I love to read yendamuri verendranath he is famous author in our State.

He is a telugu writer writing suspense thrillers right? I have heard of him, also read a few novels written by him translated into kannada...He is good !

Yes Usha he is telugu author and he made some movies and serials also.

Actually, I have not read English novels much. But I am deeply influenced by 'the Alchemist ' :evil: :evil:
My favourite writers belong to Malayalam.....Perumbadavam Sreedharan has deeply influenced my thoughts and words. The second person is Madhavikutty, who wrote many English books too. Later she changed to Islam taking name Kamala Surayya and 2 years before, she left the literature world for ever :( :( :(
Actually, her words are very simple as common people...but its power...amazing!!!!

John Grisham is a very famous and popular writer who writes legal thrillers.many of his books have been made into films like ' The Firm ' which had Tom Cruise in the lead.

Oh I like to watch the movies of Tom Cruise so I missed it now I will watch that movie.

So, you are a good reader :)

Yes, she was a queen of controversies...even very bold in her writings too!!! Yet she had a lot of admirers everywhere. She was born as a Brahmin, later converted to Islam, which also brought a lot of negative effects to her in the society. But every Malayali loves her romantic works and wordings and her quotes about rain and Neermadhalam(a flower at her courtyard)

I like vivekanandas writings, very interesting and inspiration ones

Yes he is my favorite one I love to read his books than others.

Rabindra Nath Tagore remains my all time favorite! Sarat Chandra Cattopadhya whose novels have been made into popular films like 'Devdas','Pareenita' etc.quite a few times is also my favorite. Of the foreign authors, there are too many!

No I have not read it, but now that you have mentioned it, I will definitely do so.I have a very good library here which has a vast selection of books, surprising when the reading habit is slowly dying out in most youngsters...

We all have our own reading and author preferences...
My own favorite authors are Leon uris, Frederick Foresythe,Robert Ludlum and John Grsham,,,

I love to read Fredrick Foresyth myself, I recall his Devil's alternative as soon as I hear/read his name.
I love to read all Indian writers from Prem candra to Ashapurna devi and from Tagore to Sharth chandra. I have so many others in my list either serious or comic. The only writer in light category I read Surendra Mohan Pathak. He is in the same category as Sidney Sheldon or Fredrick.

I too read any book I can lay my hands on.There are many good Indian authors. 'A suitable boy ' written by Vikram Seth is an excellent read, it also won a booker's prize.

Personally I feel that Chetan Bhagat is over rated, doesnt have the same kind of impact as so many other Indian writers...but he is popular with the youngsters ..

The reason is simple, the language he uses is like the one present generation speaks and thinks the way he thinks. He is a good professional who knows what is he up to. He is from IIMA. :laugh: He knows his job.
