Like I said, it got a lot of rave reviews here in North America, but I am not sure what the Indian public is making of it. I started it - got to page 50, or so, and then abandoned it in favor of a library book which was on a time limit.<BR/><BR/>I would dearly love to know what you think of it. However, after "The Kite Runner" most other books pale in comparison, so consider yourself warned! :)<BR/><BR/>I will be looking out for the review on your blog - you will be reviewing it, right?Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-1145161993664674712006-04-16T00:33:00.000-04:002006-04-16T00:33:00.000-04:00Like the Kite Runner, am chasing another one of yo...Like the Kite Runner, am chasing another one of your reccommendations...inheritence of loss.<BR/><BR/>Wish me luck!ContentmentINDIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010138908876416748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-1145153132512466292006-04-15T22:05:00.000-04:002006-04-15T22:05:00.000-04:00Thanks, Susan!

It will be very interesting to see what the House decides after they return from their spring break.<BR/><BR/>And, your post on Mysore Pak whet my appetite for the Indian sweet, so this afternoon I treated myself to not one, but two chunky pieces of the delicacy. I feel guilty but oh so sated! :)Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-1145031979198334062006-04-14T12:26:00.000-04:002006-04-14T12:26:00.000-04:00I'm so glad that a book like this has come out dur...I'm so glad that a book like this has come out during the immigration bill debate. Your review is so thorough, which is great too. I was heartened by the numbers of people who came out to protest the more rigorous parts of the bill (making illegality a felony! just as an example) but there are also so many who only think about job loss in the U.S. and blame the weakest participants in that mix (not the corporations who take advantage of illegal status to pay sub-minimum wages, or the "coyotes" [people smugglers] who charge fees around $10,000 to take people across the border and are some of the source of the debt the immigrants find themselves in, for example) <BR/>Bla bla bla...

I think we owe it to ourselves and to everybody else affected by these issues to educate ourselves on both sides of the debate.<BR/><BR/>Yeay, so glad to have reignited the reading spark in you, Ms. Contentment! You hear that Melissa? It was your review on KiteRunner that did the trick! :)<BR/><BR/>What are you planning on reading next?Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-1145009852667598492006-04-14T06:17:00.000-04:002006-04-14T06:17:00.000-04:00Dear Lotus,My comment has nothing to do with your ...Dear Lotus,<BR/><BR/>My comment has nothing to do with your current review, but wanted you to know, that thanks to your blog, I sought out The Kite Runner, hibernated on the waiting list and finally sunk my teeth into some good reading-- after almost two years!<BR/><BR/>As your review promised , I found I couldn't put it down and ended up reading till 2 in the morning!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for rekindling the love for good reading!ContentmentINDIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010138908876416748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-1144942678081910102006-04-13T11:37:00.000-04:002006-04-13T11:37:00.000-04:00Great review!

Recently, Canadian officials deported some undocumented workers back to Europe, so this was a topic widely discussed here too.Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-1144901883566233182006-04-13T00:18:00.000-04:002006-04-13T00:18:00.000-04:00Well done, Lotus!
