My favourite wife by Tony Parsons

just finished honeymoon by james patterson

GL, david baldacci's simple truth is really good.

id also pick grisham,but like zahymaka said,its actually a matter of opinion
i also think king of torts wasnt so good.
i just finished the broker. i read it for more than a week,which is so unusual and says how terrible i think it was.

u think those are his best? how about tell me your dreams
thats also real good.

right now i just started reading the broker by john grisham and so far so good,as usual.

would u believe i read jeffery archer's kane and abel for the SIXTH TIME last february??
it inspires me,so i just can't get enuff of it,
im currently reading jeffery deaver's THE BONE COLLECTOR,which the movie is based on,and so far,so very good (infact better than the movie)

so alj, what'd u think of the authenticity of the whole story?
u think it was made up?
i would really like to know ur own views
i cant stop wondering about the whole experience,if it really happened.

this is an awesome book,a must-read!
its kinda controversial,cos its supposedly based on a true story, the experiences of a sixteen year old indian boy called Pi who is the sole human survivor after the ship in which him and his zoo-keeping family (migrating from india to canada) sinks, and  is on a life boat for 227 days in the middle of the pacific ocean,with a hyaena, a zebra, an orangutan and - beat this - a 450 pound bengal tiger which was finally his only surviving companion!!

another interesting thing about this story is Pi's conversion from hinduism to christianity then to islam,and trying to practise all three together!
we also learn about animal behaviour,as his parents owned a zoo in india.this adds to his survival tactics while on the life boat.

Pi is a creature of faith (or faiths,as the case may be),who sees eternally renewed wonder in God and in his creation.

when he finally gets aground,his story is seriously doubted,so he gives  another version of his survival,which many people believe is the true one,while the other is a figment of his (crazy??) imagination.

the book is really captivating.I read it in almost 5 hours, it depicts a whole lot and will leave you pondering long after you're through,
theres a whole lot to talk about concerning life of pi,so i keep wondering,

Has anyone read Yann Martel's life of Pi?!!!!!!!!

his books triggered the reading habit for me.i remember my very first - the way the cooky crumbles.
but somewhere along the line,i kinda noticed that they all have a particular pattern (my personal opinion) and that became kinda boring.

yeah they were really nice,i remember too close for comfort and one in particular about a man whose wife was raped by robbers infront of his house in lagos, cant remember the title,but it wasnt bad

ken follet's whiteout,
its not bad at all,y'all should try it.
