Lol, is 48 laws of power a book? I see lots of folks listing literature of less than 100 pages as books. Lmao.

48 laws of power is a very large book, it isn't less than 100 pages. It has more than 400 pages in it.

It's a good book too although I don't agree with all the laws and I don't think they will work for everybody.

Bravoosii: A lot of great books have been written this year. As the year draws to an end, I'd like to take a look at some of the best books we've read this year.
Some of my best are;

Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand: This book is a WWII story of survival, resilience and redemption. It tells a tragic story of allied prisoners of war in Japanese POW camps and death camps. A very compelling, devastating and ultimately redeeming book everyone should read.

A Thousand Splendid Suns: This is a story of intense delicacy and strength buried under the surface of the cruel and capricious life imposed upon two Afghani women. Set during the period of ethnic conflict in Afghanistan after the Russian Communist left. It's a story of oppression and brutality, and also the strength and toughness of human spirit.

I'm currently reading WAVE
By Sonali Deraniyagala a tragic story of a survivor of the Indian ocean tsunami in Sri Lanka. Deraniyagala lost her husband and two young sons to the disaster.

Chimamanda Adichie's Americanah, Sidney Sheldon's Sands of Time, Roots by Alex Haley John Green's The Fault in Our Stars are also some very good books I've read this year.

The floor is open now, share some of the best books you've read in 2013.
I love books a lot but nw , guys are busy pursuing good cgpa...........so help me God

Those aren't military books. 1st to Die is a feminine detective book. James Patterson the author target is women.
And Adolf Hitler's Mein Kempf is more about perseverance, and a good economical book.
