    Initially, when the decision was first taken to first publish the Diary there was really a furore over it. There was a group of Her Maternal or paternal uncles who did so.... and for the same reason....

    For u... u dont need to be so serious... me juz jokin !!!
    But do check the websites..

    well, its hard to point out one book as the most fav but if i gotta do this, i must say........"The Mysterious Island" by jules verne.
    as for human drama type, my fav is "wuthering heights" , no one can beat my pal Heathcliff. A real tragic hero.

    All of them.

    I rate them as follows:

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas, père
    2. Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson
    3. Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone - J. K. Rowling
    4. Journey To The Center Of The Earth - Jules Verne
    5. Robinson Crusoe - Daniel Defoe
    6. Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
    7. Gulliver's Travels A Voyage To Lilliput - Jonathan Swift

    Jules Verne has some even better books:

    1. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
    2. Round the World in Eigthy Days
    3. The Clipper of Clouds

    Some classics worth mentioning/reading (in no particular order):

    1. Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott
    2. Kidnapped by R L Stevenson
    3. The Talisman by Sir Walter Scott
    4. The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
    5. The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy
    6. The Country of the Blind (short story) by H G Wells
