A couple of months ago I attended a reading by the author of The Toss of a Lemon, and it also sounds like a great book about Indian culture; haven't read it yet, though. I've put Oscar and Lucinda, The Last Chicken and Truffle Wood on my TBR list.

I am reading Revolutionary Road at the moment and not liking it.<BR/><BR/>As for The Enchantress - I have never not liked a Salman Rushdie book.

I forgot while reading it that Paradise was actually non-fiction because it read so smoothly, like a well written story. I was supposed to get the Tamar Yellin book from LT but it never arrived. Have you read her Tales of the Ten Lost Tribes? I might try it.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265301061583417768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-91050601779266849152008-12-31T01:57:00.000-05:002008-12-31T01:57:00.000-05:00Nice list of books!
