What is your most favourite book?

Mine is "The Count of Monte Christo" by Alexandre Dumas.

My second favourite is "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen.

My Favourite is Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat infact this book encouraged me for reading more and then I started Shidney Sheldon series

From Sidney Sheldon I love:

Rage of Angles
The Sky is Falling
The best Laid Plan

I once read a funny book called "Christmas with Kranks"


These days I am reading "The Sand of Times" ,
I really want to read "The other side of Midnight"

I love to read the books by Steven Covey again and again. I don't have time, though. The most fav here is "7 Habits of Highly Effective People".

Another interesting collection is from ArtOfLiving. (Plenty of books, hard to count).

Well i have always been trying to get this one elusive book ...tittled

'The Needle'

Its a real life account about Hitler's Ace Spy during the second world war ....
known only as 'The Needle' ..... He was responsible for infiltrating Britain and assassinating a lot of VIPs ... nobody knew how he killed his victims .. they finally found out ... He just syringed them in the chest (heart) when they were asleep ...inducing a heart attack ! After Germany lost he committed suicide by jabbing himself in the chest with the syringe..

I have found it very difficult to find this book ... Anybody read it ?

Why would you need to read the Book if you know the whole story.
