Always wanted to try out Khaled Hosseini since he’s so famous. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Somehow, I have not yet gotten around to reading A Thousand Splendid Suns 😉 Thanks for participating in this giveaway 🙂 I’m a follower on Twitter (Chinoiseries).
I loved Canterbury Tales when I read them in school. The White tiger would also interest me.

My 17 year old daughter (who is attending college) read A Thousand Splendid Suns this year, and she said it was amazing. I felt bad because I had not had a chance to read it, and thus could not discuss the book with her when she was finished. I would love the chance to read and discuss this book.
Thanks so much. Oh, nd I am an email follower!
It’s been a very long time since I read The Chanterbury Tales. I’ve signed up to follow you as I’m always looking far something new to read.

I have read “The White Tiger” by Aravind Adiga, and I think it is an ABSOLUTELY beautiful book, despite the subject being such a dark one. I think its beauty lies in the fact that it is so refreshingly real, and hones in on how desperation can become a driving force some people. If you liked that one, I’d definitely recommend “Behind the Beautiful Forevers” by Katherine Boo. It is an absolutely brilliant non-fiction book that reads like a fiction novel – a book so well written, I became fully immersed in it. It speaks of the resilience of the people of the slums of Mumbai, despite the adversities that they face on every day basis!
I am NOT entering the giveaway, because I’ve read both these amazing books, and love them both. But what great choices, for a giveaway! 😀 Thank you for your generosity, and for being part of the Literary Giveaway Hop.

ON THE DEATH OF A SUNDAY PAINTER – Arvind Krishna Mehrotra
He smoked a cherry-wood pipe, knew all about cannas,
And deplored our lack of a genuine fast bowler.
My uncle called his wife Soft Hands.
Once in 1936 he sat in his Holland Hall drawing-room
Reading Ulysses when a student walked in.
Years later I read him an essay on D.H. Lawrence
And the Imagists; he listened,
Then spoke of Lord Clive, the travels of Charles M. Doughty,
“My dear young fellow . . . ”
I followed the truck on my bicycle
And left early; his friends sat all afternoon
In the portico of a nearby house.
Two books I still haven’t read, oops! I’m fairly sure I have A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS somewhere, but I definitely haven’t got THE WHITE TIGER. Thanks very much – and enjoy the hop!
