Hello, I am an English honours student . Dear Book lovers can you suggest me some good books to read so that i can improve my english more . Books teach us a lot for instance new words. Not that i am bad or weak at english but i want to expand my word knowledge,my vocabulary . Also we can develop the art of thinking by weighing & comparing different works by different writers. I have read my course books which includes plays by "Shakespeare" those are "KING LEAR" & "AS YOU LIKE IT" and novels like "A TALE OF TWO CITIES", "GULLIVER TRAVELS","THE GUIDE", "PRIDE & PREJUDICE" , "EMMA" etc. & many more. But i want to read some thing out side the course, some thing by modern, now a days writers. Well i have read "THE DA VINCI CODE". But that's all. I have heard that CHETAN BHAGAT'S "ONE NIGHT AT THE CALL CENTRE" and "FIVE POINT SOME ONE " are good ones. Please suggest some good books for me to read both INDIAN as well as FOREIGN AUTHORS.I want 2 read something good after my termend exams
.

I am glad that you want to improve your english by reading books. In novels I would advise to read Jeffrey Archer, for his language is pure English english, rather than American english. His writing is lucid and humours.
Happy readings!!

A fantastic and very inspirational book is called "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, he is a brilliant author and i think you would get a lot out of his books. Enjoy

read the novels of P.G.Wodehouse--- start with short story collections--like MR. MULLINER SPEAKING.
Later you can try the big ones. this not only relaxes you. it will help you a great deal in sentence construction and word usage.Tell me if you are successful.
