Someone suggested the Kama Sutra for Steve, but I say no! No pictures allowed, please, he-he.
Here are some suggestions so far:
1. Passage to India
2. God of Small Things - by Arundhati Roy - short and wonderful!
3. White Tiger - by Aravind Adiga - winner of the Booker Prize
4. Q & A - Vikas Swarup - basis for Slumdog Millionaire
5. The Namesake or Interpreter of Maladies - both by Jhumpa Lahiri
6. Anything by Salman Rushdie - three time winner of Booker - Satanic Verses, Midnight's Children, etc.
7. Anything by VS Naipal
8. Blue Boy by Rakesh Satyal
9. Taj by Sandra Wilson
10. Breathless in Bombay
11. A Fine Balance by R. Mistry - another personal favorite of mine
12. August, English: An Indian Story

I was going to suggest Rushdie if I had made it to the last meeting - which I slept through...(I told you all that 4 pm on Saturdays almost always coincides with my nap time).
I had just picked up Rushdie's Haroun and the Sea of Stories and thought that would be appropriate for the book club. I've already read Midnight's Children> which may be too long and dense for some given only a month to read. I also read The Enchantress of Florence and I don't like to suggest anything i've already read because I too want to read something new (even though i recommend both of these Rushdie books to all).
That's my vote.
Hope to make it to the next meeting - I've been keeping up by reading picks though, so book club has been on my mind!
Yeah! We miss you!
