Bunch of comics (Archies, TinTin and Amar chitra kathas)

And a Mother Load of Aviation books (Weather, flying, Aerobatics et. al).

Need more suggestions. I love to read biographies and autobiographies and especially of Indian Sages and Wise men like chanakya
 
OK Here goes my suggestions which I have read and enjoyed a lot..
1) Papillon (A true story of adventures of a guy who escaped from jail 13-14 times)
2) Catch-22 (most hilarious fiction)
3) Mysteries of Mind over Matter(by Ved Prakash)
4) Autobiography of Mohammed Ali
5) Lee Iacoca
6) Series of book on meditation and life of lamas by Lobsang Rampa like Third Eye, Wisdom of the Ancients, Doctor from Lhasa
7) Chariots of Gods, Gold of Gods by Erich Von Deniken
8) Play of Consciousness by Swami Muktananda(If ur interested in paranormal and metaphysics)
9) Verappan - the untold story
10) Time-Machine(H G Wells)-who can forget that

Thats enough for this time, I suppose. More later..
 
What about "Diary of Anne Frank"?

Mention of Mein Kempf( I read when I was in 12th!!!) reminded me of this , I finished
this a couple of months earlier, a rather moving tale certainly better than movie :)
 
......and yes "God of Small things"
although personally i dont like Arundhati Roy(all those ultra-leftist tantrums!!)... but here she did pretty good job... real good insight into malayalam lifeytle.... and yes it is her own story although little modified ....anyway recommended!
 
well these r few of the books which i think i will recommend..

1.My experiments with truth by gandhi..though i personally dont like him..but this one is good..

2. I read a series of books by Richard Bach and they r all good...Jonathan livingston seagull was excellent..and The One and Bridge across forever were a bit romantic types..abt finding ur true love...they r all a bit philosphical..and yes The illusions was also good...

3 Third wave by elvin tofler was a good book abt the cycles in economy..

thnaks for putting up names of lots of good books to all..even i will choose some and try to read them..
 
I would suggest.. you read..
1)A People's History of the United States
2)The Zinn Reader
3)Declarations of Independence
4)Howard Zinn on History
5)Howard Zinn on War
6)Terrorism and War
All by howard zinn.
7)Dialectical Biologist by lewins and lewontin.
