i would love to go to pakistan and walk into a library to see what novels they have there. does anyone know of any titles i could search for online just to get some idea?
I read few Novels by Razia Butt when i was 17/18...i still have small collection...gosh she takes you into this fantasy world using her writing style in Urdu.
Depends on Ur Interste wat U wanna Read…
IN Urdu U will find lots of Options..
If wana Read History… Try Naseem Hijazi…
If wana Read Safarnamay… Travelogues… Go for Mustansar Hussain TaraR
If wana Read… Really good stuf… Go for Any thing from ASHFAQ AHMAD ( hard ot digest 
)
U can Rad Bano Qudsia as well…
If wana go for Jasoosi 
IBNE SAFI is gr8
Poetry… if U wana read somethign very near to life.. I would sugest… Faiz… and.. U will also Find SAHIR Ludhyanivi…
Lots more …
^ more if you wana read Mazaah (humor) then Ibn-e insha, Shafiq-ur rehman. Afsaney – Saadat hasan mantoo, krshan chandar. novels-- Razia butt, – other books … Shahab nama by qudrat ullah shahab, books by mumtaaz mufti are good too :k:
Library's in Lahore...Punjab Public Library behind NCA/ Old Towlington market or Diyal Singh College Library are good for some old Urdu novels by writers which are not that well known. But for most Famous Urdu writers the stuff is available from any good bookshop on the Mall.
As code_Red has mentioned also, I would recommend any of the books from Mumtaz Mufti, Bano Qudsiyah, and Ishfaq Ahmed they are always marvelous.
thank you everyone :)
As for the recent touch in urdu fiction i would recommend you not to miss reading novels by Umaira Ahmed and Riffat Siraj
Bano qudsia and tarar sahab always rule :k:
