I'm so glad to hear that. I think he's an amazing poet, and a very nice person too, which I discovered after I fan-mailed him once to tell him how good he was :) I'll be looking up his books next.

[Rajesh]

I am reading "Shame" by Jaspinder Sangerah

[Lara]

Reading Burnt Shadows by Kamila Shamsie. Interestingly it is set against a wide backdrop of Nagasaki, Delhi, Karachi.

[Susie]

loved all the Verghese books, too. Read the Thing About Thugs. Will be interested to know what you think of it. I thought it was creepy.

[Ming]

I'm reading Five Queen's Road (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/70...) by Sorayya Khan and it's very good. Such a treat! Her book Noor (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...) was excellent. I think her talents and gifts need to be recognized more widely.

Under the Banyan Tree and Other Stories

[Renuka]

I'm finishing Wild Ceylon and Vanished Trails by Dr Spittel. I started to read them as research for my novel but find it hard to finish any books these days. But he can write so gracefully, I feel I've achieved something even if I read just a few pages.

Thanks for the great recommendation Ming. I've been looking for historical fiction set during the partition of Pakistan/India and will definitely check out "Partition".

I'm currently re-reading "Interpreter of Maladies" by Jhumpa Lahiri. I first read it almost 6 years ago and while good, I didn't think it was anything special. But having grown and lived a little since then, the stories really resonate with me today and I can appreciate it in way I couldn't before.

I've also been reading "On the Outside Looking Indian" by Rupinder Gill. It's a memoir of a 30 year old Canadian-Indian woman who sets out to experience the things that she missed out on during childhood. Mildly amusing, though not all that compelling. This book is currently paused. I might pick it up again if I run out of things to read.

Hello fellow readers, looking for suggestions on any audio book selections of South Asian fiction. So what have you listened to lately? I am having a hard time finding anything other than the Namesake and The Splendor of Silence, so if you have suggestions, would love to know them.

Hi, Luaunna, I did a quick search on Amazon and google and not surprisingly couldn't find anything either. But if I do come across any audio books, will let you know.

Hello people, I'm seeking reviews for an e-book. The book is called Sudhi Kannan V/S Indigo Protein. I have uploaded half of it and would like to know your opinion on it, as in, if it's good enough to turn into a paperback novel or otherwise.

It would be awesome if you can write your reviews / opinions in the Sudhi Kannan V/S Indigo Protein page. Thanks!
