Books from last recall

The Golden Gate, hoping the love of my life will read it to me ... leave it to him

Solo, have never read the author's works before ... brilliant so far, just a few pages ... thought he was copying Jhumpa Lahiri's style of presenting ... but was proved wrong pretty early!

Nani's book of suicides, from a friend's collection, havent finished as yet. Started with a boring note and exploded into a full raging fire! Simply love her writing. Maybe somewhere I can connect with that kind of writing, should I say thoughts. I now imagine things more than before .. see a rag and imagine it to be a mendicant, can smell omelettes and I see an egg carrier passing by... she's definitely getting me loopy!

The Music Room, lovely book. I would have not read it if it was just facts collated... a story binding it all. Introduced me to Kesar Bai Kelkar, owe it to the author. Revived my love for classical music once again.
