Existentialism Is A Humanism, by Jean-Paul Sartre
Considered by many to be the definining text of the existential movement, Jean-Paul Sartre’s Existentialism Is A Humanism was originally delivered as a lecture, defending his theory against misguided criticisms. To this extent, it is a short but powerful book that can be read in an hour, but take a lifetime to fully understand.
The Eye of the World, by Robert Jordon
There is almost certainly nothing in this book that hasn’t been done before and been done better. Jordon has written a great book and a wonderful series, but he certainly does not come to dominate the world Tolkien created, as his reviewers claim.

Interpreter of Maladies, by Jhumpa Lahiri
This stunning debut by Lahiri confirmed her place as a master storyteller of Indians in the subcontinent and the immigrant Indian community in America. Herself an Indian American, Lahiri manages to jump from the heartbreaking story of When Mr. Pirzada Came To Dine to A Real Durwan. These contrasting stories gives us a unique prespective into the lives of expatriate Indians and to a certain extent also gives social commentary of the lives of the lower caste’s of Indian society.
Bleeding Violet, by Dia Reeves
The tagline “Crazy never looked so beautiful” summarises Hanna’s personality completely. A recluse with a list of emotional disorders long enough to scare anyone, Hanna eventually runs away to find the mother she never knew. On arrival in Portero, where her mother is living, her challenge is to fit in in the town, or leave after two weeks. Thus begins Hanna’s journey into the paranormal and mysterious world of Portero.
Cheating Death by Sanjay Gupta
Sanjay Gupta, a neurosurgeon and medical correnspondent for CNN relates his stories of patients who have survived through almost “miraculous” circumstances. Stories of the recovery of comatose patients and vulnerable heart failure in a baby present a case to make us rethink the blurring lines between life and death.
The Suicide Run, by William Styron
Clearly drawing on skills he so wonderfully displayed in both Sophie’s Choice and Darkness Visible, Styron transports the reader into a mindset he knows very well already; creating a fascinating psychological insight from the same conflicts many modern writers use to simply excite their readers into turning pages.
Terror by Night, by Terry Caffey with James H. Pence
The true story of the brutal texas murder that destroyed a family, restored one man’s faith, and shocked a nation.
Life’s Captivity, by Sharon A. Gricol
Sharon Gricol’s novel illustrates the strengths and flaws in the human character. Infallible yet searching for the truth, the story charts the character’s search for happiness, salvation and love.
