My all time favorites are The Hunger Games, The Iron Fey, Scarlet, The Storyteller, The Infernal Devices


i added this book, i liked description, above all its Japanese

2.Norwegian Wood,(sensual understanding of love and sexuality and its poetic words in beautiful surroundings)
3.Extremely loud and Incredibly close, (for its border-less and untangiable love of son for his father)
4.The fault in our stars,(letting me feel pain)
5.The silence of lambs(for giving me chills),
6.Kafka on the shore(for its weird and subtle story line)

O_o!! I was thinking bout reading it, but never got around to...
My fav = Fear by Michael Grant *hyperventilate*



The first Greg Baxter that I have gobbled, and I must say voraciously. There is strange way in which I sometimes connect with unputdownables - fornication in head, if i may hazard some liberalness. The first person narration helps, it is like letting the driver drive while you wade through the labyrinth of nostalgia, memories, adventure and curiosity, only a detached mind can afford. Saskia,too, is great character, too plain but yet strangely desirable. Well crafted expression!

Simply told with an enviable cadence and powerful message. The sparseness of expression, possibly depicting the stoic nature of the protagonist, catches you and keeps you afloat. "Complete truth as different from exaggerated truth" - a conundrum which we all grapple with, well captured and adroitly delivered. Why are the fringes important than the waft and warp of the cloth? Why is the positioning important that the product? Why is the experience important than than experience? Answers all this and more, through a story of unassuming guy, with seemingly invisible streaks of non-conformance - which paves way for his eventual hubris.
Verbosity of no virtuosity can fully eulogize what Albert Camus has accomplished here.

It reminds me of poetry - the sad, soulful kind that breaks your heart, and yet seems impossibly beautiful. The writing is to-die-for, and although the book is not happy from any angle, there's something about the end that's comforting; like a warm cup of tea at the end of an extremely horrible day.
