[QUOTE=Saccopoo;10463335]Books I've finished the last month or so:
"The Guide" by R.K. Nayaran (1958)
- Nayaran creates a wonderful protagonist in "Railway" Raju, who quickly goes from an innocent but clever student and son of a loquacious shopkeeper to a savvy travel guide to a self-deceptive, head-over-heels in-love talent manager to a resigned but fully satisfied prison inmate to a reluctant but willing prophet. While originally written in 1958, the story, characters and scenarios are fresh and relevant.

In. I just finished The Ramayana last week, and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Good to hear his other books are well written.
