Ok for Crime/ Mystery try Henning Mankell authour of Wallander series from Sweden. They were also televised in both Swedish and and English. I am currently on my quest to complete the entire works of Stephen Zweig. Brilliant writer hard to beleive his works were forgotten for over 80 years. They are very short in the form of novellas (mostly around 100 pages) except one. You will more often than not finish one story in one sitting.

Stephen Zweig, Henning Mankell... heard these names for the first time.

I read whatever I can buy at the second hand shops. Had visited the book fair and picked up 15 novels for about Rs. 500

Bought Ian Rankin for the first time, went through a few pages but the setting is in Scotland and everything reads quite foreign. So I am putting it down now for maybe "Theodore Boone" (Grisham) or ... let's see.

Thanks for the new names. Will keep an eye for them.

Any reviews on Stephen King ? Very fat books, have avoided them so far.

I tried the series Inspector Rebus which is based on Ian Ranklin's books. Found it very hard to follow with the Scottish accent without English subtitles. So gave up midway through the first episode. So I can understand how hard it must be to read one of them. I dont think you will find Stephen Zweig's books at second-hand as he is being "rediscovered" in the last couple of years. You should find Henning Mankel as they are very popular. You can watch them online to try it out. The Swedish version for me is the best. Scandinavian crime/mystery is top notch. If you like watching crime series in English and other foreign languages I can give you links for web streaming.

I havent read any Stephen King so far. Infact I haven't read that much American novels except Paul Auster ie apart from the Ludlums, Grisham, Robin Cook, Sydney Sheldon and the sorts in my college days. I guess I am more inclined to European and Latin American authors. Have you read The Street Lawyer by Grisham. It's not the usual Grisham but I liked it very much. I have a very good Public Library near me. So if I like one author I go for his entire collections. Any good Libraries near you? If there is one you really should get a membership.

PS - If you like historical fiction with reality mingled in, you really should look for The Bridge on the Drina by Ivo Andric. It is one of my all time favourites.

Yes, The Street Lawyer. Have it (the same second hand sale . Very good reading, the usual Grisham (not unusual Grisham).

Watching english serials for me is limited to AXN, Zee Cafe, Comedy Channel and maybe Colors Infinity. Need subtitles.

American authors - James Michener is a must, must, must.

What recommendations for a bitcoin can you give? What do you think, is it worth inverting in this coin now? The thing is, a lot of experts believe it's better to wait for a good impulse.

Railway is coming out with "No bill, no pay" policy.

No food bill, no payment – Here's how Railways wants to target overcharging

Hopefully, we traders can press for something like this for call-n-trade charges. How come the brokers are not giving a proper bill for that while charging the full amount + GST ??

Public Provident Fund (PPF) is a small savings scheme that offers decent investment returns along with income tax benefits. The interest rate on PPF is decided by the central government every quarter. The current interest rate offered on PPF for the quarter ended March 31 is 7.6 per cent. March 31 is just round the corner and investing in PPF might help you guarantee some tax benefits for FY18. In fact, State Bank of India (SBI) offers the facility of investing in PPF accounts.

Here are 10 things to know about SBI PPF accounts:

1. Individuals in their own name as well as on behalf of a minor can open PPF accounts account in any SBI branch. Opening of PPF accounts in the name of Hindu Undivided Family is not permitted as of now, said SBI on its website, sbi.co.in.

9. A nomination facility is available in the name of one or more persons. The shares of nominees may also be defined by the subscriber.
