I'm reading 'A Fine Balance' by Rohinton Mistry - set in India in 1975 when the 'Emergency' (as they referred to it) was happening - follows the lives of 4 seperate people from different castes, and how their fates bring them together... was recommended to me after I told a few people how much I loved 'Shantaram'...

Am really enjoying it - its 600p of extremely small print, started it a week ago and have just under 200p left

I have sooooo many books on my 'to read' list... just need the time to read them all
