I read 2 books in the last month - Deception Point and 'House for Mr.Biswas' - 2 books that couldn't be any further content-wise.
After 'Da Vinci code', Deception Point, although a fast read, was a let down.
On the other hand, I took around 20 days to finish House for Mr.Biswas. It was my bed-time story. Initially, it seemed drab and I lost interest when there were no plots, as is the norm in other books i read. But somehow, the flow was there..When I finished, I felt it was one of the better ones I have read in a while, along with Tharoor's Riot. I have discovered V.S.Naipaul!
