I have a feeling you will love Lalami. <br /><br />Thank you for the comments on my blog today. I am trying to get out of this funk, but it's really tough.

I've read so...Wonderful journey you've got planned. I've read some of those books... the one that sticks in my head as magical is "If on a winter’s night a traveller." I really should go back and reread that one. I've been looking forward to reading "Inheritance of Loss," too. Have you read Laila Lalami's "Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits"? I read her blog, http://www.lailalalami.com/blog/ and I'm totally fascinated by her views. Somehow, the book escaped my attention when I was working at the bookstore and never ended up in my mountain. I'll have to see if the library has a copy.

However his other novel is “Dance of Small Time Demons” but as I said I haven’t read Vidojković so far, he published five novels and numerous stories in many literature magazines (and he’s only 31!).

I can meet you in India....I'll be in Bombay to meet "Shantaram" and you'll be there to meet "Vishnu", perfect!<br /><br /><br />Love your choice of books - I particularly look forward to reading what you have to say about "Ways of Dying", looks like an excellent book!<br /><br />"If on a Winter's Night A Traveller" I have also heard about it - will be looking for your review - hope you enjoy the reread.<br /><br />But the one I am looking forward to the most is "Kandze". I love new authors the world over and since I have never read anything from Serbia, this might just be the one I choose.<br /><br />Good luck with the reading and please keep us updated!Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898736780985062312.post-92145752014418607472007-01-13T19:36:00.000+01:002007-01-13T19:36:00.000+01:00What a neat idea.

I'd probably never stick to it though. <br /><br />Glad to see one of my books got in there. :)<br /><br />I've read Forbidden Face, and thought it was really good. I have Death of Vishnu, Snow, and Reading Lolita in Tehran on my TBR list too. <br /><br />Hope everything is well, ShannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
