Not really, just that I learned use this cool phrase from his book, “Five point someone”. Don’t ask me if this is the only thing I learned from that book ok ?
Let me tell you something, I am not reviewing the book here, ok ? I can’t review any book, actually, ( I really don’t know how to !! someone teach me ? ) All I can do is, share my experience; is that the thing that you call book review ? uhmm, I am not quite sure,
This one was a fun read, easy to follow, and funny, most of the times. I felt that I am in a conversation with the author, and I didn’t want the book to have an end at all….
Fighting Readers Block ….
I was finding it hard to read more books, like how I used to do, during my college days. Now, with this book, I realize that my tastes have changed, and I should think about something “young” – this one, of course. I finished this book in 6 days which is pretty fast, compared to my average speed these days and now I feel like reading more .
Suggestions ?

I recently read Almost SIngle that was a good read. than i also read chetan bhagat 3 mistakes of life that was also good. Read thiese two than will tell what else to read
@ s4n705h
thanks .. I will go with 3 mistakes of life, first
Did u like Chetan Bhagat? I read One Night @ call center and that was an over hyped over rated book. I have heard bad reviews of his 3rd Book too. See this blog..it has a lot of book reviews.

@ Reema
One Night @ call center was not good, I agree …. even though I have some call center experience in my life ..
about this book, yes, I loved this one, and that doesn’t mean that Chetan is a hero
let me read the third book, and I will tell you ..
thanks for the link
suggestions…hmmm yes!
please don’t read the next two books..rather watch Karzz or sit for a Roadies interview..they suck!
@ Parul
lol .. really ? hmmmm I shouldn’t be paying for that then hi hi … ok, I will wait .. let me try some other books then .. coz, I don’t want to screw my new energy
download ebooks and read. save money. So that even if you dont like the book, the only thing you wasted is the download time.
You read chetan bhagat?? Why?? He’s the biggest jackass the world has ever seen!
Read italo Calvino’s “If on a winter’s night a traveler…”
It’s an awesome read!
5 point someone was better than the other 2 books. Don’t read 3 mistakes….it’s a waste of time. Humph.
You took 5 days to read it ?? =D
If you like ‘light’ hearted books, try P.G.Woodhouse !! =D
And oh, love the theme btw. Color combination is simply superb.
@ Philip
e-books, don’t think it will work .. when I am on the comp, chance for loads of distractions .. and you can carry ebooks just like that, right ? but, I would love, if I get Amazon’s Kindle
@ Nikhil
hmm, yes, I did
and I loved this book anyway, may be I just loved it’s language and plot … but he made me read, that’s the important thing for me now
thanks for the suggestion
@ Priya
loads of comments against that book now and I have decided not to buy it
thanks for the suggestion, yes I need “light” books for some time ..
thanks..
and wait.. the theme can change anytime !
Some years ago I liked reading books, but, right now, I haven’t time to do it, and sincerely I think that I couldn’t be able to read a book in a short time, like I did many years ago.
sorry, I couldn’t give u any advices, ’cause, like I have already said, right now I am not a good reader! *HUGS/KISSES*
Dude I think Chetan had one good story and it ended with 5 point someone, after which he is desperately trying re create the magic, and failing.
On reading books I used to read A book a day now I have not finished a book I picked up 3 months back
@ Smallstar
thanks
no problem.. hope you will start reading again very soon 
@ Chirag
haa another guy in the same condition
I am happy hi hi .. 
but, I can’t make a judgment coz I am yet to read the rest of his books….
and Chetan .. hmm there are chances that the truth is, just like you said, no more interesting stories to share ..
i agree with nikhil
@ vishsesh
ok
are you happy now ? with a post about books 
I’m not sure why people think that his books’ standard is going down. Actually I find them pretty fun.. .although very bollywood style
I don’t read much books although I want to but then I hardly get any time from my blogging work.
I haven’t read five point someone …have read the call center one and the third cricket one…and found them pretty entertaining
I have never read his books. Don’t know why but whenever my hands move towards them, my mind pulls them back.
@ Mayan
standards going down ?
ok .. then I am lucky enough to read only the first book 
and yea, I feel they are written in a bollywood style .. and five point someone will make a good movie, I am sure.
@ amit
lol ok, after reading comments from you all, I feel I will start doing the same !!
To Kill a Mockingbird. Or maybe the God of Small Things—since you are quite close to Kerala, I think you’ll like the latter.
It’s all about Kerala and the story revolves around Syrian Christians from Kerala.
i have not read any chetan bhagat books ..though i am curious why india is going gaga over him and his books ..
I am a fiction guy so i can tell u loads of fiction books u must read. .
what say ??
as u said ur tastes have changed i am not writing the book names here
@ Ruhi
I am not “quite close to kerala” I am living in Kerala, that too for over 23 years
and god of small things ? 
I am still reading it .. we have few posts about it here …
@ arvind
Okay, as Mayank said, his books are bollywood style
and that is they are so popular …
@Mayank : Seriously yes! He writes as if he writing a script/story for a bollywood movie
And reading his books are of no use. They have no meaning at all! Here’s a review of the 3 mistakes of my life!
@ Joel
okay, I agree, there was no big meaning, in his blog, but it was fun read, and thats what I wanted, for now, to get myself back on track
I am going to shout now…. DON’T READ HIS THIRD BOOK, ITS THE WORSE ONE!!!
Ok fine, read Life of PI, its pretty cool book (thanks to Nikhil and Scorpria
)
@ Suda
ok, here comes another comment against that book
life of pi, is it a tough read ? I am finding it hard to read books complete … so, I am looking for simple books ..
It very simple, I finished it in 3 days or say 3 nights. And its gooooood
and man booker award winner 
@ Suda
humm, sounds interesting
I have a review of the book pending in my google reader 
when are you adding yours dude ? 
I have read this book thrice…may be the fact that it is in a way my alma mater made a difference….
Try reading “Snap Shots from Hell” or any of the shopaholic series you’ll enjoy them…
