Gayatri,

It would help if you listed what type of books you're not interested in.

To relax myself, I read my collection by Dr. Seuss.
For a good thriller, I always think about: Intensity by Dean Koontz. (One of my favorites) but I don't know if you're interested in that.

Here's a few to give you some ideas.

It depends what floats your boat. A few of my recommendations are:
The Farm - finished last night and thought it was very good.
The Horse Whisperer - one of my favourite books of all time. You don't even necessarily need to like horses as it's more about exploring relationships when people are at their most vulnerable.
Cujo - Stephen King is always a good read. This book actually made me feel a bit teary!
The Amityville Horror - good if you like a bit of tension
Unsticky - something a bit more fun.
Northern Lights - If you're American it'll be The Golden Compass. Brilliant, brilliant book (IMO)

A House Called Askival by Merryn Glover.



It's not philosophical on the surface, but it deals with the themes of guilt and family, and how people become the people they become, and viewing people through different perspectives and through time. I can't recommend it highly enough, not enough people know about it.
It's about a woman who returns to India after 24 years, to a home she grew up in as a missionary's daughter. It flips between that and the perspective of her missionary dad, and his own childhood, so there's a good spectrum of post-Partition India in there too that is supposedly very accurate (the author lived there herself in similar circumstances). Also, it's very readable - the thought-provokingness kind of takes you by surprise, it's not heavy handed. I enjoyed it so much.

It's currently on kindle promo and there are discounts from the publisher on bulk orders from book groups, should you be interested.

Here are some of my favourites (the first one is an autobiography the rest are fantasy-esque):

You should checkout the Dresden Files Series! Best book series ever!

Let's see

Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series and her League series. Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series.

Those are a few I can think of off the top of my head that have a lot of books in them.

Ex-footballer turned author Arild Stavrum's crime fiction novel Exposed at the Back exposes corruption within the beautiful game.

"Finally, a football crime book!" - Jo Nesbo

“What setting could be more apt for crime, corruption and cover-up than multi-billion pound world of modern football?” - Doug Johnstone

“The agents, the fixers, the people who contribute nothing to football and leech money out — don’t like me,” says author Arild Stavrum. "I wanted to highlight the crimes which are being committed in the sport. Football is a beautiful game, and I hate people who steal from it. It’s true, I do focus on dark areas of the game — but they do exist, believe me.”

Norway's most powerful soccer agent, the charismatic and ruthless Arild Golden, is found brutally murdered. Rumors circulate about infidelity and secret deals, about billions that cannot be traced and stories about talented African players who are dumped without papers when they fail to make the grade in the professional game. The lawyer Steinar Brunsvik, a former player for Ajax and the Norwegian national team, as asked to represent murder suspect Taribo Shorunmo. Shorunmo is a former pro soccer player living in Norway without a visa. Brunsvik discovers that his own soccer career has a connection to Golden's murder and realizes he caught in the middle of a dirty game that could prove fatal.
