Oops ! my bad. Can you please define "proper reading" and how did you know that I didn't read it "properly" ?
I would suggest following books. These are my favorites

1-1984 by George Orwell
2-The bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
3-The book Thief by Markus Zusak
4-The Sicilian by Mario Puzo
5- The stranger by Albert Camus
6- Home by Toni Morrison
7- The fault in our stars by John Green

Happy reading

having read above comments..
I will only say that "Forty Rules of Love " is a true masterpiece to date.. mysticism/ sufism is not a thing that appeals or is discerned by all.. it needs a third eye to see whats going on.. everyone has his/her own choice..

The Alchemist by Paulo cuelho

You can Win by Shiv Khera is also a very good read those who will read it will find it immensely helpful in daily life.. it is free for download on net.

I am reading freedom at midnight and I feel it is a bit biased against MA Jinnah's Pakistan.

First, it doesn't talk about our founding father in high terms. On the contrary the author has praised(so far) both Gandhi and Lord Mountbatten.

Second, the author says there were 35 million Muslims and 30 million Hindus in Bengal. Do you agree with this figure?

Third, the author says that apart from religious differences, all the Punjabis and the Bengalis shared common languages, culture and traditions. What's your view on it?

Fourth, was a Muslim state created for the religion purpose or to get rid of Hindu majority and British rule? What's your view on it?



History people, I need your views.

History people, I need your views.
First statement is beyond argument. We as a Pakistani, acknowledge every effort of our founding father. Our great Quiad has no comparison with M. Batton. Batton made every move in the favor of Hindus embodied by British Imperialism
Second No idea about that. However I ll try to check that one.

Third, According to my little knowledge, There was a lot of difference in language, culture and traditions of Bengalis and Punjabis regarding social norms and values. You can compare a Sikh and Mohajir for example in that case !

Fourth, It was created for both purposes. But everyone manipulated it according to their interest.


P.S: I am not a history person but If you want to discuss further, I ll try to pace up with you !

A Strangeness in My Mind by Orhan Pamuk

“In a city, you can be alone in a crowd, and in fact what makes the city a city is that it lets you hide the strangeness in your mind inside its teeming multitudes.”
Through the daily life of ordinary characters, the author has the amazing talent of describing the social and political history of Turkey and how the city of Istanbul has changed during the twentieth century. Welcome to Istanbul in the late 1969, you are Mevlut. You can wander its streets at night and feel the city breathing as you call out for ice cream and Boza! . Strangeness is a history of the city through the smorgasbord of subtle meanings and sentiments each single alleyway, each single rice-and-chicken seller, every last paved stone square in the older quarters of the town hold for its denizens. It is the story of boza seller Mevlut, the woman to whom he wrote three years' worth of love letters, and their life in Istanbul. What matters more in love: what we wish for, or what our fate has in store? Do our choices dictate whether we will be happy or not, or are these things determined by forces beyond our control?
A Strangeness In My Mind tries to answer these questions while portraying the tensions between urban life and family life, and the fury and helplessness of women inside their homes. Many thanks to Orhan Pamuk. This was my first read of this very author but I am intended to read his others as well !
