The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich is the book on which the highly successful film, directed by David Fincher, the Social Network is based on.

Largely based on Eduardo Saverin’s perspective, the book is centers on the founding of Facebook and while the veracity of the events in the book have often been dismissed as “lies”, it is a, nonetheless, an illuminating read on how power and ambition can often destroy friendships. The book begins a few weeks preceding the launch of “thefacebook.com” with best friends, Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg portrayed as outcasts with little or no social standing at Harvard and ends on the lawsuit filed by Saverin against Zuckerberg for throwing him out of the company which they together, founded.

The first half of the book is set at Harvard University and campus life while the second half is focuses more on business in the Silicon Valley. The friendship between Saverin and Zuckerberg sours on the latter’s proximity to Sean Parker (founder and creator of Napster) who becomes a mentor-like figure to Zuckerberg which the former clearly detests and on the different methods of operation between Saverin and Zuckerberg.

A tale of genius, power and ambition, The Accidental Billionaires is a great read on the founding of one of the world's most powerful companies by a bunch of college kids. Order today !!

The Silence of the Lambs is the second book (book 1 is Red Dragon) in the highly acclaimed Hannibal series written by Thomas Harris. Stuffed with suspense from page one, the book follows a trainee in the FBI’s behavioral sciences unit, Clarice Starling as she tries to solve the perplexing and gruesome murders being committed by the serial killer only known as Buffalo Bill. She enlists the help of Dr. Hannibal Lector, a brilliant psychiatrist who not only is a serial killer (arrested in book 1) but also a cannibal . The dialogue between the two characters is masterfully written with it being one of the highlights of the book.

The book is considered to be one of the best crime novels ever written, in fact, here’s what the Guardian had to say about the Silence of the Lambs, “There's your run-of-the-mill crime novels, and then there's The Silence of the Lambs. Reading the former would be a great way to pass the time of day and learn the elaborate terms used in criminology. The latter will haunt you till the very end and raise your perceptions of a good mystery novel.”

Children's novelist Roald Dahl also greatly enjoyed the novel, describing it as "subtle, horrific and splendid, the best book I have read in a long time".

The books have been adapted as both films and television series with the Silence of The Lambs adaptation being only the third film in Oscar history to win five Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay.
