The Hunger Games triology (Fiction 1165pg)

The Hunger Games triology
 – The Hunger Games (384 pg)
 – Catching Fire (391 pg)
 – Mockingjay (390 pg)
      - Suzanne Collins
(Score: 8.5/10, 8/10, 7/10 for the three books in that order. A post apocalyptic world, written as a feature film script from the word go. While the first of the series of the trilogy could be read independently, the later two books definitely need the previous book as mandated reading. Easy print, quick read thriller).

The Capitalism Delusion (Non-Fiction 312pg)

The Capitalism Delusion – How Global Economics Wrecked Everything and What To Do About It
      - Bob Ellis
(Score: 9/10. A must read for every person who believes in socialism or is trying to understand socialism. This book could as well have been the manifesto for "Occupy Wall Street" movement. The book is presented in 350 odd arguments and with powerful arguments and examples, it is difficult not to hate the manipulative ways of big corporations and question how the Governments are supporting the corporations at the expense of a vast majority).
