who is Ishtaiq ahmed and farzana??

Sheraz ct: does his books give the touch or ideas of wahabi-ness?

mst ram :confused: never heard of either of them!

sometime back i think he joined some 'movement' against Qadianis and started inserting that literature in the covers of his novels.. pathetic move i must say.. but equally pathetic is the way he increased the number of stories per month exponentially while the quality deteriorated.

Have you read anything by Isaac Asimov? He is my favourite author, I like SF, too. His stories are so creative and imaginative. Brilliant, too!

funguy: :hehe: nahin yar…may be i did it for :ahaa: Professor Dawood :~) Good old days..yar i have read his novels..abbu se chup chup kar…(washroom/store and what not places).

Naryalon ke takraane ki awaaz :hehe:

monasha: Farzana was one of his female characters… :~)

PA: It’s been a really long time since i laid my hands on one of his ‘master pieces’ of late…i just want to pick one up to see how far South the standards have gone.

Sorry, i went off on a tangent..please continue.

Tom Clancy is the best of them all. Red Storm Rising and Rainbow Six were awesome.

Try Red Storm Rising… I think it’s Clancy’s finest hour!

koontz and king write scary stories.

What about uplifting stories...

Cosmos...by...Carl Sagan

Xanth..(series) .. by Piers Anthony...fun..completely fun and funny.

The Good Earth....by Pearl Buck. I first read the story from a Readers Digest condensed....book. After .. as I was small.. I watched the movie..and reread the book. Still is..my favorite alltime book.

^ above stories are wonderful, imaginative, and fun.

Read them..and report.

Creighten...whats that story? people woosh...back in time...midievil.. that was also an amusing story... but not comparable to The Good Earth.
