Books are the most valuable but the most underestimated things in this world. Rare are those who understand the true worth of a good manuscript. Those who do, venture into a world of unseen and unforgettable enigma. Books are real pleasure houses that cast an impression that visual depictions fail to create.
The book stores are perhaps the least visited places even in cities with high literacy rates. But lately people have started getting inclination towards literature. There is a sudden resurgence in the book market recently. The reason may be because of the publicity which a few best-sellers got. The 'Harry Potter' series gained the maximum popularity and fame and it became the largest selling books of all times. It induced an addiction of fiction even into the non-readers. The same phenomenal furore was seen when the controversial fiction 'The Da Vinci Code' by celebrated veteran author Dan Brown hit the book stands.
The Indian Book store apart from having a varied and comprehensive assortment of manuscripts from foreign authors also proudly display the works of indigenous authors. 'The Sea of Poppies' from Amitav Ghosh has made enough admirers during the first few weeks of its release. The book has a detailed portrayal of pre-independence era in India seen from the prism of a Patriot.
Another much-adored book is by Pradeep Magazine on Cricket, the craze of India. The book primarily focusses on the unfortunate incident of Bob Woolmer's death. The betting Mafia was suspected to have been involved behind his untimely death. The book shows the opinions and allegations of Pradeep Magazine's, who happens to be the most celebrated cricket writer of Indian origin.
Among all the genre of books, fiction is undoubtedly the most appealing category. The books on fiction give the writer a freedom of expression. A complex moral is made easy to understand with the help of a gripping storyline. There are a number of fiction books that top the preference list of readers. Choose your own nightmare, 'my so-called boyfriend', 'the haunted baby' and 'the quantum rose' are just a few names from an everlasting list of fictions from the most wonderful writers flocking every book store today. The award-winning fiction called 'No country for old men' by Cormac Mc Carthy is ruling the charts these days. Books like these contribute a great a deal to the recent revival and expansion of the book-loving community.
