - Crimes in the medical world can never be written better for the engineering mind.
9.The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas - An adventure of a life-time. This huge book does not leave any emotion known to humans untouched.
10.The 5 People You Will Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom - Exploring the meaning of life and other complexities through death.
11. For One More Day by Mitch Albom - It is the best work by this author and has you questioning yourself in the end.
(And why did I put two of Mitch Albom's books separately.You must read both the books to know that.)
12.Harry Potter Series by J. K. Rowling - The series that taught me the true meaning of the word imagination.
13.The Poison Belt, The Lost World and A Collection of Short Stories by Arthur Conan Doyle - My favourite author from the classics ers.
14. The Mating Season by P.G. Wodehouse - The most hilarious of all his books dealing with all the haps and mishaps that can happen during courting.
15.The Best Laid Plans and The Rage of Angels by Sidney Sheldon - For the sheer pace with which Sheldon narrates such stories.
And I tag whoever is reading this and has not already been tagged and specifically Amrit and Saiyona.
