Yeah, Animal Farm is awesome too. Yet to read 1984, though.

I liked Dan Brown when I first read The Da Vinci Code. Then I read Angels and Demons, the Illuminati part was great, but the ending sucked. Then I read his other books, and found them to be extremely predictable - all his books have similar kinds of antagonists.

I loved Harry Potter 1-3. 4-6 was good. 7 sucked, especially the ending. However, that ending did do one good - it got me off the Harry Potter mania.

poly and shreya..wow! result this soon. This is like a dream for I.Sc. students in Nepal. We get our results after 4 - 5 months, and it is always under serious criticism for being unjust.

keep ur fingers crossed. I sincerely hope you get good scores.

And, John Grisham has a way with words. His description of the plot is always mesmerizing. I read his 'King of Torts' and 'Chamber'. They were good. And, 'one true thing' (I forgot the name of the author..Anna Something??) is also a good one.
