More new books...

Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon
The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro
The Honourable Company by John Keay

All 3 were due to a coupon I got from a quiz as mentioned earlier. Also spent Rs. 43o extra. But Rs 570 (140 y'day) for 6 new books is not so bad.

The 1st book above was bought due to its cult status and hence popular culture for me :)
The 2nd of the above is due to my being Ishi-ly charmed by the gentle Japanglais.
The 3rd one is due to our learned friend & philosopher (pun intended) Ludwig who has written glowingly about the author, persuading us to sample a bit and get impressed enough to buy one of his books.

More when we finish one of nearly half a dozen books we have on our table
