can any one tell a good novel to read?

Question

this is the first time iam going to read .......so please suggest a good novel

Answer 1

Pick up any novel of Somerset Maugham or Saul Bellow.

Answer 2

I'm not terribly fond of Harry Potter, but you sound rather young so perhaps you would like it.

If I am mistaken as to your age I suggest the following:
The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
The Vampire Chronicles Including Blood and Gold & Pandora (New Tales) - Anne Rice
The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
Valhalla Rising - Clive Cussler
The Glass Menagerie - Tennessee Williams
The Great Gatsby - F Scott Fiztgerald
The Amores - Ovid
The Heroides - Ovid
The Brothers Karamazov- Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Pickwick Papers - Charles Dickens
The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown. It's a good read provided you keep in mind that it is fiction based on another man's (Henry Lincoln) theories.
The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life at Rose Red - Stephen King
The Name of the Rose - Umberto Eco. I'm currently reading this, it's very good. Very impressive and sophisticated writing style.

Answer 3

Hey n k ! That's a good question......my question to you is that why do you wanna read?

If you have got an answer to it ,you will find the right book.

Another thing,there is nothing like a good or a bad novel...it's always about what do you care for?

There are two motives of reading a book:one that you enjoy it,the other,that you can boast about it.So, t r what is your purpose?:-)

Answer 4

I just finished one:
CHOCOLAT by Joanne Harris. Apparently it's going to be a major film soon. My favourite novel is the Harry Potter series and Eragon. Chinese Cinderella is a good choice.

Answer 5

Dan Brown's "Angels & Demons" & "Da Vinci code"
J.K.Rowling's "Harry Potter"-(1,2 & 4 are good,try the 7th which will release on 21st july)
J.R.R.Tolkien's "Lord of the rings"(its pretty long and a bit boring)
Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist"
Sir Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes"
Enid Blyton's "Famous Five" & "Secret Seven"
Robin Sharma's "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari"
Peter James' "Dead Simple"
John Grisham's "The Broker" & "The King of Torts"

Answer 6

How old are you?
if you are aged :2days old~2yrs=then read my lips!!
if you are aged:5yrs~10 yrs=Lord of the flies.
" " " ...............: above 12~below 18=Sherlock Holmes/O Henry or even any book of Roald Dahl.
if you are ::above 19~25yrs=Illusions-Adventures of a reluctant messiah+Jonathan LivingStone Seagull+The Day Of The Jackal.I recommend "John Le Carre's novels."
if you are above 30:then go ahead with "Any big fat books with lotts and lotts of useless idiom and passages or if you are the insane kind then go with James Joyce, Lewis Caroll, Catch22,Catcher in the rye.
