What books should be on my "must read" list?

Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky. It is by no means a light read but it really sucks you up right into it. Dostoevsky has a gift to brilliantly understand the human mind and to write about it in such a way that you can really relate to the characters.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is one of my personal favourites not only because of the story which deeply influenced my views on love but also because the writing style is very good (sometimes I got goosebumps from certain sentences) The virgin suicides by jeffrey eugenides is something completely different but very enjoyable. It's written from an unusual point of view and that is interesting in its own way. If you like the idea of jurassic park (the movie) you can read the book or some of the other works of Michael Crighton.

Most of them are sci-fi "what would happen if we could.." (e.g. Revive dinosaurs) kind of books. But he has done a lot of research so they're really good. I can really recommend "Timeline" It describes what would happen if a company invents timetravel and how it would exploit this.

It's very interesting to see how modern-day humans would react if they are sent to the middle ages. I firmly belive Crighton does a very good job at describing this in a credible way. If you're into thrillers, everything by John Grisham is good or if you like james-bond like military action than I suggest Andy McNab (crisis four is my favourite) I hope you can enjoy some of these books.

You may read Mahatma Gandhi's 'My Experiments with Truth' and ' A Biography of Swami Vivekananda' by Swami Nikhilananda. These are two of the best books I have read.

For a "hard to put down" book be sure to read Russian Concubine by Kate Furnivall. The storyline has it all, action, passion, hate, and glory. On the lighter side, pick up a copy of Everything and a Kite.

This is Ray Romano's first book and filled with funny stories of his life. The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz is a wealth of knowledge and understanding. It is "a practical guide to personal freedom - A toltec wisdom book".

I can read it again and again and still gain insight and understanding. Very inspirational.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
