Mr. Pip and others

I finished reading Mister Pip by Lloyd Jones and it was a great read. It was innocent but involving; magical but real at the same time. Easy to see why it has garnered such critical acclaim and awards. I have now started reading Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts and it is a completely different experience. It is a big book, about 1000 pages or so and I am only 100 pages in but the world again is so real that one can almost smell the location of the story. I can't wait to continue on the journey.

And then I have my list of books that I want to read over the next few months -
  • The Memory Keeper's Daughter
  • A Thousand Splendid Suns
  • Tree of Smoke
  • Kafka on the Shore
  • Divisadero
  • Disgrace
  • The Gathering
  • Falling Man
  • The Night Watch
  • The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
  • The World without Us
  • The Curious incident of the Dog in the night-time
Heeheee....That's the list for now. Let me see if I can find any of them in the local library.
Till later,
Amit

can certainly vouch for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - matter of fact, The Goddess has a lending copy for potential converts.
