    I just started India as well (took a short hiatus from reading to watch some tv). The Italy part was much more interesting when she was lusting after men...now she's just meditating all day. BOOOOOORING. ;)

    a Jeremy Clarkson one about the world motoring habits... it's very very funny
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    "Doctor Zhivago" by Boris Pasternak.

    Love it, it's so poetic. he paints beautiful pictures with his words. some of the lines could actually stand on their own, as a poem. i wish i could speak russian, so i could read the non-translated original version.
    definitely recommend this one!

    Ralph Ellison by Arnold Rampersad. It's over 500 pages, and not daunting because it flows really nicely. I'm only on page 188, but so far I'd recommend it.

    That's a good one. My favourite of his is still a toss up between 'On the road' and 'Big Sur' though.

    The War of the Buttons (La guerre des boutons) by Louis Pergaud

    Not sure if it's been translated, though, as it contains a lot of colloquialisms.
    However, I am learning lots of insults I've never heard before.
