That is exactly why i recommend it to all of you . It seems to have the best language suitable for everyone, not to mention the way of writing xD !!!

Finished reading Dan brown Angels and demons, a few days ago! Pretty neat, book, and a good read, It got a little boring for about 50 pages or so, but then it got interesting! The book had its twist and turns, and the end was suprising! It was predictable at some parts though. Overall, a decent book and well-worth the read!

For those interested in fantasy books here are some I really enjoyed:

David Eddings : the belgariad series,mallorean series, tamuli and the best one Belgarath the Sorcerer. Good fast paced books and very interesting initially but once you read more of them they all seem to be very similar and a little boring.

Terry Brooks: The Shannara series

Tolkein: Hobbit is the best for starters and if you like it then read lotr and The Silmarillion

And for younger readers or if you just need to pass time read the Dragonlance series and the Forgotten Realms books. I really loved the dragonlance books when i was in school.
Also if you have played games like Neverwinter Nights and Baldurs Gate or other D&D games you will recognize a lot of characters and places from these books.

There is one book which has no Parallel....Kane & Abel by Jeffrey Archer.....Two Men with nothing in common except their birthday are destined to destroy - and save- each other. Great Novel

Thread is dead lets revive it
I recently read:
SEVENTH SCROLL by WILBUR SMITH what a piece of writing man I just loved it AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I JUST LOVE IT IT S SUPERB. It's like National treasure but is far more interesting....It has every genre. Romance, Comedy, Echhi,ACTION, MYstery every thing u need..... I'll give it 10/10

Now reading THE QUEST by Wilbur Smith bought it for 1200 from liberty books. Read about 250 pages It's good but it's not as good as Seventh scroll...It s realistic and has only fictinol content of only magic which is thought to be real in 5000 years ago... It's good adventure novel I'll give it 9/10

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
