The 56 short stories of Sherlock Holmes and the four long ones as well. I have one volume by Bantam classics, I need the other. Though I've been watching the dramatised series featuring Jeremy Brett as Holmes...the best I've seen.

Oh some more here -:
The Big Bang Theory and the Origin Of the Universe (Simon Singh), Fermat's Last Theorem(Simon Singh), The Code Book(Simon Singh), Maupassant's Short Stories(Guy de Maupassant), Harry Potter(all, but I now despise it), Windows 3.1 for Dummies(tech favourite...written by Andy Rathbone :D), A Briefer History of Time(Stephen Hawking), 1984(George Orwell...chilling dystopian story).
More I can't remember as yet.

Godfather(MarioPuzo), KiteRunner(Hosseini), All of the Potter series, Angels & Demons are some good ones out of my list.
(PauloCoelho's & ChetanBhagat's are some i hate.)

Even RuskinBond's & EnidBlyton's have been great. (i remember reading all of the Famous5's & Secret 7's in middle school.)

Has nyone read "Lord of thr Rings"....? I need the verdict fr tht one.

And haan.... do read the Chicken Soup(s), they are good.
