Some good books to read

Hey... i adopted a new hobby .. i mean i was willing to do that for a long time, but could not got any motivation.My hobby is to read बुक्स।
For a long time i was thinking to read CHANDRAKANTA SANTATI by Devki Nandan Khatri, i was serching for that novel for a long time, initially i had tried to purchase that novel from some site, but was unable to find it online.
After my seach for 3 weeks i found the publisher name which is Raj Prakashan of Delhi and on last saturday i finally got the novel.
I had already read the CHANDRAKANTA, so i was a bit aware of the characters. Chandrakanta Santati is story about two son of Chandrakant and Virendra Vikram, Indrajeet Singh and Anand Singh and their fellow Aiyaar.
Although i had just completed the first book of six book and started the second book, but the novel has so much suspance and mystry that i want to complete it as soon as i can.
With this i just got a chance to read a book by Gita Piramal "Insight of CEOs"( I might forgetting the name), this is really good book, which have some basic funda like what CEOs thinks and what all the problems CEOs has faced before reaching to the zenith.

I suggest to person who want to adopt the habit of reading that to begin with the book which they want to read and in the language in which they feel comfortable.
Earliar also i had tried to read the books but everytime i begin to read with english books, so many times i might needed dictionary which is a tiering and frustrating work, i mean to look for the meaning during the reading a book. So it is better to begin with the language in which you feel comfortable.

Feel free to make any comments :).

Glad you found the book. Of the different publisher's I find the prints of Chandrakanta published by Rajkamal the best.
Have fun reading the rest of the series!!
Some might call me crazy, but in last 18 years or so, I have read Chandrakanta about 25 times, and Santati about 15!! :-D

If you feel more comfortable writing in hindi, you can use the unicode fonts, made easy by new transliteration feature of blogger.
