Just got done with Q&A by Vikas Swarup (the book that Slumdog Millionaire was based on). As much as I loved the movie, the book just blows the movie away. Almost a completely different read.
Also in the middle of a few books... Alan Greenspan's The Age of Turbulence, Black Swan, Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol (don't think I'll finish that... rubbish), and re-reading The God of Small Things by Arundathi Roy.
BTW, if anyone wants a glorious view into Indian Sub-continental culture, Arundathi Roy is the person to read. Amazing. She has a harsh, political activist side to her, but her novels are simply divine. The God of Small Things is a must read...
Great topic, Seyed
