Favorite Story or Book

my fav story is panchatantra..

best fiction ...well Kane & Abel by Jeffrey Archer

i love chetan bhagat. he has given us novels like FIVE POINT SOMEONE & ONE NIGHT @ CALL CENTER. his way of writing is fundoo and he is so humorous in his appproach that u can't feel bore while reading his novels. both of his works r amazing and he has a gr8 sense of humour as it seems from his work.

I thought Hound was the best novel, I would've liked to see more Holmes, but I still felt it was the best paced of the novels. As much as I loved Silver Blaze (hey, it had a horse didn't it?) I think maybe 5 Orange Pips might've been better. they made us read the Speckled Band in middle school and I've always had a problem with it because snakes can't do what Doyle was describing.

My favorite Holmes mystery is Hound of Baskervilles, Sign of Four. The other mystery men I like are Hercule Poirot & Perry Mason
