Alright. So, I am not a fan of novels or story books or stuff like that but I love reading intellectual books. I would recommend all of you, giving "Blink:The power of thinking without thinking" by Malcolm Gladwell a go. Its a book related to psychology. Basically, its just about how our unconscious brain works and how spontaneous decisions are as good as the ones made after thorough thinking.

Now, that I have recommended a book, I would like you people to recommend me one. I'm dying to find a good book.

Genuine books are expensive, cheap copies are pirated. FML! Isn't there such a thing as second-hand genuines?
And Liberty hasn't even got the books I want. FMLitA!

U should read Nancy Drew series. Its awesome detective stories. I have got 5 or 6 of it because only Paramount have it and some good dealers.
U should also read Macbeth, Julies Caesar and best of all Romeo and Juliet.

^Yeah I have been reading it. It has an amazing premise and whats more amazing that how many ways a single premise can be twisted to make more and more interesting stories.
The book has around 30 stories which were selected from 500 stories. Wooo big numbers.


BTW the book is available as a pdf on their website........for free!

Pay a visit to the Boat Basin outlet of Liberty Books every now and then. It's their discount outlet where you can find lots of books for pretty cheap and every now and then there is a sale going on.
Damn, I was in a party at a place just opposite to Bait-ul-Mukarram yesterday. But thank you MUCH, friend! Really appreciate it! :)

One more thing, Mr. Moonblood, these stores don't have those pirated ones, right? And what place would be my best bet for books more than 10 years old?

Thank you so much, sir!

Pirated books? highly unlikely. That's the first time I've heard that. I doubt anyone's making local copies of anything else but academic books.

More than 10 year old books? Which books are you exactly looking for? You can easily easily find most books published within last century anywhere. Famous works don't go out of print.

Uh yeah, you know those books that look like photo-copies with white rough pages and some faded text? My dad got me a book that I asked him to from Urdu Bazaar and it is that photo-copy type one!
I'm looking for a couple of popular science books.

The Ultra-Condensed Classic Books

Got another book report to do?

"English teachers have the inconsiderate habit of assigning mammoth-sized works of literature to read and then actually expecting you to do it. This wouldn't be so bad except that invariably the requisite reading is as boring as fly fishing in an empty lake. Half of those books don't even have discernible plots. And let's face it -- the Cliff's Notes are pretty time-consuming too. Worry no more. Your troubles are over. We here at Book-A-Minute Classics have come up with a solution. We've taken all kinds of great works of literature and boiled them down to their essence, extracting all the filler (and believe me, there's a lot of it sometimes). In just one minute, you can read entire books and learn everything your teachers will expect you to know.

"That's nice," you say, "but I don't believe you." Yah hah, skeptical soul! We've got our collection of ultra-condensed books right here! We've got everything from Shakespeare to Steinbeck! See for yourself!"
