by Arundhati Roy

Amazing book. Its the last book in a Southasian lit class I'm taking, and a great way to finish things off.

The character development, the sequencing, the details (the details!!). All around wonderful. I have to imagine she writes poetry as well.

I read it in like a week because I felt I had to make up for wasted time after the book I read before.

A Song of Stone by Iain Banks. I really tried to get into this book. And there were some interesting sentences. and creative descriptions. But the awful plot and second-person narrative (you did this, I did that, etc) just messed it all up. Second person narratives are especially disturbing when describing sex. I just shivered a little bit.

Next, I don't know. Ulysses?
