❄️ Propertea Of Frostea ❄️ Bitter SnoBerry ❄ (berrynumey) | 4 comments A Thousand Splendid Suns. I would highlight...but aunt's orders not to :P (Its her book)

There are lots that are really trivial and made my eyes fill just by reading them!!

Here's one that I loved!! : "...held her hand,guided the pencil in it along the rise of each alef, the curve of each beh, the three dots of each seh."

This is such a wonderful description of the Arabic alphabets!!! :D

message 10: by Navjeetsingh (new)

Navjeetsingh | 25 comments War and Peace(Leo Tolstoy)
1984(George Orwell)
Anna Karenina(Leo Tolstoy)
Mein Kampf(Adolf Hitler)


IN short, All books of Fyodor Dostovyesk , Leo Tolstoy, Albert Camus, Sadat Manto ... list is too long.

Actually you have put up such a criteria that there are hundreds of books that fulfill it.

If you twist it a little - 'authors' instead of 'books' that might cut down the length of the list.
