Yes there are series of books by the name of Janet Evanovich. Her book series are about Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter. The whole series are absolutely hilarious, and entertaining to read. I can promise you that you will never stop reading, you will probably finish the book in like an hour lol

the first book is "One for the Money".....you have to read it in order to understand the books....I know you will like it

warning: there are some adult stuff, but overall the books are good

I am reading Liberalism by Ludwig Von Mises. Great book. Its part of my political economy autodidactive project.

Thats a very disturbing book. David Duke hates black people. Such a racist.

countless times when doing just the recitation like a parrot..with understanding only twice--in Pashto and English...Do you want to know how many 'wazifee' I know/read?
I know the reason for asking this question. The answer is every book is a good book because it gives you knowledge.

I did not like it. It's very boring. And the authors didn't do a good job presenting the subject in a more creative and interesting fashion.

BUT one my many fav books is THREE CUPS OF TEA by Dr.Greg Mortenson--A New York Times's BestSeller and winner of many Awards. (The book's title comes from a Balti's (Baltistan) proverb: "The first time you share tea with a Balti, you are a stranger. The second time you take tea, you are an honored guest. The third time you share a cup of tea, you become family". It is a fantabulous but true story of an American mountaineer (wanted to climb K-2) and his promise with the people to build school for them (in northern Pakistan and Afghanistan). His mission (as he believe) to fight terrorism is through education unlike many Americans.His interviews, videos as well as his articles depicts the kind of human he is.He is the director of the Central Asian Institute whose mission is to provide education to children in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Talibans destroyed many of his schools but he continues his mission..in his own words" the way to fight terrorism is through education".Those interested in supporting his noble cause can give donations to his "pennies for peace" organization. A true human and accomplisher who made the first school in that region by working hard for years in his country so that he can fulfil his promise that he made to the village people! Yeah and his son (very cute) name is KHYBER
"Book Summary

The inspiring account of one man's campaign to build schools in the most dangerous, remote, and anti-American reaches of Asia

In 1993 Greg Mortenson was the exhausted survivor of a failed attempt to ascend K2, an American climbing bum wandering emaciated and lost through Pakistan's Karakoram Himalaya. After he was taken in and nursed back to health by the people of an impoverished Pakistani village, Mortenson promised to return one day and build them a school. From that rash, earnest promise grew one of the most incredible humanitarian campaigns of our time—Greg Mortenson's one-man mission to counteract extremism by building schools, especially for girls, throughout the breeding ground of the Taliban.

Award-winning journalist David Oliver Relin has collaborated on this spellbinding account of Mortenson's incredible accomplishments in a region where Americans are often feared and hated. In pursuit of his goal, Mortenson has survived kidnapping, fatwas issued by enraged mullahs, repeated death threats, and wrenching separations from his wife and children. But his success speaks for itself. At last count, his Central Asia Institute had built fifty-five schools. Three Cups of Tea is at once an unforgettable adventure and the inspiring true story of how one man really is changing the world—one school at a time."

Glad to hear that you like Three cups!!
Yeah I have read the "kabbul Beauty School"...ah, did not like it a bit...It's this one another crazy American woman who goes to change the plight of the women but forgets that she is in Afghanistan (she sounded idiot to me)..and guess what! it is an established truth now that most of the stories (very scary stories of Afghan Women) were kinda manipulated....she even did not keep her promise and used the stories of these women (who were working with her in the Beauty School) and put them in danger while she hereslf left in 2007. During the process, she married Samer (her hubby worked for Dostum and he was already having 7 kids from his first wife anf 8th one in preparation) and moved the Beauty School from the Women's Ministry to her house after her marriage, thereby by defeating the purpose of establishing the school for the welfare of women...and writing the book..At the end, I felt she is making a mockery of our culture, place, and herself!Nonethless, you should still read it..sometimes an (apparently) bad book tells you things that you can't find in good ones because they are too good to be analyzed objectively,lol.So read it...you might as well like it
Btw, I liked EAT, PRAY, AND LOVE too..I did not know there are such great varieties of Pizza in Italy, interesting meditation places in India and Love stuff in Indonesia..that's a story of another American Woman..a hell lot better than the Crazy Debibie.. Julia Roberts is nowadays busy making Eat,Love, Pray movie
