    Wilkie Collins: The Moonstone

    The likes of Hercules Poirot, Jane Marple , Ellery Queen, Perry Mason have put us in the habbit of expecting weird twists and turns at every stage, and infront of these glamrous works, the rather docile Victorian Whodunnit seem pretty lagging. Wilkie Collins was a good author but I have...

    Scariest Book Ever?

    I'll have to agree with Azazello. "The Masque of the Red Death". is one of the two most scariest pieces of Litrature I have read. The second one was a translation of a sort of a diary in my native language and it gave me the creeps. I read it a long time ago, when I was about 9-10 and it...

    Robert Jordan: Wheel of Time

    Hmm, last I heard the Wheel of Time series was to have twelve books. Not sure with the current state, Jordan will be able to wrap it in 2 more books, unless they are monstrous. Reading Wheel of Time for me was a whirlwind tour. I finished the first eight books inside a week and abandoned the...

    Daphne du Maurier: Rebecca

    Lolita and Rebecca Two books I will start upon inside the week. Two books I have heard a lot about. What do you people say? I don't mind spoilers.

    The Brontë Sisters

    Of the three sisters, I prefer the always under-rated [Even by her elder sister Charlotte] Anne Bront&#235. Wuthering Heights is a powerful book and Emily's character has always been of intrest to me. It is really sad and unfortunate that death betook them from this world at such tender ages...

    C.S. Lewis: The Inklings

    Mr. Tolkien. For a spoof of Inkling's, I'll recomend Notion Club Papers by Tolkien published in Sauron Defeated; History of Middle-earth Volume IX. If you are an Inkling's fan and want more insite into the character's of various famous members, try Letters, by Humphrey Carpenter; selected...

    George Orwell

    I haven't read ''Alas, Babylon'' [Or heard of it before reading this thread] but the other books mentioned are definately top-notch. George Orwell was a great satirist and was very different from your average author since he didn't care much for Copyright. :P

    Harper Lee

    I don't think she can, at this age, produce anything like To Kill a Mockingbird. Perhaps it was never her intention to write Novels since To Kill a Mockingbird is semi-autobiographical in nature.

    John Grisham

    I rather like John Grisham. The rather lawyerly tone of his books can be intresting and absorbing and he has written some quite good books including but not limited to The Summons, The Chamber, The King of Torts etc. [The later is my favorite work of his.] But alongside these he has also brought...

    Jeffrey Archer

    Jeffrey Archer is, was one of my favorite authors. I have read all fiction books written by him and even multiple readings of them never fail to amaze and delight me. I have been surprised to find how relatively unknown he is in USA and other countries because in Pakistan, among those people...

    Agatha Christie

    Agatha Christie is an amazing author; no doubt about it. I have, admittedly, read few of her books but every reading of every book written by her makes me hunger for more of her works. My favorite work of hers so far has to be Murder at the Vicarage with Murder at the Links coming a close...
