It read with interest the HBR article on Joseph Finder, the fiction author who writes about issues in corporate world crime,cyber crime (There is also a video). I had heard of Joseph Finder about 2 years back but didn't find time to read his books as I had practically stopped reading fiction.
So I just thought that I would put my 10 best authors. It is difficult to put in any order. Would look for comments. I think cutting to 10 is difficult. I must say I am putting this list after almost reading 90-100% of their works.
Arthur Hailey. Final Diagnosis left with tear in the eye. Airport was master stroke.
Irving Wallace: Second Lady, The word, the Man, the Prize. Makes you wonder as real issues.
Alistair Maclean: All books glue you.
John Grisham: The Firn, the Partner, the Broker was great.
Ken Follett: Eye of the needle, The Iranian Hostage crisis(Dont remember the name).
Jeffrey Archer: Shall we tell the President. Kane and Abel.
Colin Forbes: Stone Leopard.OOPs, He is no more, Missed his death news.
Sydney Sheldon: Other side of midnight.
Desmond Bagley: High Citadel, Golden Keel
Fredrick Forsyth: Dogs of war, Day of the Jackal, Fourth protocol.
Earl Stanley Gardner: Big list.
James Hadley Chase.: Big list.
Mario Puzo, Harold Robbins would also make the cut. I haven't read any of Agatha Christie.
Fiction helps you to think some times beyond normal course of thinking.
I am reading the non fiction of John Grisham's Innocent Man. Should find time to finish it. Good book.
I am also glad that the Supreme court has come very heavily on the Bandh(Strike/ civil action) planned in Madras tomorrow. But the question is will the politicians learn?
OK till next time, take it easy and take care, Live Conciously.

Karthik.
