    'No Easy Day' by Mark Owen... Even though the writing style was not that great but the content of the book , which gave us an insider's account of the life of a Seal and the various other intricacies and details about the Operation Geronimo, made it a riveting read.

    Unbroken... You will never complain again...at least without realizing that the complaint is shallow and unworthy of notice.

    Killing Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly. The unconventional style of this book made it one of the best History "reads" I have had in quite some time.

    Life of Pi. Enriching to the spirit while also extremely edge of the seat entertainment.
