Stephen king is one of the very best writers. If you loved the Green Mile, you will love Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption published as a short story in his Four Seasons book. Also read his Dark Tower series. Fantabulous!

The Gemini Contenders:
Stretched over two generations, this novel has everything to offer that may overlap with anyone's area of interest. Suspense, thriller, reliving the aftermath of World war II, conspiracy involving christianity and approach of the religious fanatics that seem to have no end. One cannot simply go wrong with Ludlum.
Next in line, The parsifal mosaic.

These are amazing books by Ludlum. So gripping, your heart races.
And how everything ties and comes together as the entire plot starts to reveal itself. I read most of Ludlum back in 2002.
Fond memories. I can't recall every nook and cranny around these books, every small detail, but I remember enough and I'm still impressed as ever.
His magnum-opus in my opinion is The Bourne Identity. Thank the Lord I read them back in the day and did not have the crappy Hollywood adaption of the book to befuddle my imagination.
Don't forget to read The Aquitaine Progression. And honourable mentions; The Scarlatti Inheritance.

Just about to finish Dastak Na Do by Altaf Fatima.

This was my second urdu book in almost two years. I found it a laborious albeit a worthy read. It took me 75 days to finish this, a time period in which I usually read 5 to 6 books.

Dastak Na Do was about the trials of life. Set in pre-independence India, it focused mainly on three sisters, their loves and marriages, their rebellions and duties, and a Chinaman who seems to be destined to be a part of their lives. It has tons of characters, but it gets a little dry for long stretches of time. It is highly descriptive and Urdu was a bit hard for me, but still I managed to finish it. Back in 2004, 2005, I used to be a huge Naseem Hijazi fan, but apparently my Urdu days are behind me.

"Bajang Amad" is funny. I've only read portions from it but have a mind to complete it soon. Col. Muhammad Khan is right up there with Ibn-e-Insha and Mushtaq Ahmad Yousufi as one of the best Urdu language humorists.

I should really get around to it. There's so much Urdu literature at home............
