Book Recommendations Invited
Please hit Comment and recommend me a well-written book that I must read.
Two books that I remember enjoying -Full Tilt by Dervla Murphy; Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Full Tilt is autobiographical. It’s about a 21 year old woman’s journey from Ireland to India on her cycle. Roald Dahls have always been a source of great pleasure. Salman Rushdies have helped a lot in long train journeys.
I did not enjoy The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.
KiteRunner was so-so. I would love to be recommended deeper books with the stuff of life in them. Contemporary bestsellers have usually let me down.
Recommend me some good non-fictional works!

Did you change your reply, with your tone now leaning towards authority ? ( becasue I remember reading somethign about mail bouncing back ) Your copywriting seems to be affecting your personal life too.
Or am I imagining things now?

Copywriting is definitely affecting personal life. And the funny thing is, I changed my reply as i found the second one more polite. As I see, your perception differs. Or maybe you are imagining things.
Anyway, lets not get into an argument. Seriously, thanks for visiting my blog and thanks for the recommendation. Now get lost!
