From your to-be-read shelf, I've chosen for you the good ol' Murakami Kafka on the Shore. I've read this one and it's really weird, but really beautiful.

Did you get a partner? I wanted to join in, but Manju told me... mods will be reserved for late comers..
But then am scared to be your partner, as I am sure of being suggested a fantasy from my shelves.. my last partner was also a fantasy freak...
And Manju herself sees to it that I am on a steady diet of fantasies :P

OH Manju, you're reading this right. You know whom to pair me with.
Mod
Hi Sharadha!Here are the two books I choose for you:
White Nights
The Color Purple
Read the one you feel like.
Waiting for your suggestions :)

yusssss!!!!
Thank you Manju
Let me have a quick look and reply back with my choices
Mod
Lolss. Give him the most boring book na. Tit for tat.;)
Alright Smitha,*rubs hands in glee*
Book 1 for you is The Final Empire
I'm aghast that you haven't started it yet. But when you do start, make sure you've the time to read the trilogy back to back.
Or, you can read book 2 i.e., Touch
This is not a fantasy which you're trying to avoid. This is one author who I absolutely love other than Jodi Picoult. So go for it.
And since I played fair, be kind to me.

I choose Final Empire, as I have had a good experience with Sandersen (w.r.f Stormlight Archives)
If there is time, I will finish off the other book too (Touch)/
Mod
For you I choose
1. The Shadow of the Wind
either/or
2. The Martian
Both got an impressive 5 stars from me.

Last time I gave up because I got an intuition that it is to be suggested for a Pick Me Challeng. :P
The shadow of the wind is a really nice book! :D

I'm going to read The Shadow of the Wind. I'd keep Martian for some other day as I already watched the movie first like an idiot

Indrani, I recommend the following books1. The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins : This book is a landmark book in the sensation novel genre and one of the first mystery books ever written.
2. The Alienist by Caleb Carr : This book explores the development of the field of psychological profiling of suspects. So this book will be good.
