Little known books which you'd like to recommend

[A]

The Thing Between U & Me by Sagar Sahu.
I think this is probably one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. If you like love stories, then don't miss this one. It's wonderful!!

[Sumeetha]

I liked Judy Balan's Two Fates: Story of my divorce. A funny spoof on Chetan Bhagat's Two States.

[Som]

The Labyrinth of Time: Introducing the Universe ...not your typical Michio Kaku or Stephen Hawking book..I still treat them as fiction though!

[Akshay]

Goat Days from Benyamin is a translated work which is very nicely written book.

[Ankush]

I'd recommend The Restraint of Beasts by Magnus Mills, a former London bus driver. Surreal, deadpan mystery of sorts. Deserves to be better known in India.

The Restraint of Beasts by Magnus Mills

My posts seem to have disappeared from here? Also, to get back to the discussion, anything by W.G. Sebald, although he is a bit of an acquired taste...

Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Beautiful book on the allure of flight by a pilot.

please add this to Promo threads. This thread is to discuss books other than your own.

Well, it's not really a little known book. But, I don't see it in discussions here. I recommend Man, Woman, and Child. I loved the narration. I read it years back, and with the perspective of a young person, I hated the protagonist and his decisions. If I read it again, I'm sure it will mean a lot more.

I found the first half of this book in my grandfather's trunk and searched bookstores for years to get hold of the complete book. Imagine my joy when I finally I found it on flipkart.
Its a Welsh tale about a silent kind of love that oft goes undeclared. A story which touches you with its simplicity .

I remember reading about it somewhere ... but haven't read the book so far. Has Rana Dasgupta come out with another book after that?

There was a nice article by him on the new face of Delhi some time back, I think in Granta ...

[Ahtims]

I have his collection of stories,

but very very insipid compared to Solo.

Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. I think it's a book everyone should once in their lifetime. A wonderful, wonderful book with the most unpredictable twists ever! Set in Victorian England, it tells the story of two girls brought together by deception.

Give it a try. You can thank me later :)

[Ahtims]

I will surely try it. Was pondering upon the next book to read. And this is somewhere in my massive TBR list.

Have read the Night Watch by her.
It was rather too dragging at times..

[Shruti]

This is thread worthy of a huge 'Thumbs Up' :P
