July 2013:
Yoni Sacred Games by Vikram Choudry
I was amazed when I first read this exciting Indian detective novel. It presents a side of India which is rarely discussed and only now is being written about. This book was an opening to his work and since this novel I have read everything he has written and much modern Indian fiction besides. It is a longish novel, but can be read quite quickly. I hope you will enjoy this as much as I did. If you enjoy this then it's fast forward to "a suitable boy" by Vikram Seth the longest novel written in English!
Noam: A walk in the woods Bill Bryson. this is of course, a result of our recent visit to the Smokies. In his usual style Bryson begins with the optimistic aim of walking the whole AT. He tells the story in a way which could be likened to listening to Ian and me chatting about something we did when we were younger, but done brilliantly by Bryson. I know you will love it.
