Looking for book reccos

Wed, 2006-03-29 00:28 — ssm

Apologies for being AWOL for a very long time. I won’t bore you with the reasons why, but the prime suspect is the usual one Sticking out tongue

A relative is visiting from India, and he’s promised to get me whatever books I want. So I’m looking for books published in the last couple of years in India (and hard to get hold of via the likes of Amazon) that you’d care to recommend. Fiction/non-fiction/anything at all.

I spent a few minutes earlier today frantically scouring back issues of the Hindu’s Literary Review. And then I realized I should be tapping the best source there is - DSS Smiling

Thanks a ton, in advance !
