. Be it an IT professional, a policeman, a lawyer or a student you are expected to face the heat of the city. Somewhere we get lost in this race where in fact nobody wins irrespective of their place. A weekend trip or a trek may perhaps solve the problem, but for how long? You cannot do it every often. One way out of it is certainly getting engrossed in reading. Some of the most popular books have their unique way of giving you solitude. Here are some of them.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Anna Quindlen

Written by a team of English and American authors, Jane Austen and Anna Quindlen, Pride and Prejudice is one of the most coveted books of all times. Jane Austen's witty comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. Renowned literary critic and historian George Saintsbury in 1894 declared it the "most perfect, the most characteristic, the most eminently quintessential of its author's works," and Eudora Welty in the twentieth century described it as "irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be.

Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien

This epic book written by English author J.R.R Tolkien, often named as the father of fantasy, could well be termed as a work of a millennium. Written during the World War II era, the title The Lord of the Rings refers to the story's main antagonist, the Dark Lord Sauron aganst the good; a team comprised of Aragorn, a Human Ranger; Boromir, a man from Gondor; Gimli, a Dwarf warrior; Legolas, an Elven prince; Gandalf, a Wizard and some Hobbits named Frodo Baggins, Samwise "Sam" Gamgee, Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck and Peregrin "Pippin" Took. Covering 3 volumes, the trilogy is one of the bestsellers of all times. Considering the time when it was written with the limited media reach and publicity, Tolkien has produced a masterpiece that has become a reference for some of the best authors in history. Many book clubs today boast of at least one copy of the trilogy. Having the LOTR is a matter of pride. Though humungous in size, this is a treat for those who love exploring the unknown.
