tagging spree....!!!!

off late I have been hearing a lot about this tagging thingie.....I seriously had no clue what this was all about until arpita told me all about this.......and thanks to her this gives me a chance to speak about the books that I have read so far......I was never into the habit of reading books until I was almost done with my under graduation.....I was always fascinated with these mystery kind of books....esp. Agatha Christie's......always loved reading them.....!!!!

It's hard to pick which books I like among all those I have read so far....but lemme choose the best.... :)

1)Kane and Abel.....what a book....what a narration.....simply mind blowing...!!!!! I am literally a Jeffrey Archer fan now after I read this book.....he is the best....!!!! The story is about two men born worlds apart and the only thing they have in common is the date of birth (April 18, 1906)....How they rise in their lives and the failures they face forms the plot of the book.....!!!! The two protagonist's in this book are William Kane and Abel Rosnovski. I couldn't help admiring the two men's confidence and zeal to achieve something in their lives...especially Abel Rosnovski. A book for which I would give a 9.5/10.

2)The Da Vinci Code..........
This is an amazing book......it provoked some interest in the Holy Grail and the role of Mary Magdalene in the history of Christianity....lots of amazing terms, like the Priory of Scion.....This book was made as a movie and this movie created lots of controversies among the Christianity.....lots of revealing puzzles though it is a fiction....wish it were not a fiction....
3)The Finishing School.....

This novel by Michelle Martinez was one of the best mystery novels that I have read so far......brilliant, amazing, stupendous....there are many other synonyms that can be used to describe this book.....It's a story about a detective who comes to investigate the death of two high school girls.....both of whom are from the high strata of the society......how she unravels the mystery forms the plot of the story.....

I still remember one funny incident that happened to me when I was engrossed reading kane and Abel....that was a very funny incident.....still cannot hold my laughter whenever I recollect this incident......I was on my way back from my uncle's place in Washington DC when I had to change planes in NY....I was waiting near my terminal gate in NY airport engrossed reading Kane and Abel that I didn't see that they had changed my terminal gate and suddenly when I looked up at the gate I found it to be closed.....I got nervous and without thinking ran towards the terminal gate and opened it....and as soon as I did that....there was a huge sound....lol.....there went the alarm and everyone started looking at me.....The lady at the opposite terminal gate called me up and gave me a warning saying that if I did this again she would put me behind the bars....!!!!!!! :):)....lol I couldn't control my laughter thinking about that incident even now.....

now let me tag my dear buddy batman....oops...sry did I tell that...Balaji.R.Sharma...... :):)
