Oh my god... I'm lost. The only one I've heard of(and read) is "A beautiful mind", and I highly recommend it - although it's NOT easy, either mathematically or emotionally.
What a shame!! I have not read any of this :(
Yeah!!! My dadddy strongest :-)
I am just gonna go ahead and buy any 5 at random ;-) thanks for help.
Aakhir kahin toh kuch kaam aayi tu :-) >hint hint<
Not a Penny More Not a Penny Less.
By Jeffery Archer
Only one I have heard of (and seen the movie with the same name)is A Beautiful Mind.
But I think 'Autobiography of a Fugitive Negro' (if it is about slavery) might be worth reading too.
@Santoz : I guess u r the one in need of help...
Thanks to you, I got a wonderful list of Books
How about you just take ur dad out for shopping (Window shopping for the record) ...
First make a note of the TOP book(S) he notices/LIKES...
SURPRISE him... that u actually got him there to buy books
Or even tell him and take him
(even if there is no element of surprise, I am sure he will be DOUBLY glad for the time together and the BOOKS)
Guess what :) A Beautiful Mind is the downright winner, given it is the only book everyone I know, including me, has read!
East of Eden
Middlesex
Pillars of the earth
dont know who wrote these..supposedly very good
The only book I have read the Fifth Miracle - it is a good read and I liked it. The only other one I heard of is, of course, A Beautiful Mind - haven't read the book, though. Just seen the movie.
Tagged!
thanks all for your suggestions :)
Well, now that fathers day is gone and you dont need the suggestion anymore, I take the advantage to paste them in my "yet to read" list with one or two exceptions.
Thanks.
