So Many Books Left to Read

Recently, I read the book Londonstani by Gautam Malkani. The books tells the story of Jas in London, a low confidence loser-ish type guys who looks up to punjabi Hard-Jit as a semi role model and then finds a dude by the name of Sanjay who is a big shot and thus the story goes. The wiki page of the book calls it a monumental failure. But i choose to digress from that point of view. It is a good book. As long as you can stomach sms-speak. Almost no punctuation for sentences in the whole course of the novel. Lengthy discourses about economics, supply and demand, and almost homo-erotic attempts of the novel's hero in seducing a girl, which make you feel pathetic for the poor fellow. But a good book, i must say, without a hint of sarcasm or something. I enjoyed reading it. Because that's what I do. I enjoy reading.

Give it a go, but only if you borrow it from a friend, or get is from a library. Not worth buying.
