A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry

maizydaze, September 23, 2006

I first picked this book up a year or so ago and I could not get into it. Then I saw it there on the shelf and decided to give it another chance. I was very glad I did. It is an epic novel of India, spanning over decades. Mistry is the Charles Dickens of Indian fiction. He spends a lot of time carefully developing each character until the reader feels like he or she has know the characters their whole lives. Be patient with this book; once you get into it, you won't be able to put it down.

Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris
Me Talk Pretty One Day

maizydaze, September 23, 2006

This was the first book I read by David Sedaris. I have never been much into autobiograpies or essays, but this book made me laugh so hard I cried. Sedaris' dead-pan humor is sure to make anyone a fan.
