'The Big Four' by Agatha Christie

In it, the famous detective Hercule Poirot is hot on the tail of the most powerful criminal organisation in the world. It is headed by four people, who are powerful in their own right. But become more powerful when they come together. Must read for people who love thrillers and suspense novels. This has it all, including a spectacular climax.

what's with Ayn Rand? I sorta think her "super-philosophy" is in hating poor people and calling names to those who earn less than $200000 a year......I think it was "second-grade people" or something.

man aM I gonna get blasted for this blasphemy 😛

@ every Ayn Rand lover

@sam: I have had the same problem. So I started reading e-books.

I know that nothing beats the effect of a the "illustrative or non illustrative hard bound paper bag jacket or non jacketed with forward introduction, table of content, index, that is intended for the enlightenment, understanding, enrichment, enhancement and education of human brain's sensory route of vision" - kind of books...that we can take with us everywhere.

But e-books is my latest addiction. 😀 Give it a try. There are plenty out there. (especially local authors..)

Re: Sig Freud

The_Big_KDid anyone read [SIZE=-1]Sigmund Freud's seminal work on dream interpretation : The Interpretation of Dreams?

Frankly speaking, I couldn't read beyond 150th page 😕

[/SIZE]
I just saw this post now, Biggie. I got the e-book for interpretations of dreams by beloved mr. Freud. It is quite intriguing but needs a hell lot of concentration and thinking. I couldnt sleep the first night i started reading it!

Anything of Erich Maria Remarque. If you don't know what he wrote, I think it would be enough to say "All quiet on the wester front".

The second recommendation goes to Bruno Traven and his writings. Try reading "The White Rose".

Wow, awesome suggestions in this thread. 👍
It's been a long time I read a book. Should pick up one today!

I had read this book, 'Three Feet From Gold' by Greg S. Reid and Sharon L. Lechter.
Whenever I fail at an attempt, the message from this book and the quote by Sir Thomas Edison, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.", gives me enough boost to Never Give Up!
