Novels for the Novice

Well this is again a post about English. For people who are going to start reading novels for the first time I wish to include a few suggestions. Gone are the days where novels are as big as your engineering textbooks. Those were Shakespeare-ian times. Nowadays novels as a small as 100 pages. Be it small or big; novels should have a capability to make readers glued on till last page. That's the only trick which creates passion. Some of the novels i suggest for the novice are

1. 2 States: It's one hell of a novel. Be it in terms of simple English or witty humor; CB has done absolute justice to his 4th novel. This is definitely the best from Chetan Bhaghat. Start with this and you will surely love the novel, Chetan Bhaghat and English (not exactly in this order).
2. I too had a love story: This book is for modern day Romeos and Juliets. This is definitely an awesome work from a first time author. When it comes to real life tragedies people become more stronger than before. Ravinder Singh is one of that kind. Read this heart touching love story. This is definitely a good start for an amateur reader.
3. Preeti Shenoy Novels: This one is especially for girls because it will kindle your feminine feelings and also you will be feeling a bit of you in every book of hers.

Once you have done with these books then you can move on to more higher level books like CB's rest 4 novels, other Indian authors like Durjoy Datta, etc and even fantasies like Harry Potter and Twilight.
