Dame Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

I started my reading habit with their novels. I always liked suspence and murder. I am pretty weak at guessing the suspects. So even the simplest plots kept me at the edge and compelling to read on. Their novel characters always inspired me to become a detective agent in future. But now I know that job requires some brains . I dont use it much when it comes to suspicions, I always blindly trust almost everything around me. But it was sheer joy to read on. At my age when I was in my 6th and 7th grade, the television programmes were very limited. We had only doordarshan at that time. And some of the famous English plays that were casted that time was Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes. It will be telecasted every Sunday, so there is no way of me missing it.

Sidney sheldon & Robin Cook & James Hadley Chase

They were the next set of authors introduced to me by my friends and colleagues. At this stage I started reading books for the sake of learning the language. But the way Sidney Sheldon writes his stories… my God how do I mention it, be it a plot or be it a intimate scene… u r right there, nail biting and will never want to keep the book down for food or for any thing else.

Robin Cook, doesnt talk about initmate scene’s a lot but he has his own style of mixing the right ingredients to keep you going, science facts and fiction… what more will you ask for in a mystery/thriller novel. I always liked the subject but was quite weak at it and never took that lane of study. But was always interested in knowing science facts.

Finally, James Hadley Chase, one of my friend saw me reading Sidney Sheldon and Robin Cook and appreciating them so much. He got raged and said… come on they are just into the field you should read the books of the master of mystery James Hadley Chase. He put it in two simple words about the book. He will get you in the first page unlike other authors…

Clive Cussler & Dan Brown

They were few of the mind blowing authors whom I had come across, they mix history, myth and mystery. Always passionate about history, they keep me impressed. If you dont believe my passion in history visit one of the site handled by me “http://www.greatarchaeology.c0m”
Judith Mcnaught and Mary Higgins Clark

They are a few girly authors whom I am reading currently, Judith MaNaught books, though they are too expressive and hard to believe characters, I still like her twists in tales and the blend of romance she adds up to each of her novel. Mary Higgins is also my favourite author, she is very slow in telling her mystery.

J. R. R. Tolkien and Bill Watterson

Last but not the least are my children comics and novelists. Fantasy… Play it a hundred times I still watch all the three parts of Lord of the Rings. Bill Watterson… Just the moment I think aoubt him I get in mind is Calvin and Hobbes… The characters most near and dear to me. Especially when calvin is dreaming… “after his death he is being dug by some archaeologists, they could not relate his bones posture to anything in this world and finally they name him “Evolution’s Disaster”.
I have thought about this atleast a million times since the day I read and each time it leaves me with a smile and a laugh inside
